The Edinburgh Super Major wasn't just another tournament: it was another major milestone for 11th Edition.
With over 200 players competing across five rounds in the UKTC's first-ever event in Scotland, the weekend produced a huge amount of valuable competitive data. Every game, every faction and every result helped paint a clearer picture of the emerging meta.
The more games are played, the clearer the trends become.
And Edinburgh gave us plenty to analyse...
Innes Wins Edinburgh
First, the headline result.
Congratulations to Innes Wilson, who took down the Edinburgh Super Major with Dark Angels, finishing 1st overall after a perfect 7-win run across the event and bracket rounds.
The Edinburgh podium was stacked:
Innes Wilson Dark Angels
Lewis Davie Tyranids
Blair Wilson Chaos Demons
Ross Tully T'au Empire
Scott McCutcheon Space Marines (Astartes)
Chris Stewart Space Marines (Astartes)
Paul Martin Orks
Euan Devlin Necrons
Conar Leach Imperial Knights
Bill Paterson Necrons
Innes Wilson showcased exactly what his Dark Angels build could do, pairing the overwhelming force of the Deathwing with the versatility of Dark Angels Psychic Disciplines to deliver an undefeated run and secure the Edinburgh Super Major crown.
The Top Five Got Rewritten
The Edinburgh Super Major reinforced what Birmingham had already begun to show: King of 11th Rankings can change quickly.
Just five rounds were enough to reshape the leaderboard once again, rewarding strong performances and reminding everyone that every Super-Major has the power to redefine the race.
Before Edinburgh, the top five were:
Mani Cheema
Ben Jones
Greg Chamberlain
Theo Hayat
Scott Morris
After Edinburgh, the top five became:
Innes Wilson
Mani Cheema
Ross Tully
Ben Jones
Scott Morris
The Edinburgh Super Major produced the first major shake-up of the rankings.
Innes Wilson's victory propelled him straight to the top of the leaderboard, while Ross Tully's undefeated run earned him a place in the top three. Mani Cheema, Ben Jones and Scott Morris all remain firmly in the hunt, but the order at the top has already changed after just one Super-Major.
As always, the biggest events reward those who perform on the biggest stages. Edinburgh wasn't just about lifting a trophy, it was an opportunity to bank valuable ranking points while the rest of the field watched from home.
One Super-Major down, and the race for King of 11th is already taking shape. With a full edition still ahead, every event offers another chance to climb... or another opportunity for someone else to move past you.
The Edinburgh Meta: What Actually Won Games?
Another Super-Major means another chance to see how the new edition is evolving.
With more than 200 players descending on Edinburgh, the event produced one of the largest datasets we've seen so far in 11th Edition. Every round added another layer to our understanding of which armies are thriving and which still have work to do.
The biggest army in attendance was Space Marines, followed by Adeptus Custodes, Blood Angels and Orks.
The biggest surprise came from the T'au Empire. Despite bringing only nine players, the faction produced a superb 64.9% win rate, comfortably leading the field.
Space Wolves, Leagues of Votann and Chaos Daemons also posted excellent results, while Thousand Sons continued their strong early-edition form.
Elsewhere, many of the most popular armies remained remarkably balanced. Space Marines, Custodes, Necrons, Tyranids and Orks all clustered around the 50% mark, showing just how competitive the current landscape appears to be.
At the other end of the standings, Aeldari, Chaos Knights and Adeptus Mechanicus struggled to convert games into wins, highlighting just how quickly fortunes can change in a brand-new edition.
Force Dispositions: The Picture Becomes Clearer
With another Super-Major in the books, we're starting to see meaningful trends emerge in Force Dispositions.
The vast majority of players continued to favour Purge the Foe and Take and Hold, making them by far the most common choices throughout the weekend.
Interestingly, it was Take and Hold that converted those games into the strongest results, finishing on a 53.4% win rate. Priority Assets and Purge the Foe both remained remarkably close to the 50% benchmark, while Reconnaissance and particularly Disruption found the going much tougher.
It's still the opening chapter of 11th Edition, and player familiarity will continue to evolve. But after another event with hundreds of games recorded, we're beginning to move beyond first impressions and towards genuine competitive trends.
One Super-Major. Major Movement.
It only took one Super-Major for the King of 11th Rankings to be turned on their head.
New names entered the top five. A new number one emerged. Players who delivered standout performances made huge leaps up the leaderboard, while those who missed the event saw the race move on without them.
Every event has the potential to reshape the standings... and with the season only just beginning, there's still everything to play for.
