As Quoted from Warseer

General info

Release is February 2010, after Tyranids, with advance orders starting January 4th.

Was to be written by Andy Hoare, but he has since quit Games Workshop.

Rules

Army-wide Special Rules and Magic Items

Ambush is supposedly staying much the same, though it has been suggested that it will no longer be dependant on the General.

No news on Unruly.

Alongside Magic Items, "Mutations" will be available in the same way as WoC Gifts or Vampire Powers, operating on the same budgetary lines. Bonuses, like Scaly Skin, extra Strength and Movement are expected, as well as more esoteric abilities like Breath Weapons. Multiples of the same Mutation are expected to be allowed.

Marks are no longer limited throughout the army. No news on their exact rules, though they are assumed to be similar to, if not the same as, the WoC marks.

*Note, army-list slots are representative only until more solid rumours appear*
