Is that still a thing? The original announcement was for that to apply to January and February. Have they said anything about how they want to progress in March?

They have not, but the release dates were:
January 16th
January 30th
February 13th
February 27th

Our last set of fortnightly releases should be coming out on March 13th, where we go from there remains to be seen.

Still no confirmation if he's an ogor or not haha. Just that he had a horde of them to help.

On the contrary, it says quite clearly several times that he is a wolf… somehow.

Not once has he been referred to as an Ogor in the fluff. A curious omission if he were one. I still don’t think he is.

I'm pretty much in that boat too. It's enough for me that this 'looks and feels' like old-world Fantasy, with that Mordheim/gothic vibe running through it. The story can be some heroes going into a dungeon that was near Reikland, taking on a powerful Necromancer or Wight Lord, and is something that I can immediately grasp with my limited imagination!

It fits quite nicely into the pre Vampire Wars Old War era where Vlad had taken over that entire region of the Empire and was acting all friendly/protecting the local populace while secretly turning nobles into Vampires... eventually he reached that tipping point and started invading the Empire with all his undead. In fact, his story sounds eeeeeriliy familar...

So he became vampire after raiding the vampire tomb? The Blood kiss is cursed?

"Radukar killed the twin-headed wolf Vilnas with his bare hands to claim an ensorcelled barrow-blade and prove himself worthy of the Blood Kiss."

Sounds like he may have gone there seeking the blood kiss.

I think the guys on the preview miss-spoke when saying he was an ogor himself now, his face, proportions etc don't indicate he is, especially in the artwork.

Also, the fortnightly release schedule may be in place for some time. The return of normal working practices in the UK is not on course to change until late June, however as many businesses are being allowed to open back up from early April, it could speed up to normal weekly releases between April and the end of June... This is all clinched on the vaccine rollout continuing without any hiccups though in the UK.

Was wondering how he became a vampire, either the wolf transmit it, or because the sword is cursed, or maybe some vampire inside the tomb....

They called him an Ogor on the preview show. The more important thing seems to be that he's a vampire, not who he was before.

The artwork actually points more towards Ogor than not.

Solved.

So he's... mirror-universe Leman Russ?

I don’t think he’s an Ogre any more. I think it would’ve come up in the 2 lore articles if he were.

Warhammer Community posted on Facebook that he wasn't an Ogor... but also didn't say that he was human...

God, I hope so.

The book intrigues me. Looks like it's set before he fully takes over the city, and the only character from the game is Brienne of Tarth, since that's a different looking Death Wizard and the Witch Hunter has both eyes, a different hat, and may possibly be a woman? Wonder who the mysterious ninth player will be?

Warhammer Community did not post that. The AoS Facebook page did...which has had issues with this kind of stuff before.

Whether or not he's an Ogor, I just want those wolves to be made available to the Stormcast.

Is the Community team not in charge of their social media pages?

I feel like he is an ogor, but I also feel like it's a big enough point that they would have mentioned it in his bio or something. At the very least, the book will confirm it. If he's an ogor, there's no way they won't say it at least once. Or describe him as a man "nearly as tall and broad as the ogors that served him" if he was just a human

Last I heard, the Community team is different to the web team that handles the social media stuff.

Ogre recently in WFRP 4th was not disimilar in build and they seem to working quite closely with GW - they had some nice stuff tied in with Broken Realms in Soulbound about Anvilguard.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the correction!

They can declare him anything they want, although, yes you have to be careful about using GW's myriad Facebook pages as official information. He is nonetheless much, much bigger than a man, and sculpted as an ogre.

He’s about as much bigger as a man as he is smaller than the other Ogre, in that picture.

His base seems larger than the one the undead ogre is on. Aren't wider bases a bit taller than smaller ones? I'm pretty sure 25/28mm are a bit shorter(flatter) than the 32mm, not sure if this trend continues through to larger bases like 40mm though. If it does would that make him larger or shorter?

Would be weird to have him so much shorter than the other Ogor, if he's indeed an ogor. especially since for GW, size equals power

Is just me or the skeleton character is... extremely small in that comparison? Compared with the witch hunter for example. Like, the top of his skulls reachs the witchhunter eyes and hes on TOP of a rock.
