I currently have it downloaded on my laptop. pretty interesting read so far.

I have a copy that I can download to anyone if they didn't get it. It really is interesting. Is it real? I dunno, but the same thing happened when 5th was coming out and most of those changes ended up being legit. So I guess we'll just see.

I am certainly a fan of most (if not all) of the changes made. Some things need to be reworded a little, but I'll chaulk that up to it being a beta-esq document. The only real reservation I have is that it feels like a totally new game rather than an update. Maybe that was the intention... I dunno.

In any case, if anyone feels fancy and wants to try to play test, I'm game for it.

I have read about half of it so far, and I agree with the sentiments above. It is a massive change, but what I've been able to wrap my head around looks pretty good. One thing that stands out is that wound allocation groups are solely by armor save now. So no more wound allocation shenanigans with Ork nob bikers, Tau crisis suits, and Daemon bloodcrushers like The Chester.

Mike found this over at Beasts of War and posted it up on the Battle Barn blog. Give it a read here http://battlebarn.blogspot.com/2012/01/bow-debuncts-6th-edition-rulebooksort.html and while you're there check out the blog and become a member!
