So I picked up the hardcover 5th edition book a couple of days ago and have been reading some of the fluff. there are a few good bits in there, but some armies certainly get a lot more attention than others (space marines and guard, obviously).
One of the things I find interesting is the timeline they put in. It has some cool background ideas for personal fluff or campaigns. But what really hit me was this:
986999.M41 - Tech Priests discover failures in the mechanisms of the Golden Throne that are beyond their ability to repair.
Is the Emperor dying? (Well he was before, now it's just happening a lot faster) What could this mean for the Imperium? Or the army books for Space Marines and Imperial Guard? Things could get very interesting in the future.

I don't know much about eldar, unfortunately, so I'm not sure what's changed or been "uncovered"

So I was totally expecting Dark Eldar to get no mention in the 5th Ed. book, but other than a few model pics, Daemon hunters and sisters of battle are no where to be seen! There is a timeline that happens to mention them in a few 2 sentence passages, but that's about it... I have not read all the imperial fluff yet though, they just don't have an army section.
