Okay so with this calc previously accepted in this CRT time to do a little upgrading and reworking for some of the pages.

Melta-rifles, with that calc, become 8-B and weapons superior to it, like Multi-meltas, also become 8-B by proxy.

In addition to that, these calcs which I already got approved are going to be added to pages in order to facilitate scaling:
So these are going to be the changes to the profiles:

Adeptus Astartes

Standard Marines and Dreadnoughts would all have their stats reworked to add the 8-B calc as all of them have access to multi-meltas. Terminators don't so they're just going to get a rewording on their key. Centurions would also be reworked to add the new melta feat.

The keys would be changed to the following. The justifications won't be changed for the most part but anything I list here will be added to those pre-existing justifications:
  1. Power Armor: 8-C physically, Varies from 8-C to 8-B with weaponry (Multi-meltas are superior to melta-rifles which are this strong)
  2. Terminator Armor: At least 8-C physically (This strong), Varies from 8-C with High 8-C+ with weaponry (Use weapons like storm bolters and autocannons which can threaten standard marines and some carry meltas on combi-bolters which are this strong)
  3. Centurion Armor: At least 8-C physically, Varies from 8-C to High 8-C+ with weaponry (Use weapons like heavy bolters as well as standard meltas which should be comparable to the meltas on combi-bolters)
  4. Dreadnought: At least High 8-C physically (Capable of killing Terminators in a single blow), Varies from 8-C to 8-B with weaponry (Armed with a variety of weapons ranging from autocannons to multi-meltas)
Primaris Space Marines

Similarly to the Astartes page, this is going to be reworked:
  1. Primaris Space Marine: At least 8-C physically, Varies from at least 8-C to 8-B with weaponry (Primaris weapons are generally superior to those of the Astartes. Eradicator squads are armed with melta-rifles which are this strong)
  2. Redemptor Dreadnoughts: At least High 8-C, likely higher physically (Should be physically stronger than normal Astartes Dreadnoughts), Varies from 8-C to at least High 8-C with weaponry (Utilizes weaponry ranging from bolt rifles and heavy stubbers to macro plasma incinerators which should be stronger than normal plasma weapons)
Revising Daemon Scaling

Okay since some currently updated pages scale themselves to High 8-C off of the previous High 8-C scaling so that's going to have to change with this. Previously High 8-C came from a Daemon Prince (Urkanthos) which was unharmed by a multi-melta as well as the rest of the High 8-C scaling. Now with the 8-B multi-melta scaling I'm going to have to revise it.

Greater Daemons (and those who scale to them) are thus going to have their High 8-C stats changed to "At least 8-B" off of one, being more durable than said Daemon Prince, and two, being able to fight other characters comparable to themselves. The profiles that will need to be changed to At least 8-B are:
