Sorry about all the annoying questions, but I am trying to get ready for my first Tourny in about 3 years and I don't really have a good group to play test against/bounce Ideas off of so I am using you fine fellows in hopes of getting some answers.

In the new chaos codex it doesn't state what the heck an Icon actually is. Is it a standard and would therefore take up a hand to use? Is it akin to a boss pole and so you can just stick it on the back of a backpack and call it good?

Bassically what are they and how have you all decided to represent them in your army lists?

Thanks for the help,
Servo
