Start building your new army lists with the latest 10th Edition Warhammer 40k Munitorum Field Manual points, updates, and changes from June 2025!
Updated June 18th, 2025, by Rob Baer with the latest codex points for every faction and the Knight updates.
Warhammer 40k army point costs, datasheets, army rules, codex books, and index cards are constantly being updated, which is probably a good thing- no one likes an eternal format.
Now, with the latest 10th Edition Warhammer 40k points update, it’s time to make new lists, as the game itself is in flux once again.
Here is our breakdown of all the latest 10th Edition 40k points changes from the June 2025 rules changes to the Balance Dataslate.
June 2025 Updates
Starting out, maybe just as important as the points, Games Workshop said they will now only be doing 40k Balance Dataslate updates every other quarter. Initially, they said every quarter, while point changes will be every quarter.
Plus, there will also be new quarterly detachment drops for factions through the release of 11th edition, as we saw with Grotmas.
Then in June 2025, the latest 10th edition points update dropped alongside a full balance update, shaking the game up even more.
Let’s start with the winners and losers from the 10th Edition Munitorum Field Manual Warhammer 40k points update. Then, get into the specific Warhammer 40k army point costs now.
Buffed Factions:
- Adepta Sororitas – Castigator, Immolator, Junith Eruita, Paragon Warsuits, Retributors, Repentia, Seraphim, and Triumph of Saint Katherine are all cheaper.
- Adeptus Custodes – Allarus Custodians dropped across all unit sizes.
- Adeptus Mechanicus – Ironstriders, Skorpius Disintegrators, Sydonian Dragoons with Taser Lances, and enhancements discounted.
- Chaos Knights – Their points were put out later, but they seem to have gotten massive buffs across the board.
- Chaos Space Marines – Chaos Lord with Jump Pack, Dark Apostle, Fellgor Beastmen, Master of Possession, and Traitor Enforcer all cost less.
- Drukhari – Mandrakes, Raider, Ravager, and Venom are now more affordable.
- Genestealer Cults – Atalan Jackals dropped in cost.
- Grey Knights – Brotherhood Champion, large Terminator Squads, and Paladins got points cuts.
- Imperial Knights – Just like their chaos cousins, the big knights went way down in points, letting you squeeze a couple more into the list.
- Space Marines – Aggressors, Vanguard Veterans, Marneus Calgar, Heavy Intercessors, and more units saw price drops.
- Space Wolves – Bjorn the Fell-Handed, Grey Hunters, and Wolf Guard units are now cheaper.
- Tyranids – Hive Tyrant, Winged Hive Tyrant, Hive Guard, Screamer-Killer, and Swarmlord dropped in points.
- Black Templars – Grimaldus, Helbrecht, Sword Brethren, and Crusaders are now more righteous and more affordable.
- Blood Angels – Astorath, Dante, Mephiston, Lemartes, Death Company Dreadnoughts and Jump Marines, Sanguinary Guard, and Sanguinary Priest all dropped.
NERF-ed Factions:
- Aeldari – Autarchs, Fire Dragons, Howling Banshees, Warlock Conclave, and Ynnari elites went up.
- Astra Militarum – Krieg Infantry, Leman Russ Battle Tank, Taurox, and Ursula Creed all got costlier.
- Death Guard – Nurglings saw a point hike—Grandfather Nurgle is charging extra for giggling plagues.
- Emperor’s Children – Daemon Prince of Slaanesh (with wings), Lucius the Eternal, and Noise Marines went up.
- Necrons – Lokhust Destroyers and Skorpekh Lord saw cost increases.
- Orks – Flash Gitz, Lootas, Tankbustas, Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun, and others increased in price.
- T’au Empire – Stealth Battlesuits and enhancements got more expensive.
- Chaos Daemons – (Outside of one buff), a couple of enhancements saw nerfs, and Nurglings go up.
May 2025 Updates
Only a couple of factions are getting the points love in this round—but honestly, that’s pretty standard these days. GW drops a fresh codex, and before your glue’s even dry on a new squad, the numbers start dancing. This time, it’s the World Eaters, Death Guard, and not surprisingly, the Thousand Sons, now getting the shake-up.
Most units are getting a points drop (always welcome), though a few are inching up just enough to raise an eyebrow. So if you just cracked open that brand-new codex with dreams of a flawless list…maybe hit pause. These changes might just rewrite your weekend plans—and probably save you a few points in the process.

All of these 10th Edition Warhammer 40k Munitorum Field Manual points updates and changes are legal for play right now!
Adepta Sororitas Point Changes
Buffs: Castigator, Immolator, Junith Eruita, Paragon Warsuits, Retributors, Repentia, Seraphim, and even the mighty Triumph of Saint Katherine all got cheaper. It’s a good day for faith-fueled firepower and martyrdom made efficient.
Nerfs: None. The Emperor protects, especially your wallet, this time around.
Old Points
Adeptus Custodes Points Updates
Buffs: Allarus Custodians across all unit sizes saw meaningful point drops. Golden demigods in Terminator armor, now at discount prices. Your enemies may flee, but they still won’t escape.
Nerfs: None. Still elite. Still deadly. Just a little easier to bring more of them.
Old Points
Adeptus Mechanicus Points
Buffs: Ironstriders, Skorpius Disintegrators, and Sydonian Dragoons with Taser Lances all saw reductions, and even a detachment enhancement got cheaper. The cogboys are cranking out savings as efficiently as their murder-bots.
Nerfs: None. The Machine God smiles upon your optimized spreadsheets.
Old Points
Aeldari Points Update
Buffs: Fire Prism, Shining Spears, and War Walkers all dropped in points, meaning the Craftworlds are bringing sleek speed and long-range death for less.
Nerfs: Autarchs, Fire Dragons, Howling Banshees, the Warlock Conclave, and multiple Ynnari characters and elites all went up. Seems GW remembered you were winning games and decided to tax your elegance.
Old Points
Agents of The Imperium
No changes this time around.
Astra Militarum Points
Buffs: Bullgryns, Death Riders, and Tempestus Aquilons got cheaper. Whether it’s muscle, cavalry, or elite stormtroopers, the Guard’s got more cost-efficient answers.
Nerfs: Krieg infantry saw a bump, and so did the Leman Russ Battle Tank, Taurox, and poor Ursula Creed. Apparently victory through overwhelming firepower needed just a little less overwhelming.
Old Points
Black Templars Points Updates
Buffs: Chaplain Grimaldus, High Marshal Helbrecht, Primaris Crusaders, and Sword Brethren all got point drops. The righteous rage of the Templars is now budget-friendly.
Nerfs: None. The Black Templars march forward, undeterred and unnerfed.
Old Points
Blood Angels Points
Buffs: From Astorath and Dante to Mephiston and Lemartes, several heroes got cheaper. Death Company Dreadnoughts, Jump Pack Marines, Sanguinary Guard, and even the Sanguinary Priest all saw drops. It’s a full-blown angelic sale on vengeance.
Nerfs: None. The sons of Sanguinius are flying high and paying less.
Old Points
Chaos Daemons Points
Buffs: Slaughterthirst got a cut—less cost for more fury. Just the way Khorne likes it.
Nerfs: Nurglings are pricier now, as are some enhancement options for the Shadow Legion. Papa Nurgle’s gifts come at a cost—probably due to inflation. Of bile.
Old Points
Chaos Knights Points
Updated June 18th, 2025
Buffs: Nearly every major unit receives a points drop. Core units like the Knight Abominant, Desecrator, Despoiler, and Rampager are now significantly more affordable, alongside several War Dog variants and Forge World titans such as the Cerastus and Questoris-class Knights.
Their toughness went down while their wounds went up two on War Dogs and four on larger knights. Even key enhancements like Fleshmetal Fusion and Veil of Medrengard have seen reductions.
Nerfs: The Lords of Dread haven’t gone unnoticed—five of their powerful enhancements, including Mirror of Fates and Throne Mechanicum of Skulls, have been hit with notable points increases.
Old points, pre-codex.
Chaos Space Marines Points:
Buffs: Chaos Lord with Jump Pack, Dark Apostle, Fellgor Beastmen, Master of Possession, and Traitor Enforcer all got points drops. The ruinous powers reward devotion with a more affordable tide of heretical might.
Nerfs: No point increases—clearly, the Dark Gods are in a generous mood.
Old Points
Dark Angels Points
No changes from the previous Munitorum.
10th Edition 40k Dataslate Death Guard Points
Buffs: No new gifts from Grandfather Nurgle this time.
Nerfs: Nurglings saw a points bump. Even tiny, cheerful plaguespawns aren’t immune to inflation.
Old Codex Points
Deathwatch Points
One point adjustment, not really a NERF or buff.
Old Points
Drukhari Points
Buffs: Mandrakes, Raiders, Ravagers, and Venoms all got cheaper. The realspace raiders sharpen their blades and speed toward carnage at a discount.
Nerfs: None. The price of pain has never been so economical.
Old Points
Emperor’s Children Points
Buffs: Fulgrim dropped in points—more elegance, more slaughter, now at a reduced rate
Nerfs: Daemon Prince of Slaanesh (with wings), Lucius the Eternal, and Noise Marines got pricier. Perfection, it seems, comes with a premium.
Old Points
Genestealer Cults Points
Buffs: Atalan Jackals saw reductions. The rebellion accelerates with cheaper bikes and more insurgent bite.
Nerfs: None. The cult thrives in the shadows—undetected, untouched.
Old Points
Grey Knights Points Changes For 10th Edition 40k
Buffs: Brotherhood Champion and large Terminator and Paladin squads got cheaper. The Emperor’s psychic elite become more attainable—miracles now on a tighter budget.
Nerfs: None. The daemon-hunters remain both holy and fiscally stable.
Old Points
Imperial Knights Points
Updated June 18th, 2025
Buffs: Every major Knight chassis sees a significant points drop. The towering Knight Castellan and Valiant lead the charge with a massive 115-point reduction, while stalwarts like the Crusader, Paladin, and Warden also become more affordable.
Even Forge World titans like the Cerastus Castigator and Questoris Magaera enjoy major cuts, empowering Imperial commanders with more armored might for fewer points.
Their toughness went down while their wounds went up two on Armigers and four on the larger knights.
Nerfs: No point increases—clearly, the Emperor smiles upon His noble houses.
Old Points
Leagues of Votann Points
Points unchanged from the previous Munitorum.
Necrons Points
Buffs: Doomstalkers, Wraiths, Deathmarks, Plasmancers, Illuminor Szeras, and Technomancers all dropped in cost. The ancient legions rise with more efficiency—and fewer credits.
Nerfs: Lokhust Destroyers and the Skorpekh Lord went up. Some units still remember the burden of excessive power.
Old Points
10th Edition 40k Orks Points
Buffs: Deffkoptas, Boomdakka Snazzwagons, Squighog Boyz, and more got cheaper. More dakka, more zoom, more ‘urty for fewer teef.
Nerfs: Big Meks with Shokk Attack Guns, Lootas, Flash Gitz, and others saw increases. Some Ork toys got a little too kunnin’ and brutal.
Old Points
Space Marines Points
Buffs: Aggressors, Vanguard Vets, Marneus Calgar, and more received cuts. The Angels of Death rally with greater numbers and lower costs.
Nerfs: None. Even Guilliman is smiling at the ledger.
Old Points
Space Wolves Points
Buffs: Bjorn, Grey Hunters, and Wolf Guard units got cheaper. The sons of Russ are howling louder for less.
Nerfs: Thunderwolf Cavalry and Wulfen saw price hikes. Big wolves and frothing berserkers don’t come cheap anymore.
Old index points.
Tau Points
Buffs: None. Cold efficiency doesn’t always mean discounted firepower.
Nerfs: Stealth Battlesuits and a few enhancements went up. Even the Greater Good isn’t immune to balancing acts.
Old Points
Thousand Sons Points
No changes from the previous codex changes.
Tyranids Points
Buffs: Hive Tyrant, Winged Hive Tyrant, Hive Guard, Screamer-Killer, and Swarmlord dropped in points. The swarm grows hungrier—and more affordable.
