Does the newest lore mention anything about the size of Ghaz? The new model (without armor) looks to be only a tat taller than a primaris marine = so about 3m-3,5m tall? Doesn't the old lore put him at about 6m/20ft tall?

Not sure about old lore. That model looks to be on a tilt, and in the standard gotta-take-a-dump-right-now Ork squat, so hard to tell how tall the model would be, if it was standing up.
That said, is that a titan-class power claw? That SW with the chainsword is about to experience the equivalent of bringing a knife to an intercontinental ballistic missile fight.

That marine seems to be in the foreground of the shot.
Ghaz looks massive on the warcom pics.

Do you have a link? He looks dreadnought sized to me (armor incl).
Far from it. Mabye knight sized.

My bad, I meant Knight-sized and also... kind of as a joke.

My question would be on how tall is Ghazzy compared to warbosses like Snagrod, Nazdreg and the Overfiend. I imagine those guys are bigger than average warbosses.

I would also like to point out that Ghaz has a quad-cannon on his left arm while Ragnar has something like a pistol. I know Orks aren't really sharp shot, but I'm pretty sure that quad-cannon makes aiming very superfluous.

Dunno how tall he is, but I did find it entertaining that they both managed to kill each other.

Did he nearly die and have to cross the rubicon primaris and now he’s taller?

In the Ghaz supplement back in 7th, the last bit of lore on Ghaz was him having a vision from Gork and Mork saying he was gonna lead the biggest Waaagh in history. After that he grew a bit more and the other Orks on ship got pumped!

There is some ancient lore about prime-Orks isn’t there? So this give GW the window to evolve Ghaz into a primarch character for the ork army. It’s looks like they are all getting one.
I do think it’s a bad ass model. I don’t collect Orks but may get it for the pleasure

We clearly need a size comparison chart for everyone in 40K to solve all these heigh questions.

Still going to tilt at this windmill about Ghazza being really diddy? Plus people ascribing human anatomy too to Orks. Have you not noticed the goriila-esq stances and bow legs...?
Anyways, the 3rd ed Ork codex gives a rough height chart for Orks. Note, all of these heights are from Orks standing in their normal stances. An Ork boy for example would tower over a guardsman and be about SM height if they stood up straight.
A typical Warboss is listed as 3m or just shy of 10ft tall.
A Nob is 8ft(ish)
A Skarboy is 7ft
A Boy is 6ft 5.
A Grot is just under 4ft tall.
Ghazkhull is bigger still, no height is given but he's slightly bigger than the normal Warboss mini (the heads of the models are compatible, so it is not a huge difference). so I'd got for a height of 12ft tall plus the extra mass from his Mega Armour.
