There's a new Metawatch video giving away some details about the new Mission Pack.

Notes:

• Battle Shocked units and OC0 units can't do actions!
  
• Pistols and Assault also don't work anymore for Actions!
  
• Titanic Characters will now be able to perform Actions.
  
  
• Apparently easier deployments? (They're saying less "confusing" diagonals?)
  
  
• Secret Objectives replace Gambits
  
• Only the player with less VP can choose Secret Missions. Winning player can't.
  
• One example is "hold three Objectives at the end of the game.
  
• Another is hold the enemy deployment zone objective with your Warlord.
  
  
• Chilling Rain (no mission rule) is gone.
  
• More rules will have buffs and abilities specific for Battleline units.
  
• Examples:
  - one lets Battleline Advance and action
  - one lets Battleline Advance and shoot
  - one lets Battleline action in combat
  - one lets Battleline  arrive from reserves turn one
  
  
• Summer Dataslate and points changes coming forward. Aligns to Pariah Nexus release.
  
• Points changes to reflect new rules.
  
• Significant Ad-Mech changes coming in that.
  
  
• Official FAQs are also coming!
  

Very interested to see what this new dataslate is going to look like and tey out the pariah nexus missions ... but it also feels like they are trying to push out codexs pretty fast doing two at a time now

They've done two at a time before. It usually just means that these two Codexes weren't getting much in terms of new units.

The Metawatch video did promise points reductions for a few units to reflect their new inability to perform Actions. I'm not expecting much in terms of rules changes.
