CA added some nice looking units, but what happened to the "thematic emphasis" of the update ? The Frost Wyrm is clearly for the Ice Court, so is the Golden Knight. Druzhinas and Kislevite warriors are basic rural guys, so I can accept them working for the hag witch, even tho their description litteraly say they worship the Tzar, but she can still recruit Boyars and Ice witches.
And what about every other Kislev factions using Balewolves and Incarnates ? It seems like CA didn't adress at all the big issue with Ostankya, she doesn't mix with the rest of Kislev
Yeah, I found that hilarious. They made a big deal of thematic updates, then added the Golden Knight and a dragon made of ice while also kicking away the Ungol Horse Archers for good. Really poor showing.

There is no more thematic stuff to add, simple as that.
Yep, CA/GW had "creativity" for a generic ice monster #534, but somehow Hag/Wood/Spirits of the Land theme is totally exausted now, no way they could come up with something original. Oh, right, I forgot, it's nuKislev, "original" does not go hand-in-hand with it.
I'm hoping the short story on Monday will help Ostankya make sense.
But Kislev since the release of WH3 hasn't made much sense. Yuri was an Ungol Prince in the story, and there's references to Ungols in the unit cards etc, but now they're not doing that anymore. Kostaltyn wants to kill all magic users but recruits them into his armies (and they're happy to join him). There's a civil war because of the power vacuum when Boris died, but it turned out he wasn't dead but they'll continue the civil war anyway. Chaos creatures are now in the roster of the bulwark against chaos. Only Ice Court trained witches are allowed, but we'll recruit hags anyway etc etc

I mean, it was exhausted from the beginning, considering that CA had to include two monster units that had nothing to do with Kislev.

This. Basically all of the old spirit stuff has been expunged in favor of the Incarnate. Looks like GW was uninterested in making new models for RPG stuff. They either repurposed old models or made new models from whole cloth. If we do get a second DLC I'd wager it'll be powder or Orthodoxy focused (though some of the blog language could be read to imply their isn't much left for Kislev).

nuKislev is a mess and CA/GW just continues with the theme. Lol'd at "no Hag Mother lords" because Osty is unique, yet we have Kroxigor/Skink/Skaven Assassin/Hunter lords anyway.
I have the feeling that the theme thing is going to be in effect in future DLCs, the content additions for SoC being more about what they could scramble together than a coherent theme.

Though seriously what even is the theme of the DLC? It's a bit all over the place and the theme seems to be more focused on the lords then the entire DLC.

Yep they fuck it up again, no Huts, no Hags, no Frost fiend but something alling with the ice Court, the Ursun cult girl with no bear mount which looks like basic inespecific generic lord I can't even identify her as a woman and the druzhina character have the same feeling about leading MO armies than the boyars I guess its perfectly fine for leading armies of kislevites chaff. Hag lore the and the sled only things saving the day, maybe the steeds are a little bit off, like very nude, it's kislev they will catch a cold
