These were the possible rumors from the previous thread by jamesterjlrb

jamesterjlrb suggested that GW will be pushing Ogres at GamesDay
Harry's absolute, resounding unambiguous yes to this rumor. (Sounds like we misunderstood Harry at first and Ogres at Gamesday was confirmed)

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
Ogres will have new weapon options

From Far2Casual, possible new Butchers and Slaughtermaste rs coming with Storm of Magic maybe in resin?

Mentioned by ferrus and backed up by Harry and Ghost21 rumors of plastic rhinox cavalry.

Darnok: (not yet confirmed)
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
