Their stats are staying pretty much the same, the main differences seem to come in the way of weapons. With the option for a grenade launcher and the pistol gets stronger with more shots. Other than that, it looks pretty similar, but we’ll have to see if they still get the extra attack in combat.

Again, the stats are basically identical, and guess what else is? All the weapons! We’ll have to see what kind of special rules they get, but right now, it’s looking basically the same.
