Alternate Heroes are cosmetics designed to replace the default Hero portrait of the class. These alternate skins do not affect the gameplay, but merely add visual diversity to the game. All of them, apart from the 1000-win alternate portrait of the default hero, come with a unique set of emotes, and some of them also have their own thematic card backs. In this guide, we'll explain how to obtain Death Knight's alternate Heroes which can be used to replace the default Hero, The Lich King.
For Death Knight, five alternate Hero skins exist:

Comments
Perhaps I missed the news, but did they already announce whether a Death Knight portrait would be added as a level 100 rewards track choice?
I am inclined to wait for this and refrain from claiming my next portrait in a few more days.
Considering they didn't add it with the current track, my guess is it's gonna get added with the next one
