I like the idea of no tank armies. I have always been partial to tons of infantry anyway.

Great tactic. Look like you buy all these transports and tanks and oh wait they are bad now. Looks like you need to spead more money on dudes.

 To be honest the only reason i went for IG is for the tanks.

I don't think you'll ever be able to beat a couple of lumbering Leman Russ tanks. I plan to use them anyway. Infantry always need a bit of support.

Lamenters are moving slowly. Depending on how much phsysicizing and mathematicology I have to do, I should be on time or a little late. These vehicles are killing me. So much Iyanden Darksun!

Transports are still worth it. The main job is to add an extra layer of defense and mobility to your troops. Which they still do. They may have been nerfed, but they remain viable as always. Besides chimeras are the mainstay of imperial guard lists to begin with so you will stay fine. Your other common tanks didn't lose much either. Honestly nothing did, gw just made you rethink your investment into a transport/tank. Overall 6th edition will be the same for most armies and even make them better, the army rankings will not change at all.
