Welcome to 6th edition 40K


Alright, I have four games under my belt, all 1000 points, with all three of my armies. All I gotta say is "Awesome!"
Three of my four games were a blast. The other was a test game for CSM and the new psychic powers. The game was fun, but my test list versus Nabors' beat face list(yes I said Nabors and beat face) not a blast. His overwatch eating my everything didn't really help. Once I got my termies stuck in, though, the fun definitely increased.
As far as the rules, I just finished USRs, but so far, looks good. A bunch of small changes that I know I am going to get stuck on, but mostly the same.
I'm already making a list of rules I played wrong over the weekend, but luckily, there weren't that many.

Highlights:
ICs can't be singled out in combat save for a challenge
Wound allocation is fairly simple, but makes placement much more strategic
Some more that aren't coming to mind.

A few changes I'm not a fan of, but those are all on how they effect what I play.
I still don't get how I get psychic powers.
And why the heck did they take the Target Lock off of my suits?

So, what is everyone else's thoughts?

What does the mean for the environment?  Dunno.
What  does this mean for your favorite army?  Dunno?
What does this mean for the Knights of the Gaming Table?...
 It means that, as most of you know, the Knights will be presenting the 40k tournament at Tacticon this year.
Let that sink in...

It also means that on Friday night, June 29th, at midnight (Technically the 30th), we will be hosting a Midnight Release Party and late night gaming session for 40K6E!  We will sell the rulebooks, in whatever form they may be in, and anyone who purchases one will get 20% off any OTHER GW product in the store. Then, we will play VIe until we all fall over.
