Lifted from Librarium Online:

-Rumoured to be oversized; possible even hardback
-Will FULLY describe each of the 4 main Chaos Powers (cults, anyone? ) including their daemonic followers.
-Will cover both WHFB and 40k.
- Includes a stand-alone army list for each game system to use a full army of daemons.
-Roughly a dozen special characters across the 4 major powers, some of which can be used in both game systems.
-NOT compatible with Codex: CSM.
-Some suggest that it will not be tournament legal, but only for games of Apocalypse or pick-up/friendly games.

According to Warseer rumours, next summer might see another new codex, in the form of Codex: Orbital Assault! Apparently, it will focus on high-speed raids and deep-striking in more depth, while adding new rules for each army. There are also several rumoured releases to accompany it, including:
- Plastic drop pods
- Plastic Thunderhawk
- Plastic IG stormtroopers
- Plastic Valkyrie
- Ork Stormboyz

It's rumoured to be presented in a campaign format (a la Eye of Terror/Armageddon) with set protagonists/antagonists.

I'm wondering why they're having 2 separate books for Chaos, the one we have now will basically become Codex: Black Legion and Renegades after this newest one hits the shelf
