Alright, CA released a big blog post detailing how Chaos factions (both the Warriors of Chaos and the Monogod Races) are going to work.
There is a lot in this blog post but basically, CA is going out of their way to make every Chaos Legendary Lord as unique as possible and Race placement has a lot to do with that.
For example, they made Festus a Nurgle themed Warriors of Chaos LL instead of a straight up Nurgle LL because in the WoC he would be a unique experience but in Nurgle, he would just be a lightweight version of Kugath. They have also confirmed that there will be mortal LLs for the Monogod Races.
It is certainly a good thing that CA is communicating with the fan base with these blog posts and elaborating on their decisions and this whole Warriors of Chaos rework + Champions of Chaos DLC is looking to be like an all round good time.

• Converts a portion of own battle casualties into Souls.
• Has access to the Tzeentch teleport stance.
Lord effects:

So basically Valkyra is walking wrecking ball like Taurox and Skarbrand. The more she fights the further she can go.
However considering how easy it will be to replenish troops with new Wartribes mechanic Valkyra can potentially outmatch Taurox and Skarbrand in that regard
Her start position is hard tho, Khorne isn't the fastest due to armor. Malekith and Darkshards/Bolt Throwers will do some massive damage to her same as Dwarves with Grudge Throwers.
Hmmm, i legit feel like that with her you need to go east. Take all northern wasters, deal with Sigvald and who ever comes on top in the north, the focus on Heleborn and finally Malekith/Dawi winner.
No way she can take Malekith/Dawi early one, she needs cav and monsters

In case anybody missed these, we had a cool, cinematic video with narration from the Advisor, that looked over the Immortal Empires map yesterday.
There was also a Let's Play video for each of the Champions of Chaos Legendary Lords for the upcoming DLC.
