Was chatting with two of my good friends yesterday who also are ex staffers like myself and keep good contacts with current staff/managers and an interesting tidbit came up: Apparently after Skaven come out later on this year, Ogre Kingdoms are getting a book revamp HOWEVER it was said that they weren't getting any new models to go with the re-write, i find that hard to believe, but i do think that they may get a re-write like the Tau Empire book where they add maybe a new unit or two and then some more model options via direct sales.
Once again pinch of salt time, but this was the same guy who told me about the 40k baneblade, BFSP box contents and AOBR box contents months and months before they became common knowledge.

Well ogre kingdoms may be a way off but I have heard somthing. A area manager was in our local GW shop not so long ago and he loves ogeres, they are his nomber 1 "fun" army (no one uses them competativly) and he mentioned being at lunch with some of the design studeo and he tried to get some information about the ogre kingdoms and got a few ideas they were throwing around, nothing officail just ideas that they have for the next ed of the book. They are as follows.
1) Iron fists give an extra attack and a 6+ armour save.
2) Core choices will be cheaper by around 5 points.
3) Only need 3 ogres for a rank bonus so units of 6 will give you +1 combat rez. This rule didnt make it into last edition but was shown in the pictures (go look I'll wait)
4) Rinoxes will be charicter mounts. And they WANT to do them in plastic but what they want model wise isnt what they always get.
I hope this helps dont go off my word but this guy has not steered me in the wrong direction as of yet. About 90% of what he told me about WoC came true. And about 60% of lizards so you take this as you see fit. "
Huh! I'm good with this!
