White Dwarf Photos!
This is a chat that was posted on Beltway Gamers, a forum for Washinton DC area gamers. It is a chat with someone who has inside info from a GW source. It pretty much confirms what we have heard from other sources and expands on much. (I hav eedited out irrelevant stuff).
[10:35:09] <source> Ok
[10:35:13] <source> so GW is spoilin 6E
[10:35:15] <source> over the phone
[10:35:23] <source> allies chart is in for sure, a matrix
[10:40:13] <source> you need 1 HQ 2 Troop of your own army
[10:40:26] <source> then you can ally, need 1 HQ 1 Troop of that army
[10:40:31] <source> then may take other slots
[10:45:49] <source> it's still move shoot assault
[10:46:01] <source> "snapshop" = stand and shoot for an assaulted unit
[10:46:20] <source> BS1
[10:46:58] <source> no template or blast
[10:47:32] <source> someone gimme a BoLS link so I can confirm/deny ****
[10:48:04] <source> "schools of psychic powers"
[10:48:11] <source> not sure if its random though
[10:50:44] <source> these psychic powers are IN ADDITION to your codex powers
[10:51:11] <source> so you don't lose any of the powers in a current codex
[10:52:25] <source> premeasure all the time
[10:52:40] <source> random charges 2d6 for foot, 3d6 drop lowest for jump pack troops
[10:53:05] <source> jump pack troops get "hammer of wrath" = impact hits, 1 A @ I 10, normwal weapon normal attack
[10:53:35] <source> for jump packs, not sure about wings, maybe
[10:53:41] <source> he only got to look at the book for an hour
[10:53:46] <source> to "pick topics for customers"
[11:00:13] <source> 6 missions, and 3 deployment zones
[11:00:23] <source> primary and 3 secondary objectives
[11:00:28] <source> vps for objectives
[11:01:02] <source> "first blood" = 2nd objective
[11:01:09] <source> worth 1 vp
[11:01:37] <source> any questions chip?
[11:01:42] <source> I got him for like 10 mins more maybe ;p

[11:02:41] <source> one is like triangles
[11:02:44] <source> cleanse 2?
[11:04:20] <source> short edge to short edge deployment type
[11:05:13] <chip> Can you get info about different CCW AP values
[11:05:20] <source> he didn't look at that
[11:05:26] <source> I did ask, there is somethin about CCWs
[11:05:37] <source> power weapon is AP2
[11:06:35] <chip> You sure about that? Pretty confident people said AP3
[11:07:45] <source> there is a hull point systemm, damage chart changed
[11:08:03] <source> 1-2 shaked 3 = stuned 4 = weapon destroyed 5 = wrecked 6 = kablam
[11:08:25] <source> he didnt seen an immobile on the chart
[11:08:42] <source> he just "Saw that it said AP2, not sure what it was about"
[11:10:05] <source> terrain is a part of the FoC
[11:10:13] <source> aegis defense line 50pts
[11:10:27] <source> cover is 5+
[11:12:42] <source> "fortifcation FOC slot"
[11:13:09] <source> 1 per game
[11:15:57] <source> err sorry 1 per player per game
[11:16:25] <source> rapid fire is half range not 12"
[11:17:51] <source> rapid fire isnt limited by movement
[11:17:52] <chip> but aren't rapid fire guns 24"
[11:17:55] <chip> so half range is 12"
[11:18:09] <source> snapshot is also for HWs that have moved
[11:18:52] <chip> wait, so you can fire a krak missile as a snapshot?
[11:19:06] <source> yes
[11:19:10] <source> BS1
[11:19:22] <source> heavy bolter that moves = 3 shots at BS1
[10:35:13] <source> so GW is spoilin 6E

The psy-table is very interesting but wait... take a look to the "battelfield objective" description... "mysterious objectives" .... crap XD
Mysterious terrain is the one set of rules we don't user for Fantasy Battle. Almost universally hated. Makes going into cover too risky, so people don't do it. Plus the table has far too few "they are just trees" results. Will be interesting to see if 40k goes the same. May mean custom force fields and venomthropes are even more useful if the rest of the board terrain is suspect.
Interesting on the rapid fire 1/2 distance. I guess the Tau will have a 3" advantage for x2 fire (max. distance on pulse rifles 30", so half is 15" as opposed to 24" to 12").
Maybe my shooty army isn't getting completely crucified after all!

EXCITED!
Oooohhhhhhh can't wait for this.
So, Since everything is released in England first, we'll actually be able to pre-order it from within stores at 5:00pm today rather than tomorrow.
I love 8 hour time differences!
