1) "Genericizing" of units (aspects, lesser daemons, etc)

2) Close combat is starting to sound shaky, just from the descriptions that
have leaked out.

3) Personally, I have a complete lack of faith in GWs ability to create a
system using the concept of fire suppression.

Also, I anticipate many rules ambiguities. This primarily results ffrom a
lack of rules organization on GW's part and a colossal lack of playtesting.
I know they can't be hurting for playtesters who would work for free, so
that means they are stupid (not likely, though possible), lazy (slim chance
here, also), too paranoid/greedy to let anyone see stuff before it's ready
for release (good chance here, though I'm sure the lawyers could whip up a
non-disclosure contract for the players), or they simply have no concept of
how to organize wargame rules (the best bet for my money). Of course, it
could be more than one of the above.
