== Recruitment ==
*Selecting any Settlement and recruiting them in the Lord Recruit tab
== Description ==
Of all the mortal warriors across the civilisations of the world, Chaos Lords are the most feared, for they are truly like gods amongst men. Clad in baroque armour and rich furs, they tower above even other champions of Chaos, who are but feeble children by comparison. A Chaos Lord's indomitable will is forged in the fires of war, their skills tempered and honed in the crucible of battle, and their blades eternally quenched in blood. They are not only exceptional fighters but also merciless conquerors, great leaders and wily strategists, their names spoken in hushed whispers across the lands of the civilised, their violent deeds written in the blood of their enemies.

The Chaos lord is the generic fighter lord. Usually it is overshadowed by Legendary Lords or the Chaos Sorcerer Lord. However, the Chaos Lord does have some utility. Over the Legendary Lords it can be put on a flying terror causing mount in the manticore and Chaos dragon. The chaos dragon makes him a big target, but also provides a majority armour-piercing damage and the utility of breath attacks.
His abilities are standard, but adequate in a duel or for buffing nearby troops defensively.
The pendant of Slaanesh makes him a strong melee combatant and the filth mace does a bit of everything, so it useful to have.
Overall, in multiplayer, the best use for this unit is in its lowest cost for a lord slot in your army and in your enemy mistaking him for Sigvald or Archaon (when on a horse or foot). This will allow your army to be bigger because you have allocated resources elsewhere. The Chaos lord is a decent melee combatant depending on the mount brought, but will pale in comparison to any melee legendary lord.
