As said, nothing special on the Eldar side.

Eldrad – same

Here’s What We Know About The New Deathwatch:

Plus the book holds 15 new datasheets, what looks to be seven new formations, what may be two detachments / formations, and the Black Spear Strike Force.

Judging by the position of the Black Spear Strike force that may be a Decurion style detachment that’s similar to both the Lion’s Blade and Gladius Strike Forces as well.
