I think it is going to depend on what the Genestealer Cultists get in terms of model releases.
This is all wild, unfounded speculation on my part but I'm thinking we'll see the following:
-Box for the "Brutes" with Hammers and/or Picks
-Box for the standard Cultists with Autorifles and options for the Grenade Launchers or Mining Lasers
-A standalone box release of JUST the Overkill contents labeled with the name of the formation, like Kill Team Cassius.
-Some new blister characters/options.

This sounds like a very safe assumption.

You don't think there will be a three-armed Hybrid box? Just an autogun box? That would be a shame.
If they don't at least get a vehicule, it would be a real shame. And I hope for proper multikit boxes of cultist (1-2 and 3-4) and aberrants. I don't want an army of monoposed clones

I wonder if we might see some vehicle releases similar to the Deathwatch and Blood Angels stuff - i.e. some IG/AM vehicles with a "Cult Upgrade Sprue" that includes Hybrid vehicle crew and some cult icons. That would be awesome.
I think the Chimera and/or Taurox and the Hydra/Wyvern and Manticore/Deathstrike launcher would be the most likely, as they would probably want a transport or two, and the multi-kits would allow more vehicles to be included in the Codex per SKU.

While I concur that a multi-part Hybrid box (or two) would be great, you can get at least a little variety out of most of the Hybrid models with some careful chest swaps and weapon swaps. It isn't much, but it helps a little.
As far as a Cult specific vehicle, I think the most likely candidate would be something like a transport/gun truck option (like a more civilian version of the Taurox, which can either be a transport, or given a heavier gun while sacrificing some/all of the transport capacity.)

I wonder if BoLS is tooting their own horn from having the GSC rumour the other day. Now this shows up.
Now will be interesting to see how correct they were. I still can't believe that GSC would get a flyer though. Especially miners. Why would miners have a flyer?
So this means what a pre release this or next weekend and a release next weekend or 2 weeks from now?

I hope that there is more to this than just the basic infantry, command, elites and genestealers, and that there some civilian/mining type equipment/vehicles. I would be disappointed if it was relatively thin and just left to allying with Guard for vehicles.

Out of the things listed, the Chimera is the most likely. I don't see them getting anything "big"--especially not the Basilisk as that box is so damn old and has been Direct Only for quite some time.

I would guess almost certainly yes. They have already released the marine side of the box as a new box.

The basilisk box got re-factored with the last Chimera update didn't it? I guess that is a long time ago now.

Betrayal at Calth has had all of its components released but is still available. Same with Execution Force.

The Basilisk box got re-factored with the last Chimera update but it is only relatively recently(a year or two ago) that it actually started including the new Chimera frames!
Right now, buying the Basilisk is a great way to get a Basilisk and a vehicle accessory frame for IG as no other box includes it and the Basilisk box has to include it so that you can have a hull mounted Heavy Flamer. The new Chimera frame which includes the hull mounted weapons is the same part that includes the upper hull and the like and is not included with the Basilisk.

I don't think the game will go OOP. It's an actual board game. And the marine half is already less than half the cost of the box so the value isn't huge there. Unless they price the GC crazy (which is possible but doesn't feel likely) the game box won't be much of a "deal" unless you want both forces OR the actual board game.

Please, please don't just be a reboxing of the monopose minis from DWO. I'm hopeful, but not all that hopeful. GW putting effort into xenos, that'd be the day..

The DWO models repackaged with some new releases of characters/units and maybe upgrade kits for vehicles would be neat.
