Subject: Is the Tyranid "The Phodian Annihilation Swarm" new stuff or rehash?

Rampaging Furioso Blood Angel Dreadnought

GW sent me an email about the new Tyranid Dataslate but I'm not certain if it's just a compilation of previous formations/etc or totally new stuff... does anyone know yet?
This is what the BL page says:
DESCRIPTION
When the Blood Angels descended upon Phodia, its defences had all but been overrun. The Hive Mind had turned from conquest to consumption, and the ruins thronged with swarms of digestion organisms. However, broods of Tyranids still remained, hunting down and devouring the remaining survivors. The Blood Angels classified these beasts as the Phodian Annihilation Swarm, and it was these bio-horrors that gathered to repel their invasion… This dataslate provides a formation datasheet for the Phodian Annihilation Swarm, plus datasheets for the units that comprise it, along with all the special rules, psychic powers and wargear you need to use this formation in your games of Warhammer 40,000.
CONTENTS
3 datasheets: The Children of Cryptus, Phodian Hive Warriors and The Beast of Phodia
Phodian Annihilation Swarm formation datasheet
Rules for the weapons and biomorphs used by the models in the formation
Tyranids special rules and psychic powers

It's the units from Shields of Baal. Deathstorm I think the set was called. So, if it's those units I'm sure they're the old rules in a new box.

Yup. Deathstorms contents in individual dataslates and a Combined formation.

Well that's boring. I was hoping to see Nids get some cool new rules.
