GW to push Ogres at Games Day? Octogre release?

I have information that GW will be pushing Ogres at Games Day. I cannot post the exact nature of how they will be pushing them as i do not know how many people have been told this and therefore whether i will compromise anyone. I can say i do not mean from a sales point of view but more from a "have ogres everywhere" point of view. This would suggest to me that GW are preparing to release Ogres soon after Games Day.

new kits 1 character based (possibly 2 kinda its complicated) , rhinox rider / scraplauncher

planned for october as far as i know

ogres are going to be very nice...

Shouldn't that be Octogre? 

Curse the Pieman for his outstanding wit. I no longer care if it's in August or September, it's now Octogre.

My biggest hope is for plastic characters, and all thing big plastic.

It frustrates me so much when my Hive Tyrant falls to bits just because something small hit him in the head, meanwhile my plastic Trygon still stands tall (very tall) without a bit of trouble at the joints or the body.

Now, lets hope they dont change our core unit model...

And, about the Rhinox Riders...

what you guys expect? right now ;

for 145 pts ;
1 bull with 3 attacks WS3 S4
1 Rhinox with 4 attacks WS4 S6
the whole thing is T5 5 wounds.

Rhinox would most likely drop in attacks, to go with the Scraplauncher. (or scraplauncher get an upgrade in stats?)
145 pts seems a bit step to me. maybe drop to 125 with lower stats?

I guess they'll go on par with the new monsters (Arachnarok and TK's).

And the base? Still chariot, or will our Rhinox Scraplauncher look tiny (like the old and new Skaven Bells)

im thinking more on par with the TK necropolis knights, a 2+ armor save though instead of the 3+ the TK knights have(a scrappie has a 4+,then add the armored ogre and your talking very heavy calvary) with about the same stats they have now for around 100pt(give or take). they have to be cheap enough to build a unit with at least one rank while being able to include other stuff in the army.

yhetees will get new models not sure if there going to be in first wave though
they are going to be more useful than now

oh slave giants.. will be a mount option in the version i saw as a gnoblar char can use one

gut magic is more streamlined you buy the spells you want

hunters get entire packs , and a bear thing
a chariot my imagine the carnage.....

Summary so far

Updated 6/5/11

My information above that GW will be pushing Ogres at GamesDay
Harry's absolute, resounding unambiguous no.

Ghost 21 has suggested that there will be one or two character based kits. Due to the size of ogres plastic characters seem more likely than for other races. It is not clear whether he means normal or special characters. He also suggested there will be a rhinox based kit and a plastic scraplauncher kit.
Based on the last few releases it would appear likely that Ogres will get a big gribbly and/or a sort of casting/mounted platform creature (e.g. sphinx,stegadon,arachnarok,bell), or both in one.
Also from Ghost 21:
Yhetees new models, possibly not first wave, will be more useful gamewise.
Slave giants will be a mount option, possibly for gnoblar characters.
Some sort of choice system for gut magic, possibly buying spells.
Hunters get larger packs and some sort of bear thing
Hunter possibly in resin

I don't know whether or not the guy who created this roundup was being sarcastic or is a bit of a twonk - Harry gave an absolute, resounding, unambiguous 'yes' with that Speckled Jim reference.

Sounds suspiciously similar to the stuff Steppingonyou was saying last time round (especially the Giant-riding Gnoblar, considering there's no real way they could implement it as a model), but at least it's something to go off. The GM stuff also contradicts with what Avian said and I know who I'd trust more.

O&G doesn't.

Lore Attribute could work like the TK attribute by restoring d3 wounds worth of models.

The Lore Attribute might well be some kind of side effect on the butcher that scales with the spell (e.g. hit with the strength of the casting value of the spell, autowound if over 10). No reason a Lore Attribute need be beneficial...

Not that I'm complaining about knowing all spells, it just looks to me that there isn't any real reason gut magic couldn't operate exactly like everyone else's magic. I think we should be prepared for the eventuality that gut magic becomes a conventional Lore and butchers normal wizards.

Well they changed the TK magic to a more traditional lore; no reason to think they won't do the same to gut magic.

All the plus, no minus.

most other armies though have access to multiple lores, while we only have one(that we know for now at least). not to mention that we need buffs on our ogres to stay alive in combat and help us win games. hopefully GW wont take loremaster from us without buffing ogres in some other way.

Monstrous Infantry in Lance formation?  what would that need to be, 1 model wide with the first 5 guys hitting?

silly.

but i'd take it.

It'd definitely be an efficient way of implementing the side effects, but I think I would be a bit miffed if we didn't get some sort of bonus in the lore attribute. Almost everyone else gets access to one with some sort of benefit and I don't want to be left behind.

Depends heavily on what the GM spells actually are. If they're all exceptional or the signature spell is good, I'd be okay, but no way Jose am I paying out 130-odd points for a wizard who doesn't then get the spell I need and eats into my character allowance. We're rather dependent on some of our spells to boost our sometimes-less-than-stellar combat ability and I'm loathe to put faith into a few D6 at the beginning of the game (again, depending on what the spells are and other changes).

We could also potentially, like the Tomb Kings, get access to rulebook Lores. Life is a possibility, Beasts sort of fits but the Lore attribute is spectacularly useless for Ogres, after that not sure.
