Warhammer 40,000: New edition brings points updates, refreshed app, and ongoing balance

Warhammer Community confirms the new Warhammer 40,000 edition is almost here: a refreshed 40k App with full unit points, Detachment Points, and Force Dispositions, plus a Munitorum Field Manual; points go live on June 17 (about 48 hours after the article). The app will integrate with the new rules, include a War Journal, and let you view opponent rules and datasheets during play. If you’re finishing current edition games this weekend, disable auto-updates, as older edition rules won’t be supported after update. The changes focus on core-rule-driven point shifts (many mid-range and large models go up, some infantry go up or down, flying models navigate easier but may cost more, and certain abilities/tricks affect costs). Balance updates are planned quarterly, with monthly adjustments possible in the first three months after launch (first by end of July).
