So our best guess right now is:
Inquisition
AA Telepathica
Deathwatch
Assassins
Grey Knights
Sisters
What kits do they need to support each of those factions with at least a unit?
Inquisition - Has plenty of options in Finecast for characters.
AA Telepathics - Needs a small infantry box... maybe a three-person box like the sorcerors box that is on pre-order.
Deathwatch is ok.
Assasins are ok.
Grey Knights are ok.
Sisters - need a 5 person box of sisters with a clamshell cannoness.

Oooohh no I had not seen that yet, thanks for posting, surely a sign Deathguard will be getting a release. I know Atia made comments on Mortarion and stuff but didn't think there would be new Deathguard. Nurgle has always grossed me out too much to actually want an army but I always loved the metal DG unit, would love to see new ones in plastic, especially after the quality of the TS.

Has anyone seen this yet? Deathguard Green was listed as a base colour in GW's 2016 Christmas Gift guide.
Can confirm this.
Deathguard, Ahriman Blue, and Thousand Sons are the only three new paints I could find in the gift guide.

Just going to say, it's not a "guess" regarding those.
Astra Telepathica is confirmed, it was in the blurbs we got early on. Same with Deathwatch, Assassins, Inquisition, Grey Knights, and Sisters.

No worries! Same here, I really hope so. Seems like a strange thing to include in the guide if we don't see them soon. Saying that though, GW's social media/marketing team are killing it lately with the community interaction, so it might just be a tease.

Fine... Confirmed. I'm guessing on kits.
Guesses:
Custodes are ok. Could use some characters, but how much is Forgeworld going to do?
Scions are ok.
Knights are ok.
Legion of the Damned are ok.
Sisters of Silence are ok. Could use some characters, but what about Forgeworld here too?
Arbites - Need a squad and clamshell commander
So, for the confirmed forces, we need:
2 plastic basic infantry kits (IQ henchmen and sisters)
1 Character (Cannoness rumors)
1 3-person set of psychers.
For the guesses, the only one that would really need a lot of support is Arbites. They share a vehicle with the sisters (Repressor) and Guard (bunch of stuff), so a plastic Repressor kit would serve both well.

Who says they need characters for anything?
Custodes and Sisters of Silence(and IMO, the Scions), if in, are likely in the same way it mentions Deathwatch and Grey Knights: Individual squads.
Everything about this book, in terms of the way it has been getting previewed/showcased, suggests a book that is intended to provide Allied formations/Detachments rather than playable armies.

What Forgeworld is up to is completely irrelavent, this is completely separate.

There aren't going to be any new kits. This book comes out pretty much by itself on the 17th. The next 2 saturdays are christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Imperial Agents is a Stand Alone supplement book that got called a codex because so many other codexes got mashed into it.

I'm expecting pretty much that. A way to field small parts of those forces alongside your main army - smaller than your Allied Detachment, which basically only leaves "1 unit of X". Think Custodes/Sisters of Silence style.
I'm kinda surprised that GK, DW and SoB are going to be part of it in some way - I'd expected a purely "addon stuff" type of book. Inquisiton has basically 2 units, Assassins 4, Custodes and SoS 1 each. All of these can't run as an Allied Detachment.

Thing I don't really understand with the Imperial Agents codex is simply why it's needed if it's detachments only? Can't you already do that with Allies?
I guess one reason could be that there is no physical Inquisition codex so they figured they'd make one but realized there wouldn't be enough stuff in it so they threw in a bunch of stuff that doesn't have a book and because it includes the Inquisition they added some small chamber militant options.
How much have they retconned by the way?
Who is still the chamber militant of who?
GK used to be for Ordo Malleus
Deathwatch for Ordo Xenos
Sisters of Battle for Hereticus
So they completely separate entities now or just some of them?

It puts it all in one place. Hardcopy, at that. Assassins, Inquisition, and Sisters of Battle are electronic only right now.
I'm not sure how it will all be organized, though. I have my suspicions that we're just getting Copy/Paste treatment for all of the above armies/units.
Also, it allows you to participate in tournaments that have 1 or 2 source restrictions.

So thanks to Hellath over at B&C for posting this, seems Spanish GW got a tease of Jan's WD:
So people are saying its Abs which most likely means he's getting a shiny new plastic look, now as a matter of interest, where was that list of release rumours that someone brought back up from Natfka? Cant find it again but just wanted to check since they got some of the Tzeentch stuff right, was there a mention of a new Abbadon?
Also.....Ma sisters....

If they're ramping up the Black Crusade and directing it towards Tera, it makes sense for them to bring out a new Aba to lead the forces. He might be getting some updated rules to make him fit better in a post primarch world.

What's that? A Chaos special character being resculpted after 20 years? 'Boring and Pointless.'
Guess only Imperials get resculpts, amirite? Can't have Chaos actually getting some love after a decade of them being the taboo subject because Pete Haines once existed. Can't have that at all.

A new abaddon model would be sweet as all hell. Both kharn and ahriman got a size upgrade and they're in power armour. So there's a good chance abaddon could be humongous.
I'm more interested in traitor supplement leaks atm though XD

Anything that isn't Sisters is irrelevant to me. I understand that a lot of people care about chaos or the fluff or w/e but as far as I'm concerned 40k is just a vessel used to release Sisters of battle. Oh well, saves me a few hundred bucks in new Sisters plastics I don't have to buy. Oooh, I can get my 40$ back for the Adepticon 40k Champs too!

I'm not sure about rules. The way they set up this black crusade in traitor's hate sounds an awful lot like he's off on an adventure to get some of that power horus and the emperor had. So currently he would be at his normal strength.
On the other hand, with this presumably the final crusade it would make some sense to already give him the rules/model to reflect that state, more so with there not being a primarch for Black Legion and that being the legion responsable for this new push to terra.
Of course these days anything is possible really. Except a new csm codex apparently.

Some people would say it's a complete dick move made by a man-child.
Not me. I wouldn't want to get my account suspended for the 15th time.

Imperial agents is Sisters of Battle. It is relevant to the conversation. And yeah, I'm a little bitter. Look, you got your new thousands sons, you got your new Abaddon and probably Deathguard coming, new chapter tactics, enjoy it. This is a cool time to be a Chaos player, but it does suck that all the many, many things we've been hearing about new Sisters amount to nothing. Give me my few minutes of bitterness, I think the fact that I still have and have to use models from 2nd Ed allots me that courtesy.

I'm not sure about rules. The way they set up this black crusade in traitor's hate sounds an awful lot like he's off on an adventure to get some of that power horus and the emperor had. So currently he would be at his normal strength.
On the other hand, with this presumably the final crusade it would make some sense to already give him the rules/model to reflect that state, more so with there not being a primarch for Black Legion and that being the legion responsable for this new push to terra.
Of course these days anything is possible really. Except a new csm codex apparently.
I thought it said that he had already received the blessings of each of the Chaos gods as part or and in between his other 12 Black Crusades, along with permanently destroying obstacles to his ultimate push towards Terra.
Either way, I'm all for a new Abbadon model!

Actually, half the Sisters' range dates from 3rd ed. Half of it was released after the CSM 3.5 release with Codex Witchhunters. Also, the age of your models? Matters not a damn. Did you know the Sisters digital codex is actually NEWER than the CSM codex? Did you know that? Bet that's a surprise to you.
And it's not JUST Sisters of Battle. In fact, most of the rumours are pointing to it not necessarily being a full SoB codex but a collection of a squad or two - perhaps to allow the old Inquisition led 'oddities' similar to the set up of Daemonhunters/Witchhunters in 3rd ed. Of course, it could be a full compilation/reprint as GW are shying away from dataslate and digital only releases so that would make logical sense as well.
And hey, perhaps we're not hearing anything about New Sisters yet because the Imperial Agents book is some 2 weeks away. We didn't start seeing solid Thousand Sons rumours til a week or so before the pre-order so hey, perhaps that's an indicator.
But coming here and declaring your opinion as the only relevant one.
HOO. That's rich.

Knew that about about the codex, but if the models age is irrelevent, than why is the codex age relevant? I also didn't say that my opinion is the only relevant one, I said that it's the only relevant one to me, which is true of anyone, you clearly don't care that I think Sisters is the more interesting release so why should you care if I think Chaos stuff is boring?
You like Chaos and are excited about the new model, awesome, enjoy it. I wanted Sisters and am probably not getting any, sucks, but after a little bit of venting I'm over it. You go focus on how cool the new Abaddon sculpt is gonna be especially after Ahriman came out and I'll go back to lamenting in a corner like I was before. We never need to interact again if you don't want to.
