Genestealers have been a Tyranid favorite for years, and one that I hope to see lots of on the tabletops soon. There are some rules that have been gathered for the upcoming Tyranid codex, and these bits seem to have been missed regarding Genestealers and Ripper Swarms.
Please remember that these are considered to be rumors until we get the codex in hand.

Hello Nafka, saw the Tyranid rumors posted up and noted it's missing one.
A chap at my FLGS was trying to make out some of the small images of the Tyranid Codex pages printed in this month's White Dwarf. Among them was a points increase for Ripper Swarms (at 39pts a piece, making them 9pts more expensive than previous), but what I remember most strongly from yesterday was the changes made to Genestealers.
Long story short, the 'Stealers have lost their ability to Outflank, but have Infiltrate instead (as they used to do before 4th Edition), keep their Fleet and (my memory is a little sketchy on this last one, so take with salt) can be upgraded to Mastery Level 1 for an undetermined amount of points (my best guess is that this is used to represent the Broodlord/Patriarch).
