Starting with my favorite to least favorite factions 

KHORNE

Only one left really and I hope hes the FLC. Arbaal.

BEASTMEN

Ghorros, if not as a LL AT LEAST as a Cav focused LH

WARRIORS OR CHAOS

Vardek Crom (LH)?

NURGLE

Vanir the Reaper

The Glotkin

Gutrot Spume

TZEENTCH

Engrimm van Horstmann

Gaulrach (LH)?

SLAANESH (Some of these could be LHs too!)

Dechala

The Masque (LH)?

Vandred the Majestic (LH)?

NORSCA

Egil Styrborg

Haargroth

Alfric Cyanwulf

One of those "Meme" rules of the Varg or Skaeling would be funny, and a chance to be creative.

If these were all present as personalities either as LLs or as some references, LHs, I think Chaos would have PERFECT representation in this iteration of the Old World. And would be a true world ending threat to fear!

Did I miss any favorites? And Chaos fans, what do you think?

Khorne needs:

Skulltaker LL

Arbaal LL

Skarr Bloodwrath LL

Scyla Anfingrimm LH

Tzeentch needs:

Egrimm van Horstmann LL

Galrauch LL or LH

Nurgle needs:

Glottkin LL

Gutrot Spume LL or LH

Valnir is optional

Slaanesh needs:

Dechala LL

Masque LL or LH (preferably LH)

Styrkaar LL

WoC needs:

Vardek Crom LL

Archaon's Lieutenants LHs (Haargoth, Melekh, Feytor, Vandred)

Norsca needs:

Sayl LL

Mona Mimn LL

Egil Styrbjorn and Mortkin are optional LLs

Beastmen needs:

Ghorros LL

Moonclaw LL

Ungrol LH

Slugtongue is optional LH

Khorne- LL's Skarbrand, Skulltaker, Arbaal, Skaar LH's Skaar, Karanak

Tzeentch- LL's Kairos, Changeling, Egrimm, Galrauch LH's Aekold, Blue Scribes

Nurgle- LL's Kugath, Epidemius, Gutrot, Tamurkhan LH's Valnir, Maggot Riders

Slaanesh- N'kari, Masque, Nastaya, Dechala LH's Vandred, Styrkaar

That gives each of them a greater daemon, lesser daemon, mortal, and mutant lord option (Nurgle having more characters could also be the odd man out with Glottkin as well)

Beastmen- LL's Taurox, Khazrak, Malagor, Morghur, Ghorros, Ungrol LH's Moonclaw, Slugtongue

WoC- LL's Archaon, Kholek, Sigvald, Be'lakor, Valkia, Festus, Vilitch, Azazel, Crom

Norsca- LL's Wulfrik, Throgg, Egil, Sayl, Adella, Mona Mimn LH's Beorg, 

That's what I'd hope to see at least by the end

Hmmm... separating out "needs" and "wants":

1. Khorne: I think the game needs Skulltaker, and Scyla Anfingrimm (though the latter probably as a LH). Arbaal is a want, in that I want to see what CA can do with him. But if Arbaal never gets in, I won't weep and tear my garments. I also wouldn't mind Haargoth the Blooded, but that's stretching things pretty far, and Skarr Bloodwrath is a want as well (provided that the End Times stuff is on the table).
2. Tzeentch: Egrimm is a need, as is Galrauch (IMO as a LH). Classics.
3. Slaanesh: Dechala is too cool not to be in, and Masque is an 8th edition army book character so needs to be present. On the other hand, there aren't really even characters that I want for LH (like, I'll take Vandred or Styrkaar, but I'm not excited by them).
4. Nurgle: If the End Times stuff is okay, then the Brothers Glott are obviously a need, alongside the Maggoth Riders and Gutrot Spume. Personally, I really want Valnir the Reaper, and would be sad not to get him, but like Arbaal I don't think the game would feel "unfinished" for his lack.
5. Undivided: Sayl the Faithless feels like he should be in, though I'd put him just on the "want" side. Likewise Ghorros Warhoof. The rest of the Beastmen are lesser "wants" (can you really say that a character that never had a model is a "need"?).

Khorne also needs Skarr Bloodwarth and Norsca basically only needs Sayl and maaayybe Mortkin and Crom.

If you guys could only pick one between Glottkin or Gutrot, which would you pick?

And who would be good for Kurgan and Hung?

And they have "borrowed" mechanics from on LL to another before. I think Archaon SHOULD get his lieutenants similar to how Tamrakhan gets his chieftains.

I personally would go for Gutrot since he is the cooler character. But both should be LLs. 

What Chaos SHOULD have had(with complete inter-Race confederations between them):

Chaos Undivided

Lords:

1. Archaon

2. Vardek Crom

3. Sayl the Faithless

4. Kholek Suneater

5. Throgg

6. Be’lakor

Heroes:

1. Wulfrik the Wanderer

2. Mordrek the Damned

3. Harald Hammerstorm

I like Gutrot more because I tend to like the more infantry sized lords over the larger ones, but I think Glottkin would probably have a larger appeal and could have more done with the character.

Kurgan would be Sayl, Hung don't have any characters, and with people not wanting less known Norscan characters, can't really get a new Hung character either.

Great Book of Grudges over on Youtube recently showed a tweet by a developer who said Tzeentch would be getting another LL. But thats all he said. When and who were vague.

With Chaos monos being the primary focus of this DLC alongside Cathay and Kislev, I strongly believe that Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Slaanesh will get at least one more each. As for Khorne, it depends. If Arbaal is the FLC, they can be a wrap. But if he isnt, then he will be added down the road because he is a fan favorite and is highly requested. Has been since game one actually because fans wanted him in WoC. Personally, I think he fits better in the Mono factions, seeing how in all the novels he led more daemons than he did humans, which is weird for a Khornate Lord really, as its usually in the books Daemons leading daemon hordes and mortals leading mortals, with a touch of the opposites in either. (Archaon being an exception because hes just the big boss and can lead who he feels like LOL). If Arbaal caps it off, I'm content  and they can do whomever without a request or gripe from me concerning Khorne.

BUT they don't want a repeat of ordertide DLC from WH2. So I think they will spread some more mono stuff around as everyone else gets attention. But not much. Maybe a LL here, FLC lord there alongside the rest. I think the Empire could still use quite a bit, Cathay could go for maybe 1 or 2 more, Kislev needs love again at least once, and I HOPE they go over the old factions at least once more each. The only exceptions to this imo would be the Vampirates, Lizardmen (they have PLENTY of LLs! Reworks, maybe. Content no!) and the Skaven just need Thanquil really.

I rarely play anyone other than Dark Elves, Chaos, Beastmen and on the odd occasion, VCs. But I WANT these factions to expand to their full potential, because no body gets excited beating up generics with the same ol troops. The more they add, the more it helps immersion. I saw a guy on another platform complaing because all 3 in the upcoming DLC were destruction. I don't get that. Because everything expands the world and makes it a better playing field. So if any of you have a favorite of any faction, know that I am rooting for them to come along with you!

I'd rather have a completely made-up Hung character, over an obscure Norscan character.  The Kurgan and Hung represent fully 2/3rds of the Tribes of Chaos.

If we had a race called "Tribes of Chaos" you might have a point but the race is called Norsca, so Norsca is obviously the main focus of it. That's like complaining that a race called the "Ogre Kingdoms" doesn't have a Gnoblar and Yhetee character because they also represent the race.

Does Crom have any special gear, mounts, or rules that set him apart?

Nope. No unique personality, items, appearance, followers, abilities, or location. You can take a Chaos Lord, name the "Crom the Conquerer" and the character is implemented 99% lore accurate

Galrauch ll or bust, ths lh nonsense are people qho clearly didnt play them on the tt with theit bandwagon jumping.

Glottkin. Not even close.

Chaos characters that I want: Sayl the Faithless, Mordrek the Damned, Crom the Conqueror, Arbaal the Undefeated, Scyla Anfingrimm, Valnir the Reaper, Galrauch, Dechala the Denied One, Moonclaw, Molokh Slugtongue.

In a choice between Galrauch and Egrimm van Horstmann, Egrimm takes the cake 100% no contest. He fits in with both a deepened cult or a flesh lab mechanic with the trolls. He is a perfect DLC character to pit Tzeentch against the Empire (Empire should IMO face all Chaos Gods except Slaanesh in a DLC) and someone else. Galrauch's only advantage... is that he is 8th edition and could pull a Gorbad, which again nobody would be happy with.

If Tzeentch could get 4 LLs then by all means have Galrauch a LL as well, but in a choice, Egrimm van Horstmann MUST take priority.
