I'm not convinced from that picture that the DA details are sculpted on.

Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!
I agree with you chicky,seem to be decals to me on plain stock pads.But the shift in colour scheme is notable...weather it is a sign of things to come or not is fairly weak though.
The Marines look very similar to the Black Reach starter set Marines and the shoulder pads don't look that sculpted.. It could be transfers.
Having said that, shaving off the right shoulder pads from the Black Reach starter set Marines is a lot of work just to add the arrow in a different direction. and even then GW doesn't normally put 'converted' models on the front of boxes, only the ones you can actually make in the set.
I'm torn.

The previous one did, so it would follow form. This is the description of the contents of the last one as listed on this old online store

The Warhammer 40,000 Paint Set is an ideal first purchase. It includes a painting guide, a brush, a selection of Citadel paints and some easy to assemble miniatures for you to practice on. If you've never taken up a paintbrush or want to try a new technique, this set is a great way to get started.
The Warhammer 40,000 Paint Set contains a six-page painting guide, five plastic Space Marines with moulded Ultramarine and Tactical markings on their shoulder pads, a Starter Brush, a 12ml pot of Badab Black wash and the following 12ml pots of paint: Undercoat Black, Calthan Brown, Mordian Blue, Burnished Gold, Skull White, Chainmail and Blood Red.
The fantasy equivalent looks like it contains some of the High Elf starter set models from Island of Blood (or the extra direct only ones that came out later) and they have moulded shields etc.
Perhaps they are intended to be cross sold along with the box so use one of the factions from intro set.
Or of course it could be nothing of the kind and I just want a new DA codex
My Angels of Vengeance eagerly await new Dark Angels minis and codex.
it will be cool so then the DA and the SW can be almost even maybe can fight for once evenly
it seem to be following their new policy that they image on the box is exactly what you get. I don't know if any noticed that a lot of the new plastic kits show the mold joints which they could have easy hidden. They seem to have taken it one step further here mind since it appear they only used the brush you get in the set as well, the detailing seems quite naffly done. As a product i'm not that impressed they could have put in a least some sort of layer green in to stop it looking so flat and or a pure white for some edge highlighting.
DA look like they to become the new poster boys of 40k. It would tie in with the rumours that 6ed fluff is more chaos based. DA fluff would only need mild tweaking to make they a specialist ant fallen marine hunters.
Ughh.. not first again... The first books of a new edition ALWAYS get shafted, thats what happened to us last time! Here is hoping this round is better.
I was told by my store manager that the pads do have sculpted iconography.
