EDITORIAL NOTE 11th edition transition: data resumes 3 July ›
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.

FACTIONS

DOSSIERS

The faction field guide.

Every faction in 40k carries its own arithmetic — its archetypes, its hard counters, the matchups that consistently break in or against it. Dossiers is the section that catalogs that, faction by faction. It does not republish aggregator win-rate tables; it indexes signals, names patterns, and links out to where the deeper data already lives.

The Strength Index tier list below is the cross-faction headline read. Per-faction dossier pages drill into one army at a time: archetype, per-target / per-threat radar, Unit Lab roster, concentration callout, editorial perspective, and tournament-recap cross-links.

COMING FUTURE DOSSIER SECTIONS

ON THE ROADMAP

A dossier is a description, not a verdict. The Strength Index reads four signals side by side without collapsing them; long-form essays live on Awakenings. Dossiers is the field guide between them.
