I swiped this from another board I keep an eye on. The originator, apparently, has been pretty spot on with his info regarding releases. If its true, then I am one happy chap:

* New GK Terminators 3ups (5 poses, 1 HQ/leader) * New Daemonhunter/Witchhunter concept art * New DH/WH vehicles/support * New Ork dreads * New Marine models for a specific chapter * New SM concept art * New DE models (these are sweet, and I'm not a DE lover) * New DE concept art * New Guard tanks/artillery * New Necron MC sized model * New Necron concept art * New Ork vehicles * New 40k concept art and 3ups tied to a future Codex release * A lot of the Missions book tie in releases
Obviously a lot of this just strengthens rumors that are already out there. And some of it looks very rough, as in 3ups with lots of notes for changes.
I'm struggling to hold back and just dump specifics. There is one model in particular I want to talk about, but am unable, but you all will find that out soon anyhow, it's part of the Missions release, so news will spill out in due course.

Also looks like there will be another Mystery Box style campaign later this year. But I honestly don't know what it will be...I asked about Warhammer Quest, and was told specifically that license is with someone else now. (hopefully FFG) So yall's guess is as good as mine.

But more to give a flavor of what is in the pike.
I'll be able to comment more as the process goes on and we hear some of the play test results for rules, box art, etc. As with SW and Nids, I am really out of the loop by the time rules are finalized, but a lot of what I get to see does make it thru.
As far as DE, I am reasonably certain a DE release is on the horizon based on what I know. But I also know there are unresolved issues from a business standpoint, so I'd say 50% max chance to see DE in 2010, greater chance in 2011. From an art/model standpoint, the DE are an "evolution" from past incarnations. Some are downright "evil" looking.
As far as inquisition, I've only seen GK. And I think these are great looking models, they retain the individualism. The details are all there. Certain "options" were shown. Discussions around expanded chapter organization were had. I think GK players will be happy once these are released.
As far as the model I was specifically forbade from revealing. Anything more I could say would be too much. But it's killing me not to.
One thing I saw again was the Webway terrain. It definitely looks like a test plastic pull, but I couldnt get hands on it to really review. The scratchbuilt Nid terrain was also on display.
