Fantasy Flight Games is adding Ogres (and Halflings) as a playable race to third edition Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay in a new supplement called Hero's Call, to be released in the First Quarter of 2012.
"Heros Call, the epic campaign supplement for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, features a wide range of high-powered careers for heroes at the pinnacles of their professions, new actions to inspire awe, and deadly foes such as Archaon the Everchosen, who make worthy adversaries for epic showdowns toward the climactic end of a campaign. Still, Heros Call offers yet another truly exciting addition to your adventures in the Old World; players find rules to play characters of two new races, halflings and ogres.
No matter how many assassinations an ogre has thwarted or how many battles an ogre mercenary has helped the Empire win, people remain fearful and wary of them, never certain if one of the hulking brutes will turn against them. Nonetheless, a few members of the nobility have hired ogres into their staff as bodyguards. Their sheer size and strength makes them truly intimidating, and while an ogre receives payment on time and remains well fed, he remains surprisingly loyal. An ogre who doesnt find himself drafted as a bodyguard may end up serving as a mercenary or hired muscle for a criminal organization."
