According to the COMING SOON section of FFG's website here, the 2nd Battlepack ( Path of the Zealot - cards 21-40 of the Corruption Cycle) is on the Boat headed to the US, as is the 4th Battlepack ( The Deacemaster's Dance - cards 61-80) BUT the 3rd Battlepack ( Tooth and Claw - cards 41-60) is still listed as being at the Factory for printing???
So is there going to be some weird delay between the 2nd pack and the 3rd OR was this just some wonky typo??
I noticed my FLGS is listing BP #2 as expected in December, but BP #3 in February 2010.
Heidelberger got one battlepack on their website with the name Angriff auf Ulthuan (Assault on Ulthuan), perhaps it is just a far away translation for one of the other battlepacks or it could spoil us some new thematic. Could someone with WH experience say, what Ulthuan is?
Ulthuan is one of the main High Elf cities, from what I recall (not a High Elf player). So I'm wondering if this is a BP from the Corruption Cycle, or maybe the start of a new one...

Island. At least it was, unless fluff changed.
Assault on Ulthuan could be the title of the Companion Set: as part of their fluff, the Dark Elves have launched several large invasions of the Elvish nation of Ulthuan in an attempt to reclaim their home land.
EDIT: In fact, I'm willing to bet that it is. The german site has images for the other announced battlepacks, and include the word "Battle Pack" in the title of each confirmed battle pack. Let me have a look round the internet, and I'll find more information about the Dark Elves' assaults on Ulthuan *wishes he brought his Dark Elf army book to university*
Also, the battlepacks on the website are all listed as €9.99 (even those yet to be release), whereas this product has no price or expected price, indicating that it is a different kind of product.
Ulthuan is an island nation in the middle of the ocean between the Old and the New World's. It itself is made up of several different nations. It's basically the Atlantis of the Warhammer world.
I noticed this too. I'm hoping they just updated the wrong battle pack, and that pack 3 will indeed come before pack 4.
