Most of these rumors are for the upcoming Chapter Approved book coming which oddly enough someone said December 15th for release. (thats cutting into Christmas for those waiting on it to buy stuff). Anyhow, also included in here are some Sisters of Battle bits, a release date for a Genestealer Cults codex and more.
These are all rumors.... Please give them a ton of salt. Ive tried to cut out the wilder of them or commentary.
Misc. bits I could not confirm where they are from
the GSC codex should be released the last week of January.

Cannot confirm source, so take it for what you will.
Intercessor down 1 (18pts > 17pts)
Repulsor 185 (210pts > 185pts)
Primaris captain 78 (91pts > 78pts)
Captain in gravis 90 (134pts > 90pts)
Twin las to 40 (50pts > 40pts)
Land raider to 200 (239pts > 200pts)
Be'Lakor 240
Terminators 23 (40pts > 23pts)
Drop Pod 63 (83pts > 63pts)
Also storm shields dropping in price (no numbers yet).
via French Wargame Studio video
Listening to French Wargame Studio latest video (in French obviously), they dropped some info (sorry if those are known already).
They'll get Stratagems, Act of Faith (not as good as before but still useful, one example cited was no more double movement, but instead a +3" movement instead) and Chapter Traits.
It was also stated that Acts of Faith will have it's own pool of points/powers (determined by number of units/models) and you can use them as you please using that pool.
Also one Stratagem was hinted that some models/units can use their Flamers when they get deployed (from deepstrike I'd assume). No extra range but just allow them to flame their target on the way down or something.
Overall it seems that all the possible synergy will make them fun to play with and could make tracking down the metal models to just play them for the year waiting for the Codex worth it.

cultists are going to 5 points
point reductions on greater daemons are coming.
Tzaangors possibly bumped up from 7 to 8 points.
90pt 5-man Rubrics
26pt Grey Knight Terminators
Rites of Banishment is being removed for Grey Knights, gaining Smite
Cultists up from 4 to 5 points
Scarab Occult Terminators getting a points cut from 33 per model to 26 per model
Points reduction for Land Raiders confirmed - the Chaos factions will get a similar decrease in points for their Land Raiders like their Imperial counterparts. So Deathwatch and Thousand Sons will get a points cut for their Land Raiders as well.
For Tzeentch and Daemon allies, all the Greater Daemons will be getting points reduction from anywhere between 75 and 100 points. That would mean your Lord of Change would cost 230-255 points as opposed to 330 points right now, which is a huge buff
warpflamers getting a point reduction
Adeptus Mechanicus will be getting a points reduction almost across the board.
Imperial Knights will largely remain untouched, except for the Castellan getting a slight points increase.
Nothing on Imperial Guard. There are a lot of people claiming that Guardsmen will be nerfed from 4 to 5 points per model
Deathwatch, apparently Primaris Intercessors will see their points cut by 1. Just 1. No information on the others.
