Barbgaunt&neurotyrant points

[jean]

I'm new to 40K and this site so I guess this might be a noob question...but why aren't barbgaunts and the neurotyrant listed in the munitorum field manual? Is it because they're leviathan box content so you need to buy the codex? From what I gather barbgaunts are 60pts as of now, and I guess the NT is still 105pts? Also, should I buy the codex as soon as possible? I don't mind if the points aren't up to date, but is the codex otherwise up to date?

Welcome to the Hive!

Do you have the latest version of the Munitorum Field Manual? Verson 1.3 includes Neurotyrant and Barbgants.

Here is the latest version of the MFM.

So, about the Codex, I don't know what is "up to date". It includes 6 detachments and datasheets. Old lore and painting examples.
Is it worth buying? Unless you're a hardcore collector I'd advise maybe no. I didn't get the Codex and after reading what people on this forum had to say about it I don't think I'll be buying one.

One advantage you get from buying the Codex is that you can link it to the Games Workshop Army builder application, giving you access to army rules and datasheets on the fly, but you have free army building alternatives that are providing you access to this info for free.

I see, thanks a lot. My MFM just wasn't up to date. Yeah I decided not to buy the codex, I found a pdf for it and I can build my army without the app, although the app is super convenient. I guess I only have one question now: in the newer MFM, the Tyrannofex is 245pts. In the old MFM it was marked as having the acid spray be +20pts, but since now there's no such description I guess it's just 245 no matter what you put on it? Then again, there was a specification that termagants are 7pts/model, now there's just 60pts/10 models and 120pts/20 models...so that must mean 1 model is 6pts, even though it isn't specified?

In 10th edition all wargear is free, you do not pay for different loadouts. The squads are fixed size - there is no „points per model” anymore. Seems you are refering to mfm from 9th ed.

As above - the field manual you’re using is last edition’s - so all the points, army construction and units will be wrong.

Go by the new manual. No such thing as points per model or upgrade anymore. 11 termagants cost the same as 20. Acid Spray costs the same as Hives costs the same as Cannon.
