- Enabled the new Craft Bolter Ammo (same as bike twin-linked heavy bolter ammo) and removed the old version to match 035.
- Set several vanilla Chaos Marines to 1 psiSkill, to avoid them getting vanilla OXCE values.
- Change two slaanesh scouts to appear as mediums instead of small on radar reports. Various other size upgrades on radar return for other UFO/Crafts.
- Scion Officer Carapace ufopedia fix.
- PDF Flak Armor appearing everywhere fix
- Female Imperial PDF now with different inventory sprite from the male version.

- Some GFX improvements for Tzeentch faction abilities.
- Removed voice line 3816 when moving male Scions, which would play 1 minute of voice clips.

- Added missing RandomType+FireBlastCalc to Redeemer Shells and LB Inferno Ammo
- Moved some chaos weapons into the chaos -pedia category (previously under weapons and equipment).
CHANGES:
- TEST: Visual Indicator of hits. Units flash red if they've taken health damage, or white if they've only taken armor damage. The more intense the red flash, the greater the damage dealt.
- Added more mission types to the starting month script to increase variation of enemy lists encountered (not just normal cult/tzeentch cult).
- Removed promethium cost from HB_clip, makes existance more tolerable for Grey Knights.
- Faster Rhino refuel rate so it doesn't take 3 days to refuel.
- Vostroya Autofire reduced to 2 shots, but made more accurate.
- (Heavy) Lascannons reload speed standardized to 30 TU (slow to reload).
- More bolters have access to Kraken and Metal Storm rounds.
- Ultra Pattern Boltgun (available in the trade outpost) improved to be inbetween normal and mastercrafted pattern.
- ENEMY BASES: The bigger the base, the bigger the reward for destroying it, and the greater the penalty for aborting. Abort penalties are half the point rewards. Abort penalties are meant to counter base farming.
- Penalties for enemy Bases operating around the world updated (was already a thing, but weaker):
Bases now penalize score per day equal to X^2 where X is equal to their base level, capping at -20 per day.
Level 1 Base: -1 point per day
Level 2 Base: -4 points per day
Level 3 Base: -8 points per day
Level 4 Base: -16 points per day
Level 5 Base: -20 points per day
CSM and Necron bases count as being level 4. This is meant to feature base proliferation as a soft lose condition.
- Grenade changes: Smoke, Frag, Phosphor, Melta, Hologram, Eldar and Krak grenades made slightly lighter (-1 weight from previously) and cheaper to prime and throw. Frags and kraks can be primed and thrown in the same turn (30-40% TU cost per action). For frags, 60% of TU cost instead of 80% previously. Proximity and Krak grenades cost 70% of TU. Heavier grenades cost 10% more TU to throw and the Melta bomb costs 80% TU to prime and throw.
- Sound-effects added to indicate priming/unprimed grenades.
- Lighter weight means they can be tossed their maximum distance by lower strength units.
- Frag grenades now do less item damage (-75%).
- 40mm launched melta grenades preArmor damage improved. 50% of 90 power in armor damage.
ADEPTAS:
- Adapted Adeptas Sentinel variants for Drop Pod use (less prone to seriously injuring the pilot on drop).
- Melta-lance Sentinel improved. Slightly better armor and better attack range (harmony beamer melta type).
- Arche Sniper Rifle max range 35 removed.
