Codex: Space Marines has been out for more than a week now, and many of you have already been getting stuck in with building armies, planning your Chapter Tactics and finding the best combinations in the book.

We want to make sure that the codex works as well for you as it possibly can, and today, we’re releasing an errata with some minor changes to the book. For the most part, this is about making sure you get access to all of your wargear; Sergeants can now take melta bombs again, while various weapons now have points costs for use in your matched play games.

You can download the new errata here. But let’s take a closer look at some of the changes the new errata brings. One of the big changes we’re seeing is an adjustment to point values.

Space Marine Point Values

We’re seeing new point values for the auxiliary grenade launcher, centurion assault launchers, and ironclad assault launchers. This points update could be the difference of 5 or more models being included in your army.

Space Marine Scout Squad

Scout Squad are getting an update to Concealed Positions that reads they can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9″ from the enemy deployment zone and any enemy models.

Space Marine Tactical Squad

The tactical squad is getting a new bullet point that will give the Space Marine Sergeant the option to take melta bombs.
