Looks like GW is releasing videos highlighting new features of the upcoming rulebook. Today this was posted discussing superficially the addition of allies and fliers. Very little new information is mentioned but fliers crashing to the ground sounds amusing.

Death Guard WIP
My test model for a Death Guard Terminator. I originally wanted to do a marble white like the pre-heresy Death Guard. I am not a fan of the green color scheme. But the marble white was not looking good to me and I ended up reworking this guy and a couple others like him several times before settling on a rotting flesh color for the armor with green starting to crack through.

More Thought on E-Codices
I've seen a lot of complaints about the price of the e-book versions of book, specifically the Space Marine Codex. This strikes me as typical internet outrage and not to be taken seriously but after a bit of thought I came up with an addition to make it more worthwhile.
Games Workshop has already added a bit of content to these books for the ap store version. They have successfully turned the paper book into an interactive application. But there is a function this ap can add that would knock it out of the ballpark in my mind.
That would be to add an Army-Builder style tool to the ap. Something that would allow me as I flip through the codex to build my army. It would become everything I need in one ap, provided it also saved as a nice .pdf style sheet. They'd basically have to life most all of Army-Builder's functionality, but I don't think taking ideas from other people has ever stopped GW.
What do you think, would that make the price more palatable for you?

GW finally releasing E-Book Rules and Supplements
Games Workshop announced today (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/wnt/blog.jsp?pid=2600122-gws) they were going to take the great leap forward into the mid 2000's of technology and release rules and supplements as E-Books readable on iBooks.
Despite the sarcastic nature of the above paragraph this is actually something exciting and good GW is doing for itself. Digital versions of their rules and supplements I think make a good addition for its technology savvy users. A number of people, myself included, have used PDF versions of army lists made from Army Builder on mobile devices.
I don't see it as a permanent replacement of paper codices and books but it does make it possible to keep a lot of reference material in one small reference. As long as the batteries last.
