With 6th edition just invalidating all the work we've done, you can expect more work! However, codex reviews won't be coming out immediately as we want to ensure quality advice. Keep your eyes peeled and leave suggestions for armies you'd like done first though it will more than likely be done based on author preferences. Below are all the Warhammer 40,000 reviews done to date by their respective authors in alphabetical order by codex.

Also, the 5th edition reviews have been archived at the bottom of the page. Their information isn't useless, though you need to know 6th edition to transfer the knowledge there, so if you're looking for something to kill the time in the meantime, knock yourself out!
