Up for Pre-Orders today is a new Codex Dataslate for 40k, the Tyrannic War Veterans. This is a new dataslate obviously for Space Marines, and more specifically the Ultramarines. Of course there is one more dataslate still on the list for January, Tyranids Vanguard, but for now the pre-orders for that are up.
I am glad that this formation is coming, as it was very much in the background in the Space Marine codex, and something that some people would love to hit the tabletop with.
Here is a quick look at the codex dataslate, Tyrannic War Veterans.

Description
The Tyrannic War Veterans are a legendary Space Marines formation. They are a specialist strike force led by Chaplain Ortan Cassius, the Ultramarines’ Master of Sanctity. The Tyrannic War Veterans were forged out of an infamous event in the Ultramarines’ history known as the First Tyrannic War. Comprised of hardened veterans, each of whom is highly skilled in warfare against Tyranids, their powerful, disciplined strikes against numerous hive fleets have saved many worlds from destruction, often in the face of impossible odds.
