Codex: Space Marines | Multi-Part Intercessor & Vanguard Vet Teaser | Legends Culling

Interesting - deathwatch and imperial knights are black as they have comparatively little in the way of play data so swing more for wins and losses.

 

Looks a lot more normal here. Fairly evenly spread across the full range.

Almost like taking only the first week of a new codex worth of games probably isn't very indicative of anything. Who would have thought?

For last weekend, 18 of 32 events were won by a form of marine and of the top 14 armies, 8 are a form of marine. Codex Space Marines had the highest rate of X-0/X-1 of all armies, Notably marines didn't have the highest 4-0%. 

This notably shows that Codex Space Marines aren't only being played by top contenders but are most regularly able to be piloted up to winning positions. Likewise it's showing that the armies impacted by the changes rolled out are largely the ones reaping the biggest benefit.

This reinforces everything from last week, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Edit: apparently if you only look at codex marine forces that include deathwatch units/detachment the total true winrate sits at 69%, nice and game-healthy!

Every post Rubicon edition starts with marines on fire

 

Side ish note: is it true the lead 40k game designer (Robin Crudace sic) left midway through 11ths design? Which is why we got a soft reset/codex rollover edition with way more changes than originally intended?

I saw that somewhere too but no idea. It would make sense though, this edition does feel more Phil Kellyish

Seems like Robin Cruddace might be at Warcradle: https://blog.warcradle.com/blog/welcoming-robin-cruddace-to-the-warcradle-studios-team

 

Not sure if this is still true in late 2026.

AFAIK Phil Kelly did leave his job as lead AoS lore writer/steward, pre the huuuge change to the AoS setting, but didnt move to 40k
