Warhammer just made finding your 40k rules a whole lot easier.
Consequently, the Warhammer Community team is consolidating your scattered PDFs into clean faction packs. Moreover, these packs gather everything that sits alongside your Codex in one place. Therefore, you can spend less time hunting rules and more time rolling dice. Finally, here’s what’s changing and why it matters at the table.
What’s Changing and Why You’ll Care
Kenny from the Studio confirmed a full consolidation of downloadable rules into faction packs for every 40k faction. Accordingly, each pack bundles the supplemental material that enhances your Codex. Moreover, the goal is straightforward: faster lookup, fewer tabs, smoother games. Consequently, veterans and newcomers both get a friendlier on-ramp to up-to-date rules.
Inside a pack you’ll find the add-ons that expand or clarify your Codex. Specifically, that means extra Detachments, datasheets, FAQs, and errata collected together. Additionally, every pack has a contents page for quick navigation and a color-coded version change log. Therefore, you can spot updates at a glance and confirm what actually changed. Furthermore, Legends datasheets live here too, which is perfect for narrative campaigns and garage meta throwdowns.
What Stays Separate on Purpose
However, not everything jumps into the packs. The Munitorum Field Manual with all points updates remains its own document. Accordingly, you can compare points without digging through multiple faction files. Likewise, the core rules updates and the tournament companion stay separate to avoid repeating big chunks across every pack. Finally, Combat Patrol files remain standalone since Patrols are not affected by core faction changes, which keeps things crystal clear for newer players.
How This Helps You at the Table
Practically, this trims rules shuffling during games and makes tableside reference painless. Moreover, it becomes easier to share your exact faction updates with an opponent or TO right before pairings. Additionally, the Studio will continue regular Balance Dataslate and Munitorum points passes, so your packs will keep evolving. Therefore, you should check back periodically and grab the latest version before events or league nights.
Final Thoughts
This is a quality-of-life upgrade that respects your time and your brain cells. Because everything relevant to your faction lives together, you can prep faster, argue less, and play more. So hit the Downloads page, scoop your faction pack, and keep those datasheets handy. Meanwhile, we’ll be watching for the next balance wave and getting lists tuned before the weekend.
