From Tabletop Gaming News. Looks to be some very promising changes (the rules, I mean, not the other thing).

Any wagers on when we might see 6th ed released?

Around the 2012 Olympics, like the GW blog said?

I hate everything apart from the new flyer rules, cover types, choosing who to wound with sniper weapons, artillery and the save part (I've always thought it logical to take a invulnerable save first and then shields, sort of like 2 layers). What does it mean by no more random movements? I also don't see how the wound allocation thing makes it more streamline.

[daemion]

yeh. i read this too. wtf. hard to get excited bout 6th when they treat us and independent gaming stores 'like shit.

thought those shooting rules were pretty deece tbh

like the sound of the new BS chart........c ould never understand how a bunch of dudes with guns 12 inchs away from a tank could miss
sounds like psychic powers are turning into fantasy type lores.
but i'm so keen for THE CHAOS LEGIONS!!!!!!

None of that looks so bad.  It'll still be a GW tabletop game at the end of the day though, so don't expect miracles.  A lot of people thought 8th edition fantasy was like the holy grail solution for the system when it came out, it isn't though.

I won't mind those changes, I'm not particularly attached to the current rule set.

I see persuits are mentioned in the consolidation phase, could this mean sweeping advance is gone? I hope so. Still take this whole thing with a ton of salt.

Sounds good to me, I might actually get my Nids made up and painted before 6th comes out.

though they better not clip vehicles in the heals too much - though mech is the soup du jour, i don't want vehicles to get shot down too easily

[Sectiplave]

I thought vehicles might be getting a little boost (well it said smoke only gives 5+) But moving vehicles actually got a modifier on the shooting to hit, to make them a little harder to shoot representing a moving vehicle.

I'm still getting a salty taste from some of that info, but I think parts of it aren't too far fetched.

Screw it! I love these new rules. There going to do wonders for my guard army (bring out the luftwaffe). But the biggest reason I love them is that they are so much more advanced and combat situations actually make sense. It is a long article but it covers pretty much all the rules. Just read about how if a unit flees off or scatters off the table edge it doesn't count as being destroyed, just removed from play (you can voluntarily do this e.g you have 1 model left in a unit and you want to deny your opponent the kill point) or units falling back can embark vehicles and count as auto-rallying.

Only negative I have about these new rules is that each codex will probably require at least 5 pages of Errata.
