EDITORIAL NOTE

Warhammer 40,000 11th edition launches Saturday 20 June 2026. The Archive is pausing weekly data ingestion (Performance pulls, ELO updates, Attention snapshots) through the transition and resuming with the first post-launch competitive weekend. Existing W23 data remains visible on every signal; the next data cycle lands the week of 3 July 2026, capturing tournaments held on 27–28 June — the first competitive weekend of 11th edition play. The Editor is using the gap for site refinements.

THE INFINITE ARCHIVE

Competitive Warhammer 40,000, measured.

Metagame analysis, original data signals, and the statistical tools behind every number — the methodology the win-rate tables leave out.
Data is infinite, understanding it is Divine.

The Phalanx is the community that sustains the Archive — the people who submit, flag, survey, and review. Three roles keep this place honest: the Archivist computes, the Editor interprets, the Phalanx contributes.
