The fact that Rich said that they looked in all the books of GW and couldn't find a suitable hero, means it's possible that GW just wouldn't ok some of their choices.

Yeah, I definitely got those vibes too. It just seems really weird that they would OK something from end times but not be willing to give them anything to work with for generic heroes. :/

Just really weird and confusing to me. Too bad they don't/can't tell us when this happens. I'm sure people would understand.

Yeah, this is absolutely on GW. They wont let them add a new generic hero.

It probably says that since Tzinch, Slaanesh and Nurgle have their own mages as lords and heroes, it's likely that GW didn't give anything for Khorne and when I saw Skarr I was of course surprised, but as for the minor lord, maybe it will be a Priest of Slaugther and maybe GW gave him the right but didn't give him a hero due to lack of material, which could be the case

Not much you can add with no casters.

A Hero version of a Bloodfather is basically a Cultist.

Minotaur Hero would be such a low hanging fruit for CA... Seeing Skarr wasted as a LH is just sad. 

Yeah, Gorebull of Khorne seems really obvious. Gives a monstrous hero option, doesn't lead armies. 

Must be a GW thing.

This.

Maybe they made a "Cultist type" lord and with the hero version already existing, they are stuck.

They probably didn’t want to be in a situation where they add a marked beastmen generic character for one Monogod, and don’t add one for the rest.

Here is how one could've done Khorne:

Doombull, or Bloodbull if you want to change the name, with a Greatweapon. Greatweapon Minotaurs are anti-large and boom, you have an anti-large generic for Khorne that also works to put in the Beastmen roster (considering the regular is a boxer for some reason).

Change the Exalted Hero of Khorne to instead wield a anti-large Halberd, leaving Axe&Shield to the Cultist.

Gorebull of Khorne with dual axes. Dual axes Minotaurs are anti-infantry and what do you know, it also works in the Beastmen roster because the Gorebull regular is a Greatweapon.

I realized something else about this: Warriors of Chaos only have a whopping ONE Khorne hero option... They also don't even get access to the warshrine of Khorne as a mount option for ANY character whereas the other monos get them on their sorcerers. They could make the cultists available to WoC to make up for this but personally I think it would be better to have something new fit here. Look at valkia's options for lords and heroes compared to literally any of the others.

So what? You can always get it as a unit.

WoC are fine when it comes to marked heroes (except for the lack of Exalted Hero with Mark of Slaanesh).

Runes are are a part of the Dwarfs, this is canon, deep in their entity and ga.eplay (even find CA not did enough)

Is it no near comparable, to making a semi caster for khorne who hate then deep in his being.

Not get me wrong bery likely that the lord they wanna suprise us with 

Still saying dwarf are ruin because Rune lord is a giant stretch

and Bloodfathers and Bloodspeakers are a part of the canon as well.

it is in fact comparable. A rune system that functions pretty much like magic, and a prayers system are comparable.

and saying Khorne would be ruined because of priests is also a stretch.
