Only about half of all armies got updated for 6th. For those of us not liking 7th, do you think the codexes being released this year (Orks, Blood Angels, Space Wolves, DEldar and either GK or Crons early next year) will be backwards compatible for those of us who would like to stick with 6th and not step into the craziness that is 7th?

E.g. just ignoring a couple of the new mechanisms like Faction or Daemonology, will points costs, unit balance etc. largely still be playable in 6th?

I would think so, as 7th's biggest changes really is mostly FoC related as well as the psychic phase, and we already have got codices for the psychic races (Eldar, Chaos, Marines)

from what I heard from gw employees current codexes are compatible
