So I luckily advanced ordered the gaming edition of 6th. Here is what I got (its pretty nifty):
Usually, with the gamers editions, you get some type of bag to carry everything in. Here it is:
The bag is actually really nice. Its pleather but its soft and thick. This will definetily hold up for a while. The strap is canvas webbing with an adujstable buckle. The flap, as you can see, is held in place by a wooden toggle.
When opened, there are three small compartments for dice (the boxes fit perfectly, the Psyker card set does not). There are also two sleeves in the main compartment, one for the big rule book, and the other for codexes, papers, and other stuff. When carried, its just like a messenger bag and is actually comfortable.
The bag also comes with two pins to put on the front to show your allegiance to the Imperium or the Dark Gods. The pins are made of pewter and have some heft to them. They actually are pins so you could use them on the bag or wear them by themselves. A really good addition.
Also included is a special edition of the dice which are red in color. They come in lasgun battery pack which is a nice touch.
The dice set also has six servo-skull markers to use for objectives or any labels you might forget to mark in the game. All of the dice and markers fit in the tin. The lid is a little wobbley as its made of plasic and is designed to slide into a small groove in the tin. The tin could be spread from the top so that the lid could slip out of the track and come off. It hasn't happened yet, but I'm sure it will. All in all, its not a bad design and holds a lot.

This is one of the better gaming sets that GW has put out for their rulebooks in awhile. The bag is sturdy and you could use it for other things. The bag has the total look of 40K but not so much that you get weird looks when you are out in public. The materials are great and look like they could stand up to a lot of abuse. It is new so only time will tell.
