I really haven't had any problems with SW since the new GK codex came out. Maybe other armies have bigger problem with them.

I definitely think the old SW lists of 12 Rhino hulls and 2 meltas with 3 Long Fangs are not as powerful. I'm sure SW has a build for 6th Edition, but it won't resemble what we saw in 5th.

That really isn't the issue, its how the army performs as a whole against the field. 

Then again maybe its just because you play hero-hammer.

I gather that Grey Hunters are pretty annoying to 'stealers, because of counter-attack.  Nit I dunno, I only have 2 armies, and tau don't care how many attacks you have. 

I don't always use Draigo, btw.

Non paladin lists probably have more trouble dealing with SW.

Genestealers are a dead entry now.  They literally don't factor into anything anymore.

Tau care how many attack your have, esp now that it is a lot easier to punch tanks dead.

Really?  Broodlord powers don't do it for you?

And naw, Tau really don't care how killy you are.  They only care how fast you move versus how fast you die to guns.  You could draw a graph.

Genestealers are too frail now.  You have to invest in making huge units to get anything done.  It gets pretty cost prohibitive.  The Broodlord costs the same as 3 genestealers.  I could spend the same amount and get a tervigon.
