New Warhammer 40k points changes are here for Chapter Approved 2022 Warzone Nephilim which you can download as a PDF for free!
We originally saw some of the new changes to Warhammer 40k missions and secondary objectives updates at the US Open Finals in Jan of 2022. Since then we’ve seen rules and points leaks, a new Chapter Approved GT 2022 book, changes to secondaries, and the introduction of seasons for Warhammer 40k.
So that will be a big change to how new and existing Warhammer 40k rules are balanced and how many updates you will have to keep up with as a player.
Now Chapter Approved WarZone Nephilim has arrived for the second season of 2022 along with free points changes via downloadable PDFs from Games Workshop here.
Chapter Approved – War Zone Nephilim: Grand Tournament Mission Pack Retail Price: $30

Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the exciting world of matched play, Chapter Approved: War Zone Nephilim has something for you.
Chapter Approved Grand Tournament 2022 Points Changes
It looks like all the new Chapter Approved Points changes have leaked in the 40k app already, but dont forget there will be a free PDF download accessible for everyone upon release of the book on June 25th, 2022.
Long-time competitive players will notice that the Munitorum Field Manual is absent – fear not! This season brings with it our first free points update. The entire points update document will be available to download in a digital format from this very website, so players who want the latest points changes for their matched play games will have free and easy access.
There are a ton of threads going with everyone chiming in about various faction updates. The first one below for Space Marines comes from Reddit.
However keep in mind these have not been verified, and the complete list of Chapter Approved 2022 Warzone Nephilim points changes are available for download now.
