While the neurogaunts are questionable I can see the Barbgaunts being an auto-include for 'nid armies in the future. They might not be the best damage dealers aside from light infantry but their slowing ability triggers even if you only hit a target.
So roll a squad up to firing range, split fire a bunch of times and all of a sudden the enemy has -2 to move, charge and advance for said units. And for the slower groups (Death Guard, Necrons, Votann etc) that sort of debuff can be crippling.

Yeah every new batrep I've seen those neurogaunts have been pretty terrible. The Barbgaunts do not kill much of anything, but the control they provide with the movement reduction is invaluable for swarm/control and shooting backfield style lists. I'm not entirely sure that they would fit with my melee rush style lists (I mean, by definition I'm running forward lol) but I'm totally willing to try some different nid lists to change up the playstyle a bit so I will definitely be testing them out.

Interesting thing that TacticalTortoise pointed out. GW has revamped their store so that you can search for units based on keywords (infiltrate, battleline, beast etc). So while it might be a bit clunky and no doubt unfinished (no Tyranid battleline units listed), we can pick out some interesting tidbits.
Like for instance, Land Speeders are apparently classified as 'Deep Strike' now.

As long as the leak is correct (which it has been so far) all the nids datasheets should be tomorrow and the marines Friday.
Very excited.

Correct, but we will have all the datasheets and the points by the 16th....so shy of having the mission pack digitally, you can play 10e open war as of the 16th
