Looks like a lot of people are reading into this teaser from the upcoming WD as heralding a Deathwatch release in the coming week.
There's a lot of things that are black and silver, but Deathwatch fit the bill without hesitation (apparently). Natfka and BoLS both report that there's going to be a boxed game a la Execution Force/BaC:

Womp. Salty to be sure, here's some old stuff that might just be resurfacing in the coming days with some truth or proven total wishlisting:via anonymous sources on Faeit 212
-Had it confirmed today that the Black and Silver teaser is 100% Death Watch.
-I saw the release schedule tonight.....100% Deathwatch confirmed.
What do you think, Heresy: are we looking at a Deathwatch mini-game or something else that's black and silver?Previously a source who spoke to BoLS on condition of anonymity, said:
- Opposition force for the Deathwatch in the Boardgame is Tyranids.
- Look for Genestealers, Warriors, Lictors.
- There is a “box only” Lictor Character.
- As with Betrayal at Calth – these are standard 40K models fully usable outside the boardgame.
- There is chatter of potential Deathwatch op-for xenos expansions for the boardgame (Orks, etc…)
Recall that the earlier set of info on the boxed game was:
- Look for the Deathwatch to arrive in the Grimdark in 2016.
- They will make their initial appearance in a boxed boardgame like Execution Force / Betrayal at Calth.
- The Deathwatch models are based around a new Deathwatch upgrade sprue.
- The sprue will contain items such the distinctive shoulderpads, and specialist equipment and weapons of the Deathwatch.
- The Deathwatch sprue will be bundled atop the Sternguard base kit in the boardgame.
- The game will allow for you to equip your Killteam’s weapons and equipment in a variety of ways with rules to support them all.
- As with Betrayal at Calth – these are standard 40K models fully usable outside the boardgame.
- There will be an opposing force the Deathwatch is pitted against with their own models in the box.
