Banshee's remain unpainted, unused and unloved in 6th. Not a giant Ward fan, but I guess we'll have to hope he makes the Biel'tan suplement as well so that they gain something that makes them useful. Till then they are just the poor cousins of quins and scorpions.
However, Scorpions are bananas now. I6 ap2 S8 claw? Yes please. If Kandras remains the beat stick he was in the last codex, I see this unit finding a home in some lists.
S7. Multiply before addition.
Actually S6. different weapons = choose one profile. You'd get an extra attack though, the claw not being a specialist weapon.
Could still be S7, if the Exarch takes Crushing Blow.

Shining Spears just got very nasty as well with their boosted numbers. Warp Spiders are going to be all kinds of nasty for high T low I units in general (Tau Suits, Nid MC's, etc).
I thought battle focus specifically stated "Run". Does it also state Turbo Boosting?
It does specifically say run, and not turbo boost, so someone is going to have to check the rules a third time.
it says run not move. It also says models that can not run gain no bonus from battle focus. it doesn't do anything for bikes other than saying they have battle focus for the purpose of 100% of the unit having it in a mixed bike/infantry unit.
Bikes moving 12", turbo boosting 36", and shooting at a target that was 60" away before jumping 2d6 back in the assault phase would be a bibip
Warp spiders are brutal, but balanced out by the fact that they are an expensive t3 unit.

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but refuse. They cling to the realm, or love, or the gods…illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is, but they’ll never know this. Not until it’s too late.

As I play Eldar while my Zoats and my Squats gather dust, this made me both laugh and cry.

I have though that since it was released as a photo that the Wraithknight makes a perfect modernized Fire Gale Knight, which is the first knight pictured. It's too bad that the old GW would have named it the Fire Gale for an obvious link to Epic 40K, while the "new" GW just throws a naming trend to everything in a force (Blood, Dark, Wraith, etc).

Wait, there's a Dark BloodWraith? Where can I get one?????? 
And yes, the new model is obviously a Fire Gale with an updated weapons loadout.

I'm hoping for something like this:
Then my scratchbuilt haemonculi monster can have legitimate rules!
