(General POV)
Location the Old World-The Chaos Wastes
In the mystical, and corrupted north of the lands, under constant daemonic scourges and Chaos corruption hence it name of the Chaos Wastes
Within this ancient evil land, filled with all matter of abominations, monsters, and cruel warriors that willingly bound their souls and lives to four Dark Gods, for the Realm of Chaos is just over the dark horizon.
In a open grey corrupted field, where scavenging canines known as warhounds, mutated dogs or wolves that now wander and hunt through the Chaos Wastes, right now a pack numbering twenty were eating and nawing at marauders boned remains.
This place was at the near edge of the Sea of Chaos, this pack warhounds was scavenging what they could when...
Bursting fort into reality just beyond the den, a massive rift of powerful chaotic energy manifested...
The warhounds, barked, growled and slowly back away from the massive rift and surely a 6'4 tall armored figure came out the rift, his grey armored boots making loud shinks, with every step and soon enough other beings were crossing through rift behind this mysterious Chaos Warrior.
A small army composed of a mix of daemonic beings and chaos warriors appeared behind the obvious leader of this army, immediately the leading warrior's eyes began to glow crimson, as his long black furred coat/cape flowed in the wind.
His eyes roamed around the desolated, and corrupt landscape, all the while the three Chaos Gods were within the said Chaos Lord but reality it's an avatar, all three of them could detect the power of Chaos overflowing unrestricted...but clearly weaken than within the Warp, Khorne already was yelling within the avatar which was name Ixion Daemonhart by Laharl, that they must seek battle and kill countless souls...while Nurgle desired to travel south to collect ingredients from the world...while Laharl he yelled which forced Ixion to yell out in Laharl's voice, "ENOUGH!!!!" Laharl calmed himself as he mentally discussed their next move in the Old World together...
Location the Psyker Dimension within the Avatar/Ixion
The trio of Chaos God were in a dark alternative space, as Laharl designed Ixion the inners of the avatar act as another dimension entirely.
Not only would this allow multiple Chaos Gods, to dwell and operate Ixion but not overload it or counteract each other's powers and dominion.
The three appeared as great shadow with Khorne's being crimson eyed, Nurgle's being lightsaber green eyed, and lastly Laharl's being dark purple eyed.
Laharl spoke to his brother, telling them that this isn't like their usual state of fighting and corrupting their accustomed to.
This time their not alone, not only were their together but directly leading an army and of the three the one that possessed experience on direct command of a battlefield is the Dark One himself.
Begrudgingly both the Rot Lord and the Blood God had to agree with their elder brother, especially what he said to them next.
Laharl said, "Also remember we have no unlimited supply line since here there isn't a Warp but just Realm of Chaos. So we need to expand our army and influence with the mortal souls here in the Old World for now, until we can establish not only a direct link to our homeworld, but also base camp to plan our bloody campaign in the Old World. Agreed?" both Khorne and Nurgle remained silent for a moment and nodded in agreement.
They'll establish a temporary base camp in these Chaos Waste, once done they'll plan their next move, as they quickly regained control of their avatar, Ixion.
(Avatar Ixion/Chaos Gods POV)
Location the Chaos Waster/Near the Fortress of the Damned
Laharl: Finally we decided what to do.
We'll head towards the nearest settlement, camp, ruin, anything and claim it as our own.
Sorta of a temporary base in the Chaos Waste, while we gather followers and grow Ixion's power before planning our next move, which will be involving crossing over the Sea of Chaos, and head southward.
Khorne: As Laharl said, we're together in this vassal and must share, aid one another.
And as he mentioned the safest option, to start of bloody campaign in this world is gather an army, so turning Ixion to our starting army of around 500, I took control of our avatar's voice and addressed them, "Our army, let's march and scouwer this land in the name of the Dark Gods!!!" Laharl's frost eldars and mortfinis, Nurgle's infectors, and my bloodletters let out a cheer to my commands!!!
Nurgle: I was impressed by my brother, Khorne's charisma, as we officially started this campaign, ohh how delightful indeed.
As we started to march we sensed some lifeforms close to us, twenty to be infact...as we stopped walking our forces stopped as well, as twenty little creatures came to greet us.
I heard the Advisor that Laharl installed into the avatar, I believe he called her, Aillia.
Aillia said to us, (Worry not my...Lords. These creatures are called Chaos Warhounds, used by Norscan and other Chaos Warriors as flanking monsters. Their souls and use is meager for your uses my Lords.)
Khorne: As I look at the inferior mongrels, I completely agree with Aillia's words, and more, these mutts aren't even worthy of falling to the blade of Gods!!!
That's when I heard Laharl speak, "I agreed brother. But a soul is a soul. It might be useless to us, but at least it will serve as a small morsal for our daemons...plus, I want to see my Mortfinis in action, and their bodies might serve Nurgle for Infector hosts, for those maggots daemons." I then heard Nurgle thanked our brother for his considerate gesture.
And I the Blood God, agreed with my brother as I commanded my bloodletters to remain where they were...
Laharl: While my brother, Khorne stopped his lesser daemons from attacking, I send my mortifinis just 4 thou, no need for overkill, plus I just want to see what they can do.
All Dark Gods: We saw as four pale, thin maroon girret caged three-eyed daemons started to make their way forward.
With surprisingly unimpeded movement, aside from the klanking sounds that emenated from their joint movements, the four mortifinis, one for every varient rushed in at the command of their God's avatar, Ixion.
A couple of warhounds charged at the Finis wielding a harbert only for their attacks to be utterly useless as two of the corrupted hounds upon latching their maws onto the mortfinis, they were impaled on the spike girret, and suffered damage as the maroon colored girret cage completely protected the lesser laharlish daemon.
Holding the black daemonic polearm, the mortfinis swung it weapon easily beheading the two stuck warhounds, bathing in Chaos corrupted hound blood, it roared as it performed a thrusting attack next as the spear tip between the axe and spike heads of the harbert pierced through the warhound's skull and even caved into it, spilling gore and brain marrow onto the corrupted ground.
This pleased Khorne and Laharl inside of Ixion, as Nurgle told them to keep watching as they did, turning our avatar's sight onto the two other mortfinis fighting against these were armed with a pair of guillotine axes and the other daemon has a pair of long double-edge swords.
Us Dark Gods looked through the eyes of our avatar, Ixion, as the two dual wielding mortfinis hacked, slashed, chopped, and stabbed at ten warhounds, when another came to do a futile pounce at one of Laharl's lesser daemons, it was meet by high-speed, spinning sawdisk that bisected the warhound in the air.
Spilling all it innards and blood onto the ground soon followed by the body of the corrupted hound, Nurgle was pleased as the innards and organ were getting coated by filth and scum.
As the sawdisk acted like a boomerang spun to the right and returned to the wielder.
Said wielder being the last finis covered in blood, especially its disks.
Surrounding this lesser daemon, was the remaining seven hacke bodies of the rest of the warhounds.
Nurgle: I immediately send out twenty of my Infectors, to take the hounds bodies for their own.
Immediately twenty bloated white and green maggots covered in boils and infected sores once my newest children arrived next to the bodies...ohh was wonderful sight I shared with my siblings.
(General POV)
Ixion/Chaos Gods watched as the large cat sized maggot daemons split apart into multiple miniscule copies and burrowed into the flesh of the hound corpses.
And in a wink, the dead bodies started to twitch, and the sound of bones snapping was heard as the infectors not only took complete control over the bodies but infected them with whatever number of diseases that Nurgle has placed on the maggot daemons.
Laharl saw the transformation of the warhound corpses, and couldn't help but compare it to the Thing Movie, as the hounds resemble those aline monsters a lot.
As maggots multiply and squirm in the open wounds, causing green and flesh tone tentacles to spout from their dead hosts, the headless ones the tentacles stretched out grabbing the discarded heads and reattached them to main host bodies.
All the Dark Gods can sense and see these maggots acted like zombie-fungus does to ants and spiders, exect they permanently stay within the hosts making them stronger, numb to pain, and diseased.
In all honesty like Laharl mentioned before they look like the cross between a plagued warhound and a zombie "thing" alien.
Nurgle cheered inside of Ixion, as they obtained their first new unit...infected hounds.
Giving them a poisonous and fast moving force within the ranks, pleasing them all even of Khorne commented on how disgusting and disturbing that horror show was, while Nurgle thanking Khorne for the complement, Laharl told them they wasted enough time so they finally began...or continue the march they started, heading east.
While they lead the march, Laharl discreetly convinced his brothers to check on their avatar stats in its current state.
Khorne agreed immediately wanting to see these stats and the strength that the avatar, Ixion is capable of, while Nurgle didn't care as long as he is able to obtain more carrion, and test subjects for these new pathogen that he plans on creating.
Since they all agreed, Laharl called Aillia, Khorne and Nurgle immediately realized that their advisor, sounded and behaved more excited and willing to work when Laharl called her for some reason...
Aillia was cheery, hyper, and excited as she brought up a modified stat list exclusive for Ixion, and meant to be around the high ranking warrior in the Old World.
With that said all the Dark Gods started inspecting the stats, skills, and abilities available to them in this avatar.

At first Khorne felt that these stats were meager and a insult to his name.
But Aillia quickly explain that aside from trained humans around level 30, normally the highest mortal creatures that aren't blessed by fate their highest stats could reach around 60, in fact the strongest none Chaos align warriors in this realm were Karl Franz who's level 80+, and only high level Chaos follower and non-human races might pose a challenge for them currently.
Khorne grumbled as he knew there wasn't someone strong to challenge around the Chaos Wastes, this made things easier for Laharl as it meant that despite sharing an avatar, his brothers can't access his memories and even if they could Iron Maiden 666 would activate and defend him...but regardless of what Khorne said he knows that their several Legendary Lords in the area...Wulfrik, Throgg, Archeon, Sigvald, Kholek, Nakai, and Rakarth if this version of the Old World, is following the Immortal Empires from Total War Warhammer 3.
While Laharl would enjoy facing these characters, he knows that they need to gather resources, numbers, and power before taking these Lords and their armies.
So for now they'll continue their march, and gain more experience and units, knowing that the only mortals that will join their warband at the moment will be Norscan raiders, Chaos Warriors, Corrupted Monsters, and maybe the wandering Dark Elves cause they're always raiding all over the nearby areas.
That's when Laharl thought that with Nurgle taking Ku'gath and Festus from Old World, they might not appear here a small reprieve a least...also this provides a chance to put Be'lakor in his place, and capture the First of the Damned, to bring him under their service as he'll be a weaker version of the first daemon prince.
In all honesty the Be'lakor of Old World would be much easier to handle than his 40k counterpart.
Lastly this also meant that Yuri Godslayer, aka the Daemon Prince of TWW3 would also be in this version of Old World, and be easier to make submit than Be'lakor, Laharl's joy and excitement was overflowing that both Khorne and Nurgle could sense it.
So they asked him, "What has you, in such a mood brother?" Laharl responded, "The opportunities, this world is providing us, will make our homeworld and more tremble in our coming. We might even, crush the Anathema personally if we continue this campaign."
Just like him, both younger Chaos Gods were incredibly excited and eager to scouwer this world!!!
