The three icons for Creature cards - Damage, Soak and Defense. I can see that Damage is a claw, Soak is a blow hitting a shield, but what the hell is that inpenetrable squiggle supposed to represent for Defence?
What is that icon anyway?
I think it's some kind of dodgeing skaven or something, I could not double check though, as I don't have my books/cards here.
It's a dodging skaven, you have to squint, look sideways and down a shot of absinth to see it.
Terrible icon design, I can never remember which is which between soak and defense.

agree.
is there a key online anywhere? i always forget to organise myself and am flipping through the creature guide looking for it
Yes. I can understand why they found it hard to differentiate visually between soak and defense. Only clear alternative for defense that I could think of would be two raised fists.
Its actually the first time in WFRP v3 where the graphics drop the ball. That's saying something considering the amount of stuff release,
Yup - it's the silhouette of the Gutter Runner near as I can tell.
Rattenmenschen (Skaven) existieren nicht !!!

I usually think of the skaven when differentiating between the two icons. I see scavens as low-soak, high-agility rodents. Then it is easy to interpret the "skaven icon" as defence (rather than soak) and which automatically makes the other one soak. Works well for me, try it.
