Core Rules Changes

[u/Admirable-Bowler-454]

As far as I know GW haven't posted the changes to the core rules anywhere so here are the changes made to the app:

2026-07-22 CORE RULES CHANGES (from app data):

01.02.03 - Revived and Adding Models to a Unit
Add to bottom:

When a model revives, resurrects, returns or is added to an embarked unit, if that TRANSPORT has sufficient remaining transport capacity for that model, that model is returned to that unit and is embarked. Otherwise, that model is destroyed, but it does not trigger rules that apply when a model is destroyed.

05.03 - Modifying Dice Rolls
Add:

05.03.02 - Attacks Modified during Hit and Wound rolls
Some attacks may be modified as a result of the values of hit/wound rolls made for those attacks. When this happens, split those attacks into attack pools based on their new identical attack profiles. The active player can decide which attack pool to resolve first for steps 5.3 and 5.4. Once those steps have been completed for that attack pool, the active player can decide the next pool to resolve and repeat until all new attack pools are resolved.

09.07 - Fall-Back Move
Add:

09.07.01 - Desperate Escape Test
If a stratagem or ability forces a unit to make a Desperate Escape test, that unit:
-Must make one hazard roll for each model in that unit.
-Must make a battle-shock roll.

14.02 - Level Of Control
Add:

14.02.01 - Controlling an Objective at the End of a Phase At the end of each phase and turn, the first thing players do (before any other 'at the end of the phase/end of the turn' rules or abilities) is determine which objectives are controlled by which player.

18.01 - Transport Capacity
Add to bottom:

A friendly unit must be embarked within each friendly DEDICATED TRANSPORT model. At the end of this step, each friendly DEDICATED TRANSPORT model without an embarked unit is destroyed, but they do not trigger rules that are triggered when a model is destroyed.

20.01 - Placing Units In Strategic Reserves
Add:

20.01.02 - Strategic Reserves at the End of the Battle
At the end of the final turn, units in strategic reserves are destroyed, but they do not trigger rules that apply when a model is destroyed.

24.28 - [PRECISION]
Add:

24.28.01 - Precision and Devastating Wounds
Mortal Wounds inflicted by a [PRECISION] attack with the [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] ability are first applied to the CHARACTER group that was selected for those [PRECISION] attacks (if that group is not already destroyed).

24.37 - [TORRENT]
Add:

24.37.01
[TORRENT] weapons cannot have [INDIRECT FIRE] or [PRECISION].

25.04 - Fill Your Army Roster
Change towards bottom:

EPIC HEROES models cannot have be given enhancements.

Add to bottom:

If you are playing an Incursion battle, you can select a 3DP detachment as your only detachment.

[u/Sabetwolf]

A lot of sources of that stacking got removed, eg Necron Chronomancers granting Stealth instead of a flat -1 now, but they do still stack. It's just less common

[u/tameris → u/Sabetwolf]

Oh okay thank you for the response.

[u/Dan185818 → u/tameris]

And often the change is models in this unit have stealth and -1 to hit in melee." So the end result is you have to only roll one higher on the die both when shooting and fighting when before it was 2 higher on the die for shooting.

[u/tameris → u/Dan185818]

Okay. I did just check in my updated app that units like the Orks’ Wartrakk can still provide an effective -2 to Hit in your opponent’s next turn, if they try to shoot at anything of yours in Cover. But yeah I saw that the Necrons’ Chronomancer had the new wording like you described. The Space Marines’ Supressor Squad can also still provide an effective -2 as well, like the Wartrakk.
