New Blood Bowl teams for 4th edition

I'm only just recently back involved with Blood Bowl, but I seem to be hooked more than ever. Got myself the new rule book and trying to absorb as much as quickly as possible. One thing that piques my interest is talk of new teams. I've heard rumours of the following teams:

Bretonians
Vampires
Nurgle
Ogres/Snotlings

I wondered if anyone could shed some light on whether these teams/races will be officially released by GW (meaning their own figure range) or whether its just net rumours. Are there any more being planned, other than the ones i've mentioned?

Personally I cant see the point in Bretonians. Humans in armour = see every other human team. But then I guess norse are just humans from another region.

And if Nurgle, what about the other chaos powers?

So many questions...so little time.

Vampires are in BB Mag #4, but no models yet.

Previews of Nurgles Rotters models were on the GW BB site, and the Orge model previews are there now.

Ok, the new Ogre models will bring new 'experimental' rules to go alongside them.
The Nurgle's Rotters figures are apparently just alternate Chaos figures at present, no special rules planned as yet.
Vamps, as Darkson said, BB Mag 4. Again, no figures as yet.
Snots: Nothing as yet, but I reckon public demand will see them return at some point in the future.

you can check blood-bowl.net for teams like bretonian under the section on articles from GW stuff.
On the same page you can find the snotling rules (which are very funny)
