Those are reasonable assumptions, but without a source I see no reason to put much stock in it. I think we'll see some of those things come to pass, and BoLS will feel vindicated, but honestly they're just educated guesses that anyone could jump to.
The literal biological children that the Emperor supposedly sired. They're supposed to have amazing superpowers and imortality. Plus I imagine they'd be a huge secret.
Well as stated previously - there is apparently a picture of a Sister of Silence opposite the fluff piece?
The Sensei were always loners and often hunted by the Imperium, very few knew of their heritage or would believe it - GW could change the fluff however I don't see it fitting when the SOS already have new models which need to be inserted into 40k.

Makes sense, but really I just can't picture the the SOS being all that powerful. Sure they're nulls and all but so are Celexus Assassins and they aren't going round unmaking gods.

I have not read it but the Beast series had them as extremely powerful weapons.

The leak states the high lords sent their parchment "into the depths of the imperial palace" Lexicanum states, in the very first line of the article on the Sisters of Silence, that they are "Operating from the Somnus Citadel on Luna". The 40k wiki confirms this.
I'm hardly a 40k scholar but if this is correct either the depths of the imperial palace stretch all the way to the moon or they are talking about someone else.
Well, TBArises series, sorry, SPOILER in M32 has them come back into play and into the Imp Palace w/da Big E Himself. So I wouldn't write it off, entirely.

As far as i remember not all descendants of the emperor had special powers or immortality in the old Sensei stories it could skip generations. If the Sensei come back does that also
mean the return to the Starchild arc?

That's great they're getting feedback, but we're talking about like 2 year lead times on getting minatures from concept to store shelf. I would hope for a range that is all metal and finecast, and with GW's policy of not releasing rules that they don't have models for, that they wouldn't already have something coming with this codex, and inquistorial henchmen should be at the top of the list. So basically, this shouldn't be something we should have to request now, it should be something they have ready to come out now.
I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I don't think it's the sisters of silence, as others have said they're warriros and they're nulls but not exactly 'unmake gods' types.

The Somnus Citadel was the bastion of the Sisters of Silence during the Heresy/Great Crusade.
After the Emperor was ensconced on the Golden Throne, there was something that caused a schism between the Sisters of Silence and the Imperium. They left the Imperium, retreating to outposts they had outside the Imperium.
That's where we find them during "The Beast Arises" series. Scattered outposts, under siege by Orks garrisoned by handfuls of Sisters of Silence because the Primorks have recognized the threat that the Sisters pose to them.
Post-"Beast Arises"? There hasn't really been much written/published about them beyond that. It's always been assumed that they became part of the Inquisition, serving as guards onboard of the Black Ships of the Inquisition.

Traitor Legions goes up today. Imperial Agents goes up next Saturday.
Be patient. The people who have the book now are also under an agreement of some type with GWnot to publish any information before the preorders go live.
Got some bad news, some random guy on 4chan said that the models in Imperial Agents are the old metal models. IF this is true then that's really bad news as it could mean we won't be seeing sisters for a LOOOONG time :(
