With the last DLC release in May we are now in my opinion near halfway through the next DLC. I expect a launch in Sep. or Oct.
With that said everyone has there own opinion which races we will get in the next pack. I would like to know which LL per race you would like to see and please name only your favorite and in your opinon most likely candidate.
I think everyone of you agrees with me if i say that the DLC one of these races: Skaven, Dwarfs, Vampire counts, Dark Elves, Beastmen or Wood elves.
So here is my wish list for each race.
Skaven:
In my opinion it must be Clan Moulder with Throt the unclean. The only LL missing Clan in WH2, if you look at Eshins contracts.
Dwarfs:
Thorek Ironbrow is here my choice. I think he would fit well in the current map and will give the dawi a hard SP in ME with the GS from the left and the Skaven south and the HE east. Also i think he would give the Runelord a proper LL.
Vampire counts:
Neferata is here my choice. I think she would fit well in the current game. Maybe expand the map a little in the east and she can have here lore SP. Also she is already mentioned in the game. (Khalida)
Dark Elves:
In my opinion this race should only get FLC from now on. There is not much missing in there roster. My choice here would be Rakarth. He would be the LL for the Beastmaster from the S&B DLC.
Beastmen:
Taurox is here in my opinion the obvious choice. He would be unique in the BM roster and is the favorite by many of us.
Wood elves:
My hope here are the Twilight Sisters Naestra and Arahan. They would give the WE a very unique LL and give them finally a different SP. Hopefully in the Laurelorn forest.
So these are my guesses and hopes for the next LL. What are you choices?

0 · Disagree AgreeWould love some Dawi content too but really don’t think they belong on the vortex map, especially not on Naggaroth...
For me characters like Thorek, Malakai, Neferata and Taurox are more WH3 material.

3 · Disagree AgreeIf somobody should start in Naggaroth. It will be Grombindal. After all, He has grudge against Malekith.

0 · Disagree AgreeSkaven would obviously be Throt because Moulder is the only major Clan that's still missing.
For VC I'd say Konrad von Carstein (I'd kind of like to see him in a lord pack with Marius Leitdorf, basically a battle of the Lunatics)
Gotta be honest, I really don't care for DE, they've got a pretty complete roster anyways.
My choice for the Beastmen would be Ghorros, though Taurox would probably be more popular. Maybe Taurox as main with Ghorros as an FLC lord.
For WE either Arielle or the Twilight Sisters. Arielle is arguably more important of a character but she'd just be another legendary sorceress type alongside Alarielle and the Fae Enchantress. Twilight Sisters would be interesting in how they could be implemented. I'm personally thinking of a Skarsnik type situation where they basically both count as a shared single entity.

1 · Disagree AgreeAlso would have liked to see Walach Harkon for VC at some point, since his bud is already in the game and his new mechanics could have been given to the Red Duke too, giving the perfect opportunity to make him a proper LL instead of a unique lord.

0 · Disagree AgreeThe last LPs were all focused on one of the continents.
- H&B: Lustria
- S&B: Southlands
- W&P: Ulthuan
Now let’s check the number of LLs for each continent:
- Lustria: 10
- Southlands: 10
- Ulthuan: 4
- Naggaroth: 8
So considering that Ulthuan is not really a continent it would be fine with 5 LLs while all the others are on 10.
Keeping all that together it’s realistic to assume that we will get a LP focused on Naggaroth and a DE FLC in Ulthuan.
At this point I would say it’s almost guaranteed that the next LP will be in Naggaroth.

0 · Disagree AgreeShe is clear WH3 material.
Just think about the potential map, then we can see that Lahmia will probably be on the WH3 stand alone map anyways.

2 · Disagree AgreeNothing is guaranteed. It is simple more easy to add more legendary lords to Lustria or Southlands. Many races have own colonies in this area.
I doubt CA care about how many legendary lords are on Lustria or Naggaroth. West Naggaroth is simple wasteland without many options for new legendary lords except 6th Skaven legendary lord. Silver Pinnacle can easy be add to Mortal Empire map.

1 · Disagree AgreeYes they could add the Silver Pinnacle for ME and then it would be on the very edge of the map squished between Karak Kadrin and Azhag. Awesome start position right? No.
Furthermore would that not fix the problem of Neferatas start position in the Vortex. Her main narrative campaign would have to be there and without Lahmia, the Pinnacle and Lybaras it makes little sense for her to be added.
Just be realistic, she is WH3 material and won’t come in WH2.
Let’s just check the potential WH3 stand alone map. Let’s also completely ignore the Far East question for a second and just look at the map.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Lahmia wasn’t on the Vortex map,it’s only in ME just like Nagashizzar for example. So just like Nagashizzar, Crookback Mountain or the Dragon Islands, it will most likely be part of the WH3 stand alone map.
Here we have the Silver Pinnacle, Lahmia and Lybaras on the map as well as Nagashizzar.
Neferata simply makes more sense in WH3.

1 · Disagree AgreeSkaven: Throt
Dwarfs: Malakai or Grimm
FLC:
Vampire Counts: Vorag or Ushoran
or
Dark Elves: Rakath
or
Lizardmen: Tetto'eko
or
Skaven: Thanquol and Boneripper (could be a part of game 3 pre-order or promo character)

1 · Disagree AgreeAnd after you all have given your prediciton here is mine:
Skaven Throt vs. Thorek Dawi with Dark Elves Rakarth FLC.
And Last DLC (pre-order) should be Wood elves vs Beastmen with Vampire FLC

1 · Disagree AgreeIf Vamps will get some love in WH2 it will be either a (Ushoran/Vorag) with the Strygos Empire or Zacharias with the Necrarch brotherhood.
If it’s a VC FLC it’s Ushoran, if it’s a LP it’s Zacharias. But wasting Neffy now would just be dumb and a huge waste of potential.
- Report
0 · Disagree AgreeBut I am hoping for 2 of these 3: Thrott, Zacharius or Taurox.
- Report
0 · Disagree AgreeBut if we're discussing wishes, It's also the only NPC clan that still has a clanstone programmed in while other NPC Skaven clans don't. Every clan currently playable had a clanstone programmed in since release with Clan Moulder also being among them but are yet to be playable. It stands to reason that they will come as well. I think he's FLC but otherwise, sure.
I, however, expect Josef Bugman, although not necessarily as an LL. Still, I do like him more than other options since he's the last of the White Dwarf trio, namely him, Grombrindal and Gotrek. An LL would be Grimm Burloksson for me. No, Neferata fits in game 3. Her current capital of Silver Pinnacle is poised to jump into game 3. Khalida mentions her, sure, but she mostly focuses on other Vampires in her campaigns. Neferata is a distant threat. For me it's Gashnag. I would consider Tullaris a valid option. As he did invade Ulthuan at one point more recently he makes sense for the DE LL who start on Ulthuan. Otherwise, yeah, Rakarth works. Honestly, I'm not too bothered who DE get one day. It is, therefore, unfortunate for many of you that Ghorros will take over and Taurox will be left out. Drycha is preferable, imo. Her defiance of the elves would make for a much more interesting narrative campaign. Although I'm not sure how exactly all these characters would ultimately play out, she is the only one that would probably be built with the idea of making her a functional faction outside of Athel Loren, whatever that entails. As such, she gets my seal of approval, although I do imagine that either Araloth or the Sisters might take the cake sooner than her.

1 · Disagree AgreeThrot vs any engineer dwarf lord with machine/range focus

2 · Disagree AgreeAlso if we're talking about wishes, I'd like the FLC to be another BM lord to accompany a potential rework, but I realize the other races could use a new LL as well. Vampires Counts and Dwarfs could benefit more from new units, so while I find them to be more interesting options than the Dark Elves I feel like the latter makes more sense for an FLC as I don't know of much else that can be added for them (I'm sure someone can think of some units though).
