    Neferata please. Skaven has already been an interesting race while VC really needs more fun content to play.

    Everyone knows the iconics are bound to come. I’m more interested in the surprises. Hobgoblins? Khuresh? Fishmen?

    Thanquol, Neferata, Tamurkhan, Nagash… the classic fan favourites I guess.

    I mean Chaos Dwarfs themselves kinda fill up the "iconic content" themselves, especially with how hyped they have been basically since WH1's launch. But yeah, there is plenty of Iconic stuff I expect to see. Nagash and Thanquol being pretty high up.

    Whether we will see that much of it (outside CDs) this year is another question.

    Excited to see what suprises they have in store. Most possible races outside CDs at this point would count as a "suprise" as we are kinda off the beaten track for them after April. Outside DoW I guess but it will be a suprise in and of itself to see how they are implemented, if they are added. I reckon they will also include basically anything coming from Cathay or kislev as a "suprise" as there is no public armybook for them and we only have the little lore we have been told to go off of, especially with Cathay.

    Nagash, Thanquol........ Chaos Dwarves and Boris at a push.

    I don't think there's much 'iconic' left to be honest, that means it must have been a part of the folklore for generations to become an icon. Even the likes of Neferata that will get claimed a lot are hardly icons to the era, they're characters that are interesting prospects because of novels or newer versions of the games.

    But that's not a complaint; that's acknowledgement on how much CA have already accomplished. I hope they can bring the above characters as soon as possible (to stop the niggling [but very unfair to CA] 'incomplete' feeling) but it doesn't mean I wouldn't look forward to whatever else they can come up with beyond that.

    Considering that Neferata is probably THE most wanted LL in the community, I would say she’s pretty iconic.

    Iconic - Something that a person who is not a fan of the franchise, recognizes the franchise from.
    Formerly known as Yannir. Oaths have been taken.

    Icons are very often used in reference to Orthodox Christianity. The Orthodox branch of Christianity is dominant in Eastern Europe and Russia, meaning the part of the world that Kislev draws inspiration from.

    Thus the "iconic content" is clearly a sly way of saying that we're getting a Kislev DLC at some point. Obviously.

    I'm sorry, are you saying Boris Todbringer is more Iconic than the first vampire? I mean yeah Toddy is probably fairly iconic (though I am not sure how much of his popularity is due to the whole "TODDY!" thing from Yoggcast as I recall), but Neffy is a massively requested character and a longstanding part of the settings lore. Sure she is not as big a name as Thanquol, but she is a big named character.

    I'll have to see it to believe it on what they consider "iconic".

    Funny enough, I look to more less-well-known options for my own wantings. Egrimm van Horstmann is the most iconic of the bunch, but then we have stuff like Kraka Drak, Yin-Yin the Sea Dragon, the Arcanadon for the Lizardmen and a playable Chrace with Korhil in charge.

    If we got thanquol, Nagash, neferata, chorfs in the not too distant future, I think fans will be happy… and CA will be a financially better off

    Lol
    It needs to be pointed out that what people call "cheese" is just playing the game the way it actually exists not in some fictional way they think it is supposed to work.

    They’re probably going to keep some important characters for the future. The DLC development of this game will hopefully go on for 5+ years so realistically they probably won’t just spill all the most desired content in the first year or two.

    My guess is Thanquol comes in year 3. Too many other factions in line before Skaven get a fourth DLC.

    The first I thought was fear incarnate... Nagash. Then I immediately thought about Neferata and Drachenfels. W'soran, Ushoran and Abborash also come to my mind.

    Then Thanquol with Boneripper, with Verminlords and stormfiends.

    Of course, Egrimm van Horstmann, Arbaal the Undefeated, Dechala the Denied One, Valnir the Reaper, Tamurkhan, the Glottkin.

    And too many options from the Empire, Todbringer, Emil Valgeir, Kurt Helborg, Ludwig Schwartzhelm, Valten, Elspeth von Draken, the Mad Count...

    These are the most iconic names I can think of.
