March 2026 Balance Update for Warhammer 40,000 tightens core units
Warhammer Community's March 2026 Quarterly Balance Update delivers targeted rules and points tweaks for Warhammer 40,000, aligned with new Detachments and expansions like The Maelstrom and Eye of Terror. Notable changes include light balance tweaks across multiple factions (Aeldari, Chaos Daemons, Necrons, Space Marines, etc.), Aeldari WRAITHs point decreases, small point increases for Astra Militarum Rogal Dorn tanks, higher points for Chaos Daemons and Thousand Sons, renegade Space Marines restricted from Cults of the Dark Gods, and Necron C’tan adjustments to treat shards as powerful standalone units with monster exclusions. Space Marines also see increases on some top-performing units to broaden list diversity. Downloads with faction packs containing all updates are available.
