Nope... it's all conjecture at this point. Maybe the fluff is "moving forward" a bit.
But, who knows what the impact will be in 40k gameplay.
As a Harlequin player, I am hopeful for some goodies, so... we'll see.
Wrong. It means... I was right. Feels good calling the future lore movement. I got called crazy so many times when I told them GW was going to do this.

It gets even better if you filter by his posts or read some of the crap he's put out there for AoS.
Gamgee has this weird obsession that Slaanesh is being removed for the sake of "kid friendlying" GW's products.
PS Gamgee? Yneead, the nascent Eldar god of the dead? The intention of the Eldar is not that Yneead "replaces" Slaanesh. It's that Yneead defeats Slaanesh.

More Deathwatch info (from Spanish site, translated)
The box will apparently bring enough new minis:
1 Watch Captain Artemis
5 Deathwatch Veterans
5 Vanguard Veterans
1 Deathwatch Upgrade Sprue
1 Venerable Dreadnought
1 Eldrad Ultran
12 Harlequins
1 Death Jester
1 Voidweaver
2 Skyweavers
1 Harlequin transfer sheet.
208 pg40k Rulebook with special Death Watch Cover (I imagine that the 40K Softcover manual) quite a lot of minis at one price more than likely from $150.
If the minis of the Deathwatch Overkill half are cool foresee them a great success...
Another source just hours ago -
Have could see them news dedicated to the Deathwatch that landed in prepedido this Saturday: Death Masque, new box of Warhammer 40,000 that faces to the Eldars of Eldrad Ulthran against a nothing despicable force of the Deathwatch led by the captain Artemis.
Among the innovations that accompany this launch there will be rumored Codex for the Deathwatch faction - the price is possibly less since they have fewer pages, objective and given themed cards.
If we compare the price with other boxes of 40 k see that stays online games specialist as Deathwatch Overkill, but for a basic box (includes rules of Warhammer 40 k) a little hands will be if we compare it with the price of dark revenge, with a price that was around one hundred euros. Hobby topics already know, scabies to taste...
Death Masque contents are as follows: Eldars: 1 Eldrad Ulthran 1 Death Jester 12 Harlequins 1 Voidweaver 2 Skyweavers 1 sheet of decals for Harlequins Deathwatch: 1 Watch Captain Artemis 5 Deathwatch Veterans 5 Veterans 1 Venerable Dreadnought 1 matrix of improvements for the Deathwatch box includes a copy of the 40 k rules in softcover (208 pages) with the cover of Captain Artemis , rules for all the miniatures included, as well as a sheet of training for each faction. The conflict between both forces are situated in Port Demensus, giving it a narrative to confrontation, divided into three playable scenarios.
Unfortunately the flying of the Deathwatch commented Sad Panda has fallen from the launch, so if leave will do so later. Also with this succulent box now can begin the hostilities.

That if this is a starter with a rulebook and a load of harlequins for current 40k that I'll:
Potentially start playing 40k again (not likely)
or
Sell the little rulebook and probably the DW stuff

I wonder if the dying star Watch Fortress Erioch orbits might just be the forge that Eldrad needs to kick start his new goddess ?
Could be why the Deathwatch gets cross enough with him to need a new box set if the star comes back to live and melts their main home base
It's not about a new Goddess. Their talking about killing "She who Dance-moans, She who Thirsts....Slaanesh. They think they can kill her. But 40k being 40K they will fail at it, or will somehow make it worse. With some minor victories along the way. Maybe Ynnead manifests, but if it does it won't be walking into the Warp and punching Slaanesh in the face. Even Khorne was unable to kill Slaanesh or prevent its birth.

I love how these sites are posting this stuff after retailers have posted pictures of the order sheet with prices and the "promo material" stuff that gets sent to them...and people are still acting as if it's new when posted on other websites.

Still seems to me that GW are building up to a return and expansion of the events of the 13th black crusade. IIRC Eldrad was killed trying to capture a Blackstone fortress/Talisman of Vaul from Chaos. "Moving the story forward" probably amounts to just after Chaos breaks through the Cadian gate into the wider Imperium. The perfect moment for various villains and hero's of myth to make there dramatic entrance in a cliff hanger ending.

And there's still zero evidence they're actually removing Slaanesh, in fact there's more substantial evidence to the contrary. For an example, check the All-Gates AoS book, which has Slaanesh followers making a pact with Clan Eshin for an as yet unknown reason, and AoS as a whole, which you are using as an example, is building up to a Slaanesh comeback in some way. As for the 'toning down' of Slaanesh, if you read any of the Slaanesh fluff from AoS they've doubled down on the debauchery and depravity, so not toned down exactly.
From a 40k perspective, there's nothing to say the Ynnead plot will be a major success, or even a success at all. Looking at all the other recent campaigns, all sides have had significant losses to offset the victory (death of Aun'va and the Raven Guard CM, loss of Damocles to both sides, possible loss of the Fenris system and loss of the Cryptus system) so who is to say it won't happen again? It's just as possible Ynnead will be birthed but won't defeat Slaanesh, or Ynnead won't be birthed at all. The 'big prophecy' all you people are touting as proof isn't even that Slaanesh will go away, it's only that the Eldar will be freed from Slaanesh devouring their souls, probably through Cegorach's treachery

SO...from a fellow Canadian what you want to here is "Look! I was right, GW is getting rid of Slannesh to make their game/miniature line more 'kid friendly' and they are going to do it by bringing in the Eldar God of Death who is suppost to come to life (sic) when all the craftworlds infinity circuits meld into him then he will totally pwnzer Slannesh so that little timmies mom will buy him more GW miniatures because now there is no overt boob on it?
If that's the case you really have won the internet...here have 10,000 internets on me cause what are friends for right? Just watch out when you mix injecting the internets and marijuana strange things happen my fellow Canuck

So I might get one tiny detail wrong in that the new god is added into the pantheon and Slaanesh doesn't go away. Point is people called me crazy for suggesting any of this at all and end times.
Edit
Thanks for the internets. I like to keep tabs on this stuff.

To be fair, I Think Gamgee has received alot of ridicule for saying early on that this story arc is focused on the eldar scheme to get rid of she who thirsts.
Its a a bit early to say how the setting will be affected by this Campaign, but I Think Gasmgee is entiteled to some credit here.
Who did and didn't 'call it' isn't the point of this thread. Keep it on topic, that's 2 red text posts in just a couple of pages, this thread needs to do better.
I wish I had time for all the game systems I own, let alone want to own...

Wow, when I hopped back into this hobby, the starter set was somewhere around $80 (Assault of Black Reach/Necron re-release). Now it's going to be $150? That's ridiculous.

We don't actually know if this comes with dice/templates.

And the sick thing is it's still ridiculous money compared to buying individually. One part being the ridiculously inflated character prices due to GW's obsession with plastic eventhough plastic isn't ideal material for everything.
Feels good calling the future lore movement. I got called crazy so many times when I told them 
2000 Khorne Bloodbound (Skullfiend Tribe- Aqshy)
1000 Tzeentch Arcanites (Pyrofane Cult - Hysh) in progress
2000 Slaves to Darkness (Ravagers)
Just watch out when you mix injecting the internets and marijuana strange things happen my fellow Canuck
