==Why Play Legions of Chaos==
Because why not. Seriously, you get all the fun toys that the old Horde of Chaos players used to get. You will make the old Neckbeards grin with joy once more. Warriors can now access the brilliant Skull Cannons of Khorne and the chaff Razorgors from the Beastmen book. Beastmen have access to infantry and units that are not utter shit and will not die in hordes of beer and vomit (and ambush now works like it should). Daemons now get their pick from both the other books like flanking core units, as well as trading their old Reign of Chaos chart for one in which only one result can directly hurt you.

If you are already playing a Beastmen or WoC army, there is no downside whatsoever to bringing in exterior units. Even though you are still forced to take magic items from respective books, there is nothing stopping your Beastlord from joining your unit of Chaos Warriors.   Daemons don't get as much of a boost, as Daemonic Alignment means your Daemonic character can only join Daemon units with the same mark, and does not benefit from Inspiring Presence or Hold Your Ground! (unless the models with those rules are Daemons with the same mark).  So it does not allow things like using Heralds of Slaanesh making to make Chaos Warriors always strike first.
