Of Deathwatch and Cults

So there have been mixed rumours regarding Deathwatch and Genestealer Cults and the fact that those rumouring it seem confused means I'm confused. Some say they'll be separate releases like all the other 40K armies have done recently (possibly with a supplement campaign), some say it'll be a board game like the Assassins (shudders with fear) and some say it'll be a verses box set like Dark Vengeance.

Personally, I'm hoping more for a Dark Vengeance like box. Dark Vengeance costs $160 here as opposed to the Assassins board game at $210, plus it comes with more models which technically count as a legal army for both sides. If they are separate sets, then I hope the codex's are of the cheaper format, given that I know I'll have trouble justifying model purchases ($66 for a 10 model pack). Also, a while back I gave a quick look at the book Deathwatch, which is the story of a Deathwatch team and their first mission that so happens to involve a Genestealer Cult, so a themed box set like Dark Vengeance is so much more suited to the two.

Or perhaps I'm just deluding myself.
