Each of their number has been touched by Nurgle via his earthly emissaries – specifically, the daemonflies that have hatched from within the Chaos champion Bloab Rotspawned ever since the Lord of Decay claimed the sorcerer as a host for his tiny servants

As someone who collected a Fantasy Chaos army many years ago this would be a blast to play!

I voted Beastfiend because its the more different alternative to the others.

EDITED: And I love that you included the Druchii Annointed. That’s something which seems to have fallen by the wayside as they are not, to my knowledge, included in the Warhammer Total War games despite the sheer coolness of that concept. They should totally be a Lord choice for the Cult of Slaanesh.

Now that I realise, I should also have put a Chaos Dwarf as option

Well, first off I want to say that I am impressed by the sheer effort you put into your posts and also the endurance at which you keep making them.

That said, I have two “meta-questions” concerning the topic:

  1. Where does the motivation come from to play as the “evil” one? Games like Tyranny, GTA or that Vampire game whose name I can’t remember did never create any interest in me. Not saying that I prefer playing heroes but it is at least a setting which does not make me disinterested in a game.

  2. Is there any reference for something like this in WHF? Because in most fantasy settings (medieval and sci-fi both) it is usually the case that “evil” is the numerous faction and building on quantity over quality. Aliens, Zerg, the Starship Troopers insects, Skaven, etc., everytime they win or try to win by sheer mass and it is usually a smaller group of good-aligned folks surviving against the odds while being heavily outnumbered. Is there a case known of Chaos Heroes being outnumbered by forces or order and winning. Is there even a single battle where this has been the starting set-up? I mean that said, in a sense for trope breaking it would be interesting to base something on such a scenario. But most races relying on numbers are usually build up like that from lore, often by replicating quite fast. Humans, Dwarves and Elves are simply not available in these quantities. Not sure on Lizardmen lore which is basis for your post.

I can’t really say for sure, I suppose it depend for everyone but personally:

  • I like Chaos dudes (From Fantasy, not so much in 40k)
  • I like flawed characters
    But at the same time, there are acts that I just can’t do, like I’m going to drop the game if it tries to make me do them

And most of the time I also prefer playing the Heroes (Like VT1/2) and I’ve also made a few ideas where the player character were heroes (Dreadtide: Grand Alliance against Dreadfleet; Bostontide: Dresden Files Alliance against the Fomor)

The LM’s are quite a numerous race, not as much as the Skaven but certainly as much as a Chaos Warrior (If you count Skinks) and their number have only decreased with time. And as far as it goes for the Small Evil Group winning against major Good horde, I don’t think there has been anything like that, but there has been with with Evil vs. Evil when different gods are battling each others
While the ET might have had something of the sort though. Not sure about that one. And it’s hardly lore breaking, at least not more than it would be for the U5 to kill the amount of Skaven and Rotblood
