I'm not happy with Gorbad as the LL but it is what it is, lets be positive. If CA creates a believable reason for how he survived the last 800 years, I can live with it and maybe even enjoy him. He has a cool model after all.
I just hope they won't go the lazy route and be like "He was just there all the time, chilling." That would be lame and immersion breaking for me and immersion is key, at least me.
So here is my personal take on how he survived the last 800 years:
"Despite his defeat in the Empire, Khorne was so impressed by Gorbad that he sucked him into the realm of chaos to fight on his eternal battlefield. Gorbad fought for millenia and as a revard Khorne let him out into the Mortal world again to collect more skulls and spill more blood."
That would be believable and make sense in-universe and it would also be thematic for the entire DLC being Khorne focused. Something similar happened to Oxyotl to after all.
What are you hoping for to be the reason for Gorbads survival?

Im not mad about Gorbad... I mean he had 8 edition rules so...
But yeah, I would have prefered Gorfang or Morglum. Idk why they choose him over Gorfang Rotgut ! Probably because he is more ''known'' ?
But at least we will get a mixed greenskins bag, so units wise it's probably good.
I don't know if they will use any argument to say ''he is back''. We will see. Technicaly Jeanne and Grom are also not at the time of KF reign, but 800 years is a biiiit... more for Gorbad. But after all, orcs have a long longevity if they dont die right ?

Gorfang is already in the game.
Lets not derail the thread please. I posted this not to complain but to speculate on how CA could explain his survival. Their explanation for Repanse was really believable after all.

I have a feeling it'll just be he recovered from his wounds and is back and 'arder than evah! But I admit that story would be very cool.
I hope its not just that. It worked for Grom who was only AWOL for 50 years. But licking your wounds for 800 years would be really odd. Orcs are technically immortasl but being around for 800 years without any notable feats would be really weird for an Orc.

Gorbad being stuck fighting in Khorne's realm and then time travelling to the current era due to Chaos shenanigans is for the moment the only explanation that I find good enough. I hope CA will state it somewhere and tie this loose end.
After loosing my boy Grimm, here goes my buddy Gorfang ...

agreed, this would be the most satisfactory explanation and appropriate for the DLC theme

There was an explanation for Repanse (at least in game 2). She basically ascended as the Lady's champion, went to her realm (hence her abscence) and came back as a sort of immortal being.

He went to Cathay and has been causing problems over there since his defeat, that's why no one has heard of him in the Old World and how he has survived, he simply never stopped fighting, he just went elsewhere.

And then we get diplomatic buffs between Gorbad and Oxyotl because they became guerrilla buddies while fighting against Khornate demons (kidding but the idea made me laugh).

Him being abroad in the east, maybe even Ind or Khuresh could also work. It would still be odd that an Orc gets so old tho.

Whatever CA will say, that will be my personal head canon now. Love it!

A LH should never replace a LL. Generic lord & hero options for all races involved in a DLC. May Tzeentch change the ways for the better.
