£65 for the subscription so I'd expect some data slates or similar for that price. Would have made more sense if they told you what the free novel was upfront to make it easier to decide if it was worth getting the subscription.

The What's New Today on GW's site says there will be dataslates, new missions, and painting guides. The Black Library site seems to suggest just fiction...

Seems like there will indeed be rules and stuff. There is an Advent Calendar for BOTH Black Library and GW digital - it seems they are separate. First up - End Times spells [ebook version].

As can be seen here - for the next few days we can expect:
Something....
1. Warhammer Fantasy

So tomorrow it looks like a Dark Angel dataslate (Or Warlord of the Dark Millennium article) and a Brazen Claws BL story piece. (Thought it was the Emperor's Children Legion symbol initially).
It'll be interesting to see if there is any overlap between the two as the current status of the Brazen Claws looks to be unknown and I wouldn't put it past the Dark Angels to kill a fellow chapter if they ever found out the truth.

Does anyone recall if the advent calendar last year had any correspondence with the normal release schedule? Could we use this to help divine what else is coming out, or is there no correlation?

http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/unrelenting-hunt-ebook.html
The Unrelenting Hunt contains new background and rules for the Strikeforce of Company Master Balthasar of the Dark Angels. This Dataslate is designed to be used alongside the Dark Angels miniatures included in the Dark Vengeance boxset, with a few additions in the form of more Terminators, bikers and the formidable air support of a Ravenwing flyer.
Please note, a copy of Codex: Dark Angels is required in order to use this formation.
http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/cold-roads-ebook.html
THE STORY
The Brazen Claws’ long penitent crusade in the Eye of Terror saw them face all manner of foes, both mortal and daemonic. As the crew of the Cold Roads battle the servants of Slaanesh, Techmarine Llir is forced to make a decision that could save the crew of the beleaguered vessel… or damn them all.
READ IT BECAUSE
Any tale set in the Eye of Terror is sure to be full of sanity-bending twists and revelations, and Cold Roads is no exception. This Quick Read gives an insight into the horror faced by one particular band of haunted crusaders.

Most likely not.
Seems to be just DV + DV Exp Formation. And since those two are pretty bad in itself the formation won't cut it.
But, hell, it's our first Dataslate!
Confirmed.
It's the units from DV and DV Exp as a Formation.
Gives everyone Hatred (CSM) and relentless.
Reroll failed charges and autopass all LD tests in 12".
So, unless you're a new beginner (which DV is aimed at) this "dataslate" does nothing at all. Barely a page of "fluff" to boot. Save your money.

Erm how is relentless not a great skill. For tacticals it is one of the best things to have. The ability to move and fire blast weapons is SO brilliant, and also assault with it. Also rapid fire all the the time. As i almost have everything from that, it might tempt me enough to get it.

The problem is that they're the only squad in formation to benefit from it. Everything else is on a bike or in TDA, so already has it.
