Question:  More Deathwatch! Are we gonna see Deathwatch Scouts? Kill Marines? Dreadnoughts?
What secrets do you still guard, Sad Panda! How bad is my wallet going to hurt for Deathwatch?!

Reply: It’s not gonna bit a huge release, but enough. There’s a pretty cool, very sleek dropship/flyer with an enormous Inquisition =I= as fuselage. Probably builds more than one variant.

28mm Capt. Artemis is also a go, probably a single character clam pack.

This morning, BoLS reported the following:

The Codex Layout and Rules:

  • This is a very different layout and organization than the traditional Codex: Space Marines.
  • The codex will contain a very small number of units and many characters.
  • Every Character from Deathwatch Overkill is included.
  • There will be a HQ choice.
  • There will be 1-2 Troops unit choices.
  • 3-5 Formations.
  • Drop Pods are the only vehicles described in the codex.
  • The big theme of the codex is customization. While the number of units is very small, there are lavish and exhaustive upgrade options for each and every model in the army. Things such as wargear, weapons, and even originating chapters all can be picked and have in-game effects.
  • It is quite possible to sink giant amount of points into a very small amount of models if you wish.

Previously BoLS is reported the following:

New minis accompanying the codex:

  • A New Terminator HQ model, with full Deathwatch Iconography throughout his armor and is armed for assault.
  • A New Deathwatch accessory sprue – that will work with the existing Space Marine range.
  • This is in same vein as the previous Blood Angel, Space Wolves, etc… add-on frames
  • Deathwatch iconography pauldrons for both PA and Termys.
  • Deathwatch bolters, assault weapons and wargear.

WHAT: Codex Deathwatch is coming

WHEN: Look for the new codex in late Summer (August-September 2016 timeframe)

HOW: Look for the codex to NOT be a modified version of the Space Marine codex.  It will be a very different animal, representing the unique hard hitting but small forces of the Deathwatch.  There will be both existing minis and new unseen kits coming with the release.

It this the return of the Movie Marines? Will Ordo Xenos be on the way soon? Why do these rumors seem to conflict now?

Looks like we may have a little while longer to wait, just remember your salt on all of these folks!
