Yesterday we had another fake image that apparently originated from 4chan, dealing with the Tyranid Vanguard dataslate, which will be released later this month. It was emailed in to me from Stickmonkey, who had found the image. Since it was nothing new, and was an apocalypse formation, there was nothing in it of real value.
So moving away from that, Stickmonkey did do some digging through his contacts to see if he could come up with some information on what the new dataslate include.
So thanks for the extra digging, and I hope that something like these will come. I would love to see Tyranids be the big boy on the block again.
Please remember that these are rumors, and right now there has been an unusual number of faulty rumors flowing.

Sorry that is the image from the apoc book. I hadnt even removed the shrink wrap from mine so did not realize.
Anyway I asked my sources. Word is they believe the data slate will contain 3 of the apoc formations for use in 40k, the vanguard infestation, subterranean swarm, and endless swarm. But with some slight rules changes away from apoc specific devices: for instance "without number" on the data slate supposedly changes to allow a single unit from the formation to reenter play on a roll of 5+ during the reserves sub phase.
