A lot of changes are coming, and one of the bigger changes is the addition of the new Psychic Phase in 40k. This little bit of information comes from several places, but was put together by one person and sent in.
Please remember that these are rumors

Troops from the Primary detachment have the 'Objective Secured' Rule from the Skyswarm formation, but is only if you are using a Force Org Chart. Also, if using a FOC then you may reroll your warlord trait (on the same table though.)
Psychic Phase
D6 + Mastery Levels of all of your psykers = warp pool (or whatever its called) and you draw dice from this pool to cast (once used they cant be used again that turn.)
Powers are cast on the amount of successes, so warp charge 2 would require 2 successes, warp charge 4 requires 4 successes.
A success is a D6 roll of a 4+
There may be a limit of how many dice you can throw at a spell (Mastery Level +1 etc)
Double 6 or Double 1 is still a perils (unsure if you can get two perils per casting)

Apparently casting powers goes something like this.
I get d6 + 1 per mastery level in my army. So a farseer and Eldrad would generate a total of d6+7 for the whole army.
Then I cast a power. I get to use a maximum of my mastery level + 1 die to cast. So Eldrad can use up to 5 dice per power.
For it to be successful, you need a roll of a 4+ for every mastery level in the power. Fortune is mastery 2, so to cast you would need two 4+ rolls.
This would make powers harder to cast on average. I don't know how psychic defence works but I presume it's only against powers that target your own models, unlike fantasy. Would be rather hard to get anything through otherwise.
