Warhammer 40,000 App Adds New Edition Rules on June 17 as Unit Points Shift Across Game

Summary
June 17 will bring a refreshed Warhammer 40,000 app with full new-edition rules, updated unit points, Detachment Points, Force Dispositions and an interactive Munitorum Field Manual.
The points overhaul is tied to core rules changes: many vehicles, monsters, flying units, psychic attackers and battle-shock manipulators rise in cost, while Fights First units, large 20-model squads, Stealth units and some artillery generally get cheaper.
Some powerful units will cost more when taken multiple times, and certain weapon upgrades now carry points costs; Games Workshop cited the Redemptor Dreadnought's macro plasma incinerator at 10 points, offset by a 10-point base cut.
Players keeping the current edition for final games this weekend were told to disable auto-updates, because the updated app will no longer support older editions once installed.
Quarterly balance updates will remain standard, but the studio plans monthly interventions for the first 3 months of the new edition if needed, with the first follow-up due by late July.
