I'm really loving these new rules. I wouldn't mind trying a few games under these rules to see if it's...well...playable.
They seem very well thought out (with a few glaring exceptions) and I'm hopeful they'll actually be "the real thing".

This fixes so many problems. I don't give a ****, if 6th isn't this good, I'm playing this game.
Did anyone else notice the changes in the chaos space marine section of the erratas that removed the ability of the Chaos Dreadnought to shoot at your own guys?
Weeeeeeeeell...looks like Nick (TastyTaste Nick, not Old Man Cheaty Nick) now claims it's a bag of fakery:

Now TT has never done something like that again, but damn, if it IS a fake, I'm very, very impressed at the amount of work that went into making it...and maybe a wee bit disappointed that they are. :)
I honestly think he's either been strong-armed, or his source of info is being fed a line; If it's a hoax, GW will say it's a hoax. If it's real, GW will say it's a hoax.
Maybe it is a hoax, but IMO, the rules are too much more fun and interesting than 5th edition during a time of stagnation, for it to not be legit, at least insofar as a playtest set that they worked with at some point.
Hopefully they were wise enough to stick with it, and something like this is what we'll see in July, because it was quickly met with a pretty widespread positive feeling.
Its a hoax, some guy spent 6 months writing and play testing. Gotcha!
Yes, there are gaming nerds that would do something like that.
On the other hand, BoK is not saying much beyond "one of my sources told me it's a hoax." The source could be telling the truth, may be talking out of his/her ass, or could be lying through his teef. Who the heck knows.
I'm just gonna sit back, enjoy the drama, and wait for something definite to come out.
it could be a "fake" or at least not remotely resemble the finished product...
GW guy has creative differences with business unit...
business vetoes because they have a plan that will sell more books
guy leaks this because it will never see the light of day
I hope it's not
Needs more time to bake-in. Awesome abilities like "watch out, sergeant" make it more interactive. No Retreat critical hits is pretty brutal for Marines.
