Seeing as the rumor has been taken down (again), Ill just post my stuff here:
Army-wide Special Rules and Biomorphs
Reds8n has said we can expect to see many new and improved psychic abilities in the book.
Scryer in the Darkness tells us The Shadow in the Warp is now 12" range on 3d6, causes Perils of the Warp on double 1 or 6 and is free for Hive Tyrant, Tyranid Warriors and Trygon Alpha.
Synapse Creatures: units within 12 inches are fearless. No eternal warrior.
Feral behaviour: each Tyranid unit not in range of a Synapse creature has to pass a morale check or falls back to instinctive behaviour. Melee-creatures get bloodlust, and may not shoot while moving towards the earest enemies as fast as possible (run). Pyrovore may shoot optionally. Shooting creatures either shoot at the nearest enemy in range, or move towards the next cover. If theyre already in cover, they stay there. Their entries specify if theyre lurkers (shoot) or feeders (CC). If I remembered them, theyre added below.
Biomorphs: They grant general special abilities now. Examples: Toxin sacs grant you poisoned attacks (4+), adrenalin glands grant furious charge, etc. An Injector grants Instant Death on each to wound roll of 6. Toxic Miasma: enemies take a T test, take a wound f they dont pass it. Saves allowed. Toxic Blood: If the unit is killed, enemy models in cc (base contact?) take an I test, take a wound if not passed, saves allowed.
The S and shots of weapon symbiots are no longer modified by the creatures wielding them, they are now divided into light (for gaunts and warriors) and heavy variants (for fexes, tyrants)
Venom Cannon now S6, AP4, 3"blast (light version). They suffer an additional -1 penalty against vehicles. So, a glancing hit is - 3, a penetration - 1. Heavy Venom Canon is as above, but S9.
BramGaunt tells us One pair of Scything Talons grants rerolls on all 1's to hit, and two pairs grant rerolls to all to hit rolls.
BramGaunt tells us the lashwhip reduces the initiative of all models attacking the bearer to 1. In fact, its only the models in base contact.
Scryer in the Darkness says Boneswords will be power weapons that cause Instant Death on a failed Ld roll. If a pair of Boneswords, Ld test is taken on 3d6.
BramGaunt tells us Crushing Claws grant d3 additional attacks (but lower the I to 1).
Special characters including Old One Eye return. Phil Kelly explained that they are not meant to be individuals, but more like mutated survivors from a big war. Robin Cruddace has supposedly said they may give special rules to the whole army. BramGaunt tells us The Red Terror will not appear in the Codex.
Phil Kelly has implied the Tyranids will get an increased anti-tank capability
HQ

Biovore – A pic from an official GE product brief shows the following (with thanks
to jamesterjlrb for transcribing):

Equipment and Biomorphs
Hardened carapace, Claws and teeth
Spore Mine Launcher: Range 48" str. 4, Ap 4, Assault ?[assume 1], Large [blast]
*If after the first template in the ????[possibly barrage?!] [has been] determined, there are no enemy models within 6" of the [template, do] not resolve the attackbut instead place a number of spore mines equal to the number of biovores in the unit, in base contact w[ith each other] on the spot wher the central hole would have landed. T[he mines] follow the rules for spore mines detailed in the Living Brood [special rule].
Special Rules
Biovore
Instinctive behaviour-Lurk
Spore Mines
Living Bomb: Each spore mine is treated as an [individual] unit. Spore mines are always ignored for the purposes of [all] mission objectives. Spore mines are not subject to I[nstinctive] Behaviour, never go to ground voluntarily or ??? fall back. At the beginning of the Tyranid movement p[hase each] spore mine moves D6" in a direction determined by r[olling the] scatter dice. (Tyranid player chooses the direction if a hit [is rolled].
If a spore mine suffers a wound, touches an enemy mo[del, hits] impassable terrain or it ends any movement phase with[in 1"] of an enemy unit, it immediately explodes. Place the centr[al hole] of the large balst marker over the spore mine and resolve [it at] a strength 4 and ap of 4. Spore mines that drift off the [board or] into a friendly unit are immediately removed from play.
Spore mine clusters
Fluff about how spore mines don't always need biovores drop from sky (like last codex)
Orbital Deployment: Spore mine clusters are always deployed in the following manner. After both sides have selected their deployment zone but before any units are deployed, all of your spore mine clusters must Deep Strike onto the board. If any scatter off the board or into impassable terrain then the entire cluster is destroyed as described in the 1-2 result on the deep strike mishap table. After they have landed the spore mines in the cluster are then treated as individual spore mines as described in the living bomb rule.
Trygon – May be upgraded to a Trygon Prime, making it a Synapse Creature with an improved Bioelectric attack.
- Official GW retail product release says if it lands on a model when Deep Striking it counts as having assaulted that model/unit.
- WS6, S6, 6 Wounds and 6 Attacks
- Bioelectric attack: Range 12",S6, AP5, Assault 6
- If upgraded to an Alpha Trygon, attack is 18" and Assault 12
Mawloc – Cheaper and less CC oriented than standard Trygon.
- Has a large Red Terror style mouth, so possibly a Swallow Whole rule. May possibly have Hit & Run.
- According to the official GW retail product release, when Deep Striking any model touched suffers a S6 AP2 hit (a 5" teplate is involved) and survivors are pushed out the way as the Mawloc emerges. At the end of any subsequent Tyranid movement phase it can re-burrow and will automatically arrive the next Tyranid turn using its special DS rules (may not arrive and reburrow in the sae turn).
The official GW retail release says three new Apocalypse data sheets for the Trygon/Mawloc in WD February. One of these will supposedly include the ability for Raveners to DS through the Trygon tunnel without rolling for Reserves and Assault after.
Tyrannofex - Walking weapon battery
- Capsule cannon: Range 48", S10, AP4, Assault 2.
may upgrade to either:
- Fleshborer swarm: S4 AP5 Assault 20
- Pyroacid spray: S6 AP4 flamer template, used exactly like the Hellhound(12")
- Monstrous Creature with high Toughness
Dedicated Transports
Spore Capsule - Can be taken by all units without wings
- transports 1 MC or up to 20 Infantry
- Deep Strike. Transported unit disembarks immediately. Rules similar to Droppods.
- Completely immobile. Can't move, run, assault, regroup or pursue.
- WS and BS 2 Toughness 5 or 6 and 3 Wounds. 3 attacks S 6. monstrous creature.
- has a 6" Assault 6 S6 shooting attack. May be upgraded with other tyranid weapons. Has lashwhips.
Pour finir voici une brève description des unités sans figurines:
le tervigon est un gros carnifex avec une poche ventrale et les termagants qui sortent des côtes ( pas sûre de moi).
le tyrannofex est un carnifex qui avance sur 4 pattes avec un canon ressemblant au pyrovore et au biovore
l'horreur ailée est un serpent géant volant
