Yay! The psychic phase is back.  As well as player objectives.  Two things that have been missing for too long.

The psychic phase is extremely similar to the Fantasy magic phase, it will definitely add another layer of strategy to the game. Cool to see more disciples got added and fleshed out.

If players can dispel all psychic powers(which it looks like they will be able to) instead of just witchfire types, then I can see a drastic reduction in divination effectiveness and 2++ rerollable saves.

Also hope they make Pyromancy a lot better, and Daemonology sounds really cool too.

Not sure how I feel about this... It seems as though an army with no Psykers (Necrons) will be at a distinct disadvantage with no way to deny the witch.

I wasn't around for 2nd ed, but I'm glad they readded the "magic" phase.. I really enjoy that aspect in Fantasy. Nothing beats butchering wizards in the 41st millennium  ;D

Second edition was horrible, whoever had the biggest badest character won.  So I hope that all the similarities  to second edition are loose at best.

I'm hoping:

The Psychic Phase isn't as devastating as the Magic Phase in WHFB.

The Str D is somehow different if it's included in the game at all values.

That allies aren't totally out of control in "Battle-hardened" games.

That this new rulebook is cool enough to make people want to play the game for fun and competitively again.

I think we can safety say that the Shooting Phase in 40k is 1000x times more devastating then in WHFB, so a strong Psychic Phase might be very helpful for armies with limited shooting. Also powers can be dispelled, shooting can't. Allies being out of control is related to current psychic rules. Either way we'll know in a few weeks

This is not sounding "6.5-ish" at all. Just that force org change alone will completely alter the way armies are built... and adding a whole new phase?   This ain't a minor update.  Even the 5th-6th transition did not change either the phases or the force org.
