I did the initial list, another guy added one or two. It should be noted that this isn't even ALL that can be done, just what could be found fairly quickly. I'm sure there are several more.

There it is! Thanks again for posting this! I will need to figure out who I want to make from all of these for my Watch Company.

Which shots are you looking at? I'm seeing lots of kit bashing but I'm not seeing new sculpts. Also quite notable that termies didn't get featured in the Eavy Metal section which is odd if they had new models painted up...

I've been thinking a lot about this, and between rereading info on the DW (specifically, in DW:OK where it says that "Long ago, many Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes swore an oath to send a tithe...") and the image posted a few pages back of the organization of the Watch Fortress that Artemis is a captain at (where the Chapters of origin of the Captains and Sergeants are shown, with many different chapters represented, yet still having two to three of some), and I've realized I don't need to go crazy making every single member a different chapter. On the surface, one might think initially that with a thousand chapters contributing, and the DW desire to mold their teams from many different combat doctrines and capabilities would lead to very, very few duplications within a given Watch Fortress, but it seems clear that the chapters they draw from are far fewer than the full thousandish chapters of the Adeptus Astartes.
Still lots of room for variety, though, and some ideas, I just like. Such as those chapters that use a recolored, but otherwise identical, emblem from a FF chapter that they aren't even related to, such as the Angles Redeemed, and the Hawk Lords. Lot of room to have fun with the available pads.

I read something that no two members of a kill team will be from the same Chapter, but yeah, across a whole army there's nothing wrong with having more than one marine from a given chapter. In fact, that line about the kill team is disproven anyway because kill team cassius has two ultramarines, so... go nuts

£22 for the Kill Team? Compared to £30 for the Sternguard, that is surprisingly reasonable! I might just grab another one down the line. £15 for the Watch Master isn't horrible either, compared to the recent character pricing trends.

Ooo, hopefully the Chaplain is the Reclusium Command Squad Chaplain with an upgrade sprue. If it ends up being that, I will be getting one to put with my Crimson Fists and appropriate the upgrade kit for different use.
The Corvus Dropship and Veterans kit all seem rather affordable. Probably going to be $30 or so for a Veterans kit (which is a frickin steal compared to other releases!) and $55 or so for the Corvus. I was halfways expecting double that for both kits.
£15 for the Watch Master is not bad, not bad at all. That's €20,- so yay, sooner or later I'll be having me a Knight Errant for my Horus Heresy projects.

It's about damn time, but my boxed set has finally shipped. Crossing my fingers that I am one of the lucky prices who endshould up with an extra sprue. Knowing my luck, I will be short a sprue or two. Or Eldrad or Artemis will be missing.

No matter what GW does their customer service is always top notch
I just did this morning as well, They are replacing mine too. Top Notch customer service indeed.
What are they replacing exactly? Book only, the Ruleset or even the whole Box?
They said they will replace the Rulebook. But hopefully the whole box. Some people get lucky like that apparently. I never have on any replacement parts, just the individual parts cut from the sprue. Regardless of whether they send a packages box or not, I am happy they are fixing my book.
I got excited when I saw £40.00 for the flyer, and went to google for a price conversion, google said $51, I got excited.

I wonder what the DW terminator box will be like. I don't think any rumors have come up for a dedicated kit, so will they chuck three DW sprues in to make sure you get enough for five Terminators? Or two, and tell us to use the Imperator Deus shoulder pad as a Deathwatch pad?
Wouldn't it be something if they had managed to keep the existence of another sprue, with things like the meltafist and more pads, and whatever else DW terminators should have, totally secret up til now?
But, I really doubt that.

I'm really hoping (but not expecting) the Terminator will get a recast so there will be a source of Meltafists other the DW:O.

If these are just existing kits plus the upgrade sprue how will that work with the Terminator squad? The upgrade sprue only has two Terminator pads on it. Are GW going to assume DW players will have plenty of spare pads and pack the kit with one sprue? Or will they pack it with three? I suppose I'm setting myself up for disappointment hoping that there's a specific Terminator upgrade sprue with melta fists and sculpted chapter badges for the right shoulder. The other problem is the Librarian. On the vanilla Terminator Libraian the left shoulder plate is moulded to the arm, does the DW pad go on the right shoulder? Or will it be the BA Terminator Librarian as that does have a separate left pad? Although the right does have the BA chapter badge and arm as one piece.

A previously unseen sprue with meltafist, chapter shoulder pads, DW pads, and perhaps a chestplate with or similar would be really nice. I could see a whole lot of trading for chapter pads flourishing all around the net, if that were to happen.

Wouldn't that be nice? But no, it'll be the vanilla Terminator box + 2 Upgrade sprues. The Terminator box already has 1 DW pad, so with 2 upgrade sprues you have 5.
But you get another Power Sword!

I quite like the Frag Cannon, as I'm sure you all do. Only having access to one per spue is pretty harsh though. I want about 6 of them. Anyone know of a decent aftermarket resin substitute?

Yeah. While I'm excited by the new book and the options available, the kit options of the various infantry are really throwing a wet blanket on my enthusiasm.
