Chaos got more changes than anyone to their lore, so buckle up. Due to the overlap of Chaos lore, further relevant information may be found in the Daemons entry and to combat article bloat info will mostly be stated once in whichever entry it is more relevant. Fans of these armies are recommended to read both.  

* Warriors only appeared in the eighth age after the Dark Gods gained direct access to the world due to the magical backlash of the (Chaos Dwarf) Inferno. They were beat back by (female Sigmar) reborn. 
* Female Warriors aren't uncommon. Since Warrior bands often come from any existing group in addition to their own ethnic groups, a Warriors army can be made or kitbashed from any existing faction and/or cultural background desired. 
* Warriors are far less cruel than Warhammer Warriors, with slavery more resembling that of real life vikings. In particular killing slaves provides no honor, so unless they are sacrifices to a Dark God or involved in a ritual then they exist simply as laborers. 
* Warriors are far more selfish. Unlike in WFB where the Warriors Of Chaos serve the gods because it is their cultural background and hope to be rewarded, Warriors Of The Dark Gods are often the founders or recruited by a founder of a new cult that springs up when the Dark Gods start handing out gifts. Faith is directly tied to benefits, and the Dark Gods let them go freely. But gifts are taken back quickly, since in all example stories the Warriors don't live very long although the faith in getting a continued reward past death or a lack of concern for their own well-being keep them plodding along regardless. According to the writers, the Warriors are also supposed to remain emotional characters compared to the monolithic supreme badass entities that Warriors became when their backstories were over in WFB. 
* While most come from the Wasteland, Warriors have set up cities around the world where the Veil is weakest. This includes an oasis in the Great Desert. These cities are far less like the wandering warbands or small villages of the Warriors Of Chaos and more akin to human versions of the Chaos Dwarfs.
