Just a quick post thought I'd spare you the trip (although it is an excelletn website)

Apparently the special characters are as follows:

Calgar -Ultramarines Master
Tigurius - Ultramarines Chief Librarian
Cassius - Ultramarines Master Of Sanctity
Sicarius - Ultramarines Captain
Shrike - Raven Guard Captain
Lysander - Imperial Fists 1st Captain
Pedro Kantor - Crimson Fists Master
Tu'Shan - Salamanders Master

There's a 9th one, but these are the 8 that have been mentioned.

Additionally, looks like they'll be coming out with an all plastic Land Raider kit that includes three variants- Basic, Crusader, and Redeemer.

"There is also scuttlebutt regarding a re-cut of the maddening Land Speeder that might be easier to construct and some chatter regarding new scout bikers:"

Now, they put up a fairly substantial "grain of salt" caveat so and don't mention sources so take this for what it's worth.

Personally, it is nice to see all the non-Ultras up there but did we really need Sicarius or Cassius? What about an iron father or a special apothecary?

Pedro Kantor! They haven't had rules for him since Rogue Trader, have they? Neat!

Considering the Iron hands are ruled by a council its a little hard to include a "chapter master" from them, and keep the fluff nazis happy.

Would have been nice to have a White Scar Khan

stuffing two more characters in there would not have killed them.

Tu'Shan FTW!!!

I'm really excited they added Sicarus.

I bought the LE model on ebay a long time ago and finished painting him about a month ago

I was proxying him as one of the master's of the chapter, but now since he will be a special character heyyyyy!
