Chaos Lord
An HQ choice for the Chaos Space Marines, in the game of Warhammer 40,000. They are basically like the traitor counterpart to a Space Marine captain or Chapter Master. They are very powerful, but they want more.
Types of Lords
The chaos lords usually worship a god whether he(or he-she in the case of Slaanesh) be Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle or Slaanesh.
Here are the following lords of the Chaos gods.
Lord of Khorne: A crazed maniac who drinks blood, and eats whatever he just killed. Raw. They like using ECKSBAWKS HUEG battle-axes and swords and mauls and all that shit, and are generally the most savage and physically strongest Chaos Lords. Ironically though, they secretly love kitty cats. Kharn is the craziest motherfucker of all Khorne Lords, who'll kill you in his psychotic blood-lusting rage, but damn is he a great guy.
Lord of Tzeentch: Some douche-bag sorcerer who got his first magic-tricks set for Christmas from Tzeentch. A notable Lord of Tzeentch is Ahriman of the Thousand Sons. Usually spellcasters who ignores armor and cover, causing much BAW.
Lord of Nurgle: Some disease filled piece of flesh. Better not give him a hug, or have any physical contact whatsoever, because you'll probably get some disease worse than AIDS. Typhus is a notable Lord of Nurgle.
Lord of Slaanesh: A drug-addicted pedophile, not unlike the Dark Eldar. Which means he's got the biggest drug stash and the most bitches. Lucius the Eternal is a Slaanesh Lord.
Lord of Chaos Undivided: Some wannabe guy who has yet to be hired by a Ruinous Power.
Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers: A Chaplain who has fallen to Chaos.
Chaos Terminator Lord: Chaos Lords of any alignment of Chaos wearing Terminator Armor.This makes even more powerful and more badass.
Warhammer Fantasy's Types of Chaos Lords
Champions/Exalted Champions of Khorne: A blood-crazed maniac, not entirely unlike the lords of 40K; however, they all also act like Conan the Barbarian, except with huge armor and an even huger battleaxe/greatsword. Known for their tremendous strength, bloodlust, and balls-of-steel manliness. May also secretly like kittens, but alas, there are few kittens in the Old World. A prominent example of Khornate Exalted Champions is Arbaal the Undefeated.
Champions/Exalted Champions of Tzeentch: Douche-bag sorcerers, just like the ones in 40k, but the main difference is that they wear XBAWX HUEG ARMOR.
Champions/Exalted Champions of Nurgle: Just like the ones from 40k. The only difference is that they have difficulty getting into their armor on account of their festering, huge, disgusting bellies. They will go out of their ways to hug you. An example would be Festus, the leechlord.
Champions/Exalted Champions of Slaanesh: Same as 40k but the horrors of slaanesh seem to have deadened their fear, they will never break, and they are also described as very vain in the fantasy universe. An example would be Sigvald, the magnificent.
Champions/Exalted Champions of Chaos Undivided: See above.
Chaos Lords in DoW II
He's dedicated to Khorne, so that pretty much makes him a close-quarters monster. With goddamn health regeneration. At level one, with no wargear, he can easily take down anything short of a Howling Banshee squad. Give him his Lightning Claws/Blood Maul he'll become, without exception, the most lethal melee commander unit in the game. Srsly, he'll outdamage the Warboss and Hive Tyrant. This combind with his immunity to suppression from the get go, his fucktons of health (srsly, only the Hive Tyrant has more, and that only by a hairs breadth) and his aforementioned health draining (Kill the Weak!) makes him one of the best (if not THE best) commanders in the game.
Also: FUCKING TERMINATOR ARMOR.
