I have to agree with the comment of more Xenos and i wouldlike to see more info for the different chapters.

Ah, sorry bout that, seems I misunderstood what you were saying.... oh no, its too late for me to edit my post >.<.  oh well.  As far as generaly operations go, the biggest difference is that the Grey Knights recruit directly, while the Deathwatch is a temporary assignment.  other than that the Deathwatch is to the Ordo Xenos what the Grey Knights are to the Ordo Malleus, more or less. ok, I'll stop talking now before I say something else equally dumb, or make more typos....

i'm hoping to run a spacewolves campaign ending with a Spacehulk mission

A decent spread of xenos adversaries.

Tau, Necrons, Tyranids - expand upon them please.

BYE 

I'd like to see more Tyranids, and some more Eldar and Orks, probably Tau too.

Also, Raven Guard represented either as 1 of the 6 chapters in the book, or in a future supplement.

Finally, some representation of a Grey Knight, even though far too strong to be considered a playable starting character, so probably as NPCs.

 I hope it includes an intresting scenario and rules for playing scout marines.

The game does look quite good and I might get it. Will certainly make more combat oriented play than my normal campaigns but scenarios such as "This Guardsman bastion have had dealings with Kroots, deal with it" could make intresting campaigns.

I'm looking at it the same way. The RPG version of Kill Team for Table Top. Bring your elite warrior's to wreck house.

I am mostly looking forward to the stats and gear, but Agamor already gave us most of that, and what he didn't give we can make up.

As with most of the other posters, I'd like to not only see more of the Xenos we all know and love (Orks, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Tyranids..), but I'd like to see some entirely new Xenos as well.

I'm curious if they'll include statistics for Marine sniper rifles; I haven't found any player created rules for one and I have a player in my RT group who is chomping at the bit for one.

Getting to Roleplay through a Space Hulk game.

Nothing more need be said.

The last couple of editions, they've either used needle rifles or long las'.

At one point wasn't their sniper rifle capable of firing bolt rounds? If I'm mistaken, so be it, but I was pretty sure it did.

Not that I ever remember hearing of in regards to the sniper rifle able to fire bolter rounds, but there is a 'sniper' round for bolters. The Stalker round, I believe it was called. I remember that it came up in Veteran Sergeant Naaman's codex entry back in the day.

And is usable by Deathwatch members too, I believe.

But yea, the sniper rifles used by scouts have been needle rifles or long las' in the last couple of editions.

 Just out of interest, the things that I'm looking for are: 

• Encompassing the different background approaches, i.e. "psychopathic killer" versus "noble knight" in a belieavable manner.  One good suggestion has been the RPG conceit: PCs are special, so PC Marines are the ones that have broken the "programming" that marks the majority of the Adeptus Astartes.
• Give the Marines a separate track for "Glory," or a measure of how well they're doing beyond just the XP.
• As with Rogue Trader, make the iconic equipment into something more.  For the Marine this is their equipment.  Thus, give the power armour some more than "AV 12" or whatever.  Make it have "personality."  For example, an ancient suit of armour might come with certain upgrades/powers.  If a Marine acts with heroism, they might acquire more powers still.  This is an extension of the whole "Marine's weapon/armour is their soul."
• Make the zygotes do something.  Again, it's more about personality than just making the Marine uber.

Those are just the ones that spring to mind at the moment.

I'd certainly like to see a spate of minor xenos - by which I mean, not already covered by GW -  like the H'rud, or the Nekulli, Bargheshi etc. More than that the xenos have to be dangerous. Not just combat potential, but a real threat to the Imperial way, something that could overrun a Sector. With the current plethora of Xenos there's threats enough, but I think everyone knows what the Tyranids can do by now, or why a Necron awakening is a sight to avoid.
