Is The Power Creep Real? T5 Space Marines By The Numbers

GW just announced the biggest Space Marine rewrite of the edition: Toughness 5 Tacticus bodies, Strength 5 basic weapons, a two-mode bolt rifle, Toughness 6 Terminators. Half the community says power creep. The other half says finally. The tournament scoreboard is still empty. So we did the thing this channel is built for: put the printed announcement next to the wound chart, the weapon database, and 7,697 tournament lists from this edition, and read out who actually gains, who actually loses, and who never notices. Inside: what is actually printed (and the published Intercessor profile), the rumours that are already dead, the marine family's real scoreboard (the most-played faction in the game is a coin flip), the defense math by strength band, the offense math including the guns that gain nothing, the Scout Squad wrinkle only list data shows, the official answer for Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Space Wolves and Black Templars, the twelve Legends goodbyes, and both camps' strongest hands. No verdict. The scoreboard opens in October. Sources: the official Warhammer Community announcement article and Games Workshop's own announcement video, quoted or read frame by frame; where a claim is coverage or a read, the video says so out loud. Tournament data from BCP results, GT-grade singles events since the edition launched.
