As we can tell from the screenies, the Queen model is not the one shown in the Battle Reports...Indicating the possibility that the Queen shown in those videos is indeed the HotS Collector's Edition Queen model, just as there was a CE Thor for WOL.
Those are some awesome looking new models. I'm glad they changed them because I felt the mothership core and widow mines were just rip offs from WoL. Queen in the screenshot is just the regular queen though I don't see any difference.
I'm glad about the Tempest changes. 6 attack speed made them relatively useless if your enemy does anything other nothing. And the models look awesome :)
I checked the icons and artwork in a rush and I have to say they look totally off. They are not the same style or quality seen in WoL. I think they may have packed temporary artwork so we don't have access to what is packed in the final version.
EDIT: There are wireframes for 2 different Swarm Host models and at least 3 locusts and one of those has wings.
Well... I was doing this on the staff forum but seeing how people already have started the party, LETS MINE THIS STUFF!
From my post in staff forum:
There seems to be a .lvl0 file type associated to every single one of the textures coming along with the Swarm mods. MPQs are found in mods folder, as usual, and under Swarm.sc2mod and swarmmulti.sc2mod.
MORE TO COME, EXTRACTING ALL TEXTURES ATM.
EDIT: Apparently textures are separated now. Tilesets seem to bring a set for "low" resolution textures which are 512x512 and high resolution which are 1024x1024. Screenshot of new "Desert Tileset" Pallete has been attached. Low resolution textures seem to lack alpha channel.
EDIT2: Attaching texture pallete preview for "ice world" tileset.
EDIT3: Attaching texture pallete preview for "korhal city" tileset. Can anyone see a difference between the old korhal tileset in WoL? There's also a korhal platform attached.
EDIT4: HERE'S A SEXY ONE. This one's labelled as "Starship". It also has a pallete of not eight but NINE textures! maybe they'll allow us a wider pallete selection now? Anyway. Pallete preview attached in screenshots.
EDIT5: And this is probably the last tileset, it's called "zerus".

Curse PremiumThis video was leaked earlier...
I spot some really interesting changes, and I love the new Widow Mine (as expected, a modified Shredder) and Mothership Core designs. Enjoy, guys! :D
EDIT:
Screenshots: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/1838476525

Weird. Mothership still has Cloaking Field and Oracle can't cloak? I will take a closer look later and check the details.
Seems legit.
I'll just keep checking my Email right now... hoping...

Fingers crossed for beta launch tomorrow.
Hehe leaked... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight ;)

Curse PremiumApparently it was a map: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/1836458768?pn=1 (More screenshots inside)
It contained most of the art from HotS, but not all of it (The Hellion for example, used its WoL model while in buggy mode).
@AlexO6: Go Then how could they have the models?

Yup, you'll need a beta key to log in even if you've got the client and they bring the servers online.
Hopefully both of those issues will be fixed...very soon ;)

Curse PremiumOK this is it for now I'm really excited but I got work early morning tomorrow so I'm out.
I checked the icons and artwork in a rush and I have to say they look totally off. They are not the same style or quality seen in WoL. I think they may have packed temporary artwork so we don't have access to what is packed in the final version.

There's also 4 planet loading screens, and they all have names in them so I can confirm the following planets: Kaldir, Korhal, Rendez vous, Zerus
Attaching the backgrounds, of course, so you guys can see them.
Pick your new wallpaper people!
