In my opinion, it will become useful to have:
Sanguinary Guard as Troops
Tactical Squads in a BA army (I kid you not!)
Full Ravenwing Support Squadrons
Heavy Flamer Terminators
I really hope for a DC army to become viable
And, for a Xenos race... Harlies...

How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb?
-- Fifty-Four -- Eight to argue, one to get a continuance, one to object, one to demur, two to research precedents, one to dictate a letter, one to stipulate, five to turn in their time cards, one to depose, one to write interrogatories, two to settle, one to order a secretary to change the bulb, and twenty eight to bill for professional services.

Tactical Squads in a BA army (I kid you not!)
I laugh when I remember that a full tactical squad in a rhino vs full assaults in a rhino are more expensive than the assault squad.

Up to 12 Strength 5 shots at a range of 30 inches and still able to move? 24 shots if they stay still? On a basic troop choice? Insanity!
If this becomes true, the IG platoon will become one of the most feared units in all of 40k. FRFSRF would make any infantry within 24 inches of them pretty much toast

For Space Marines: Bikes, Assault Marines and Devastators.
For 'Nids: Spore Mines go back to 4th edition with the 3 different types, than Biovores become more than just anti-infantry again and Monsterous Creatures get cheaper and have a shot at making it to the fight again.
Oh and the Lictor...2 reasons 1: Finecrap (GW wants money)
2. People have wanted Lictors to be good for so long now and they just haven't been,
