A lot of you have been asking for a 6th ed Video Bat Rep and we’re working on it now. We’d get to it sooner, but the team is out in the field today. So stay tuned for a high quality Video Bat Rep showing the new rules in action on Monday!
We’re thinking about using Nids, Eldar, Daemons or Basic Space Marines as they all got huge boosts under these rules.
What do you all think?

It should be an army currently underpowered vs an army currently overpowered in order to see if the new rules move them closer together. Bugs vs. Space wolves?
I agree it would be interesting to see some armies that in 5th are considered overpowered (Wolves/GK) vs. armies that are appear to receive a notable boost from these new rules (Daemons/Nids). I think it would be especially interesting to see the sort of lists you guys would use for SW/GKs, whether you feel it necessary to take a new approach in order for them to compete at the highest level.
Tau seems kind of irrelevant since by the time we see 6th they’ll be using a new book?
I’d also love to see a game involving Blood Angels, to see if some of the rules changes will be able to give them that push back up to “tier 1”.

bugs vs ba with death company?
Tau vs. Grey Knights or Eldar vs. Space Wolves. I hope this is the first of many to come 🙂
please use nids I’ve been dying to see what they can do with the new rules
I am thinking Nids, too! I want to try mu bugs out under these new rules.
Blood Angels may be a good choice, too, as they benefit from a lot of the new rules.
Blood Angels verses Nids would be awesome!
Nids VS Wolves
It sounds like Nids vs Either Wolves or BA is the popular choice.
You could even use the ‘Eye of the Storm’ mission from the back and play out a 3 way fight. Have Nids v BA v SW

well, Ba was meant to be written ,at least in part, with 6th in mind.
heck though, so many things we all want to see played out.. squueee:)
Nids vs. Eldar.
Necrons vs grey knights (two armies that seem to be built with the new edition in mind)
CSM vs anything! I wan’t to see some one who knows what they are doing with CSM (which is not me) playunder 6th.
Tau V.S. something. I want to see Rail weapons in action.
Fatecrusher vs anything
The vote was close, but it came down to Crons vs. Nids!
