Well, I'm the afore mentioned buddy who rang GW mail order in Sydney. The guy trying
to flog me a copy for $120 (Aus) was kind enough to turn the box over and tell me
what was inside. There are 6 Land Raiders, 6 Whirlwinds, 12 Rhinos, 10 Tactical
stands, 4 Assault stands, 4 Devastator stands, 2 Scout stands, 2 Terminator stands and
2 bike stands plus a single "character stand". There is a similar amount of Ork stuff
which I didn't pay much attention to since I don't play 'em.
He also said there will be 2 Space Marine boxed sets: one with Land Raiders, Whirlwinds, and
Rhinos and one with the list of troops mentioned above. Although he couldn't give me actual
numbers for what is in the expansion sets my guess would be either the same as with the new
rules set or half of that depending on how many sprues you get.
