I can sadly only vote for 1 Race. 


My hopes and expectations are Slaanesh x HE x DE but it wouldn't surprise me if its Cathay or even Bretonnia as the third race.

It is of course possible but I strongly doubt that CA will have 2 chaos races in 1 DLC. That is simply not how these DLCs are designed. The formula is 1 Chaos vs 2 not chaos races. 


Its much better to safe Norsca as the Bad Chaos Race for another DLC after the DoW.

Not really convinced High Elves are going to be in there at all. What do HE have to do with the excess or the seduction that are central themes to Slaanesh and possibly this upcoming DLC? Because loose common themes are as, if not more, important in game 3 DLC's than rivalries are. While HE have rivalries with Dechala, you can argue that she's equally pissed at the Dark kind of Elf. Her fall to Chaos happens during the Elf schism.

Not saying they aren't in there either. I just don't think it's 100% certain despite the community having convinced themselves that it is. Also because the remaining HE have a maritime theme, I think they're going to feature in a DLC where that is the central theme, along with Cathay and Norsca.

Which is why I think that this DLC will feature Dark Elves and Vampire Counts along with Slaanesh. The only problem with that is lack of appeal since none of these are among the most popular races though the Undead certainly have their fanbase. But I think they'll try and remedy that by having the VC LL be Neferata, one of the most iconic characters still missing from the game.

So while I'm not convinced the HE are in there, I won't eat my hat if they are.

Uff where do I even start lol.... 


Because Slaanesh mainly cares about Elven Souls.


Because HE suffer a lot from Slaaneshs Seduction.


Because Slaanesh Cults are a major issue on Ulthuan. 


Because HE are one of the most excessive and emotional species in the WH world. 


Because Dechala herself is a former Elf Princess with a personal vendetta against High Elves and Ulthuan. 





Dechala vs a HE LL is as thematic as Tamurkhan agsinst Elspeth. or like Skaven vs LM or Dwarfs vs GS.

I'm not arguing with you again lol. But all of those points apply equally if not better to Dark Elves.

As this thread is about what people want rather than what makes sense, I'll let you have this one.

I also think trying to guess what races (and characters) we get, depends on if CA decide to try and have them connected at all. While that was one of the complaints of OoD I saw, there's no guarantee that CA want them to have connections. We could get 3 characters (or races) with no interactions at all (though I don't think that's something very popular with the community)

Thats why I expect both of them. The thing is that HE have a much more obvious DLC left content wise.

I still think Slaanesh  /High Elves (Aislinn) / Cathay (Monkey King) as having a good chance of coming and having my preference. Instead of Cathay, Norsca or Dark Elves seem possible.

High Elves. Always High Elves. Every DLC should contain High Elves.

I want to see the Asur led by either the Blessed of Asuryan or the Chosen of Asuryan. Ideally, I want to see both, one as LL, and other as LH.


That being said, I do not really care all that much if they appear in the upcoming DLC.

I voted Bretonia more because I want them to be updated and less that I expect it.
Their roster is too limited and they dearly need another lord and 1-2 hero options as well as a mechanic overhaul.

Think? No clue, probably Cathay.


Want? Vampire Counts. They are there since Game 1 and have only ever been featured in a single DLC with one of the most boring LL's in the entire Series so far.

And only 2 new Units really, i don't call RoR new Units and 3 Variations of Corpse Carts is still just one new Unit in my book. I like the Mortis Engine tho.

And that DLC will be ~9 years old by the time the next DLC arrives.

They definitely deserve it more than ANY other race in the entire game in my opinion. They are the most one sided faction battle wise that exists. 


My 2nd want would be Bretonnia, one FLC LL whose entire specialty is "Doesn't get Desert attrition for 5 turns if you spend 5 turns doing nothing in a settlement". And i would love to see someone like Bertrand the Brigant in it.


3rd and final Want where i personally have strong opinions on, Tomb Kings. Ngl no other reason than that i just really want the Khemric Titan and Prince Apophas


I personally could not care less about Norsca. I even forget most of the time that they are an actual playable faction. Chuck them into WoC and i wouldn't bat an eye

I can't imagine Slaanesh without HE. 


However, concerning the 3rd race... I have been on the team SvsHEvsDE for a long time. But I think we could get also VC or LM. Or even Bretonnia ?
