New Vampire counts
Looks like ogres and wood elves are gonna have to wait a bit longer, VCs are getting their update next!
All I really expect is for the regen banner to disappear, and for mannfred to become less ridiculous. They must be getting a big thing, but what?

Could it not just be the release of new models for Vampires for the Storm of Magic?
This seems more reasonable then a new army book for Vampires, instead of Ogres, for which rumoours have been going on for a long while..

What? VC before OK?? That's really unexpected because well...frankly WE and OK needs an update quite badly to be inline with 8th ed like TK.
Not I'd mind because I do collect VC too, but they're a bit boring to play with compared to WE and OK for me.

I wish I could look again. I know they get a new character in storm of magic (necromancer), and but I am becoming less certain about the new book. I still have a hunch, as I definitely had a discussion about new VCs with the WD in front of me but its not impossible they had something else (non storm of magic) being released and I misinterpreted...
CURSE MY MEMORY! At least you'll be able to see the damn thing for yourselves very soon.
I can see why VCs would get one, because they need balancing down to reduce some of the more insane things they can do.

Having followed the rumours on Ogres very closely, I cannot picture any armybook but theirs to be next.
I also think what you saw was SOM related...Still want to see those pictures though!!!

I don't know. Orcs didn't NEED a new book, and yet they were first out of the block. Then came Tomb Kings. Honestly, there's about half the VC book done right there. And with their abuse of the Dark Eldar (a decade without a new book) I have serious qualms about the future of the Ogres and Wood Elves (especially as the latter have traditionally been among the LAST armies updated). I'd honestly expect new Dwarf and Empire books before Ogres.

@Durzod, then it is probably a WD revision of the counts like Dyvim Tvar suggests. And why do you think Empire and Dwarves will come before Ogres? I have heard no rumours whatsoever pointing that way, while the Ogre rumours have been many, many, many...did I say many yet? And also from very reliable sources from the past.
Here is a small round up of rumours for those interested:

With the old topic starting to get a bit lengthy, with random tidbits and wishlisting thrown all over the place, I thought it'd be a good idea to start afresh now that stuff is starting to flow in from a variety of reliable sources.
Link to the thread over on 'Seer: http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=304539
Release date: With the August slot now filled, Octogre seems more and more likely, with sneak peeks at Gamesday UK.
Harry: No Mammoth, but a possibility of a Warhammery-Mammoth-Monstery thing. Two plastic kits, one with three cavalry of some description (Rhinox Riders? Cat riders?) and the other with a Scraplauncher and a 'wagon load of trouble'. New character models. Plenty of 'cheesy' gribblies.
Avian: Gut Magic is highly likely to become much more similar to a standardised lore.
GodlessM: Plastic Yhetees, Scraplauncher and Rhinox Riders.
Ghost21: Plenty of odd weapon options, including some from the old DoW.
Darnok, via a birdy:
Quote
Ogres gain resilience through improved save, not sure if its a 6+ scaly skin or a 6+ regen. Fluff has to do with their layers of fat/gut
Ogre magic augment spells will no longer be remains in play, expect magic to be in line with all other lores, butchers/slaugthermasters may loose loremaster
Ogre ironguts go to strength 5, will have option to take a great weapon or a cls
Rhinox riders are in the list officially
Maneaters may gain the ability to improve their stats to reflect their worldly experience, unit may choose one: +1 bs, +1 ws, +1T or terror.
Leadbelchers receive normal cannons, move or fire. So can shoot normal cannon ball (D3 wounds) or grapeshot.
Restrictions for gnoblars and scraplaunchers are gone
Bignames no longer count towards magic item allowance
Zsouless, via someone he didn't sculpt out of greenstuff:
Quote
Ogres will be coming soon, they've got a VERY heavy plastic cav as well as what I can only describe as being between a chaos war mammoth and a bantha from star wars! which IIRC can be loaded out in 3 or 4 different ways (char mount, large cannon, multiple leadbelcher cannons etc.) IIRC there's also a plastic character kit (butchers & tyrants I think.
Difisher from a 'well-informed' source, which Harry has cryptically thrown a bit of weight behind in his own riddlesome way:
Quote
Our new Cav will be (MASSIVE) cat-based - so I'm guessing some sort of sabertusk cav.
We definitely have a cannon-based scraplauncher variant.
Our new wizard is a fire-eater - therefore access to lore of fire.
New plastic characters.
Games Day releases.
My cynical self, seeing as Dwarfs and Empire have a larger following...especially within GW (meaning more $ale$).
