Do you think they will put him next to Ku'gath? or chaos warriors?

Whoever it is will certainly be in the Nurgle faction, not WoC. There's already a ton of WoC factions and the DLC needs to have at least one WH3 faction in it (the other two are WH1 factions).

In fact, I was thinking the same thing, and I wanted to ask in fact, those who know the lore better than me, if Tamurkhan is a human how can you explain from a story point of view, the putting him inside the Nurgle box? At first glance that looks more like a grouping of demons. I mean, at least to differentiate it from the other WoC DLC.

However, I also read that he has (is?) a worm inside him, which takes new bodies once the old one decomposes. Could that be enough to explain my question above ?

My understanding is that Tamurkhan is literally a demonic maggot/mutant. I mean physically. He invades hosts and takes them over. I think Tamurkhan is known for choosing an ogre tyrant as his host, so my guess is that he will most likely appear as a rotting plague ogre in-game.

I can't think of anyone else but Tamurkhan

This helps me understand why he will be included in "Demons" along with Ku'gath. Today I was reading Tamurkhan's story and I couldn't read it all because there is a lot to read and I didn't have time.

Tamurkhan is most likely CA's choice as Legendary Lord for Nurgle in Thrones of Decay, they mostly follow what Players asked/demand for as Legendary Lords in WhTW.

I'm not very familiar with Nurgle Characters in WhF, but there is also Epidemius a High Plaguebearer Deamon from what I remember, but I doubt he will be the Legendary Lord, maybe he comes as a Legendary Hero in Thrones of Decay instead.

Humans can be in monogod factions, no reason why they couldnt (monogod factions are not just deamons, its everything related to that specific god), and CA already made clear they can intermingle humans and deamons where appropriate, just like when they put deamons into WoC...

Lorewise Tamurkhan was a great kurgan warlord highly devoted to nurgle, so you could put him just about anywhere, WoC, Nurgle mono or even Tribes of Chaos (if there was such a thing), but since curent DLC chain is about giving one lord to each monogod faction (slanesh next) hes gonna be for nurgle faction.... IF its him, nothing is confirmed yet

Huh. A Nurgle lord that could actually take over the lords of other factions. Could be an even cooler faction to play than the Changeling

Ah ok, this is very interesting, in the past I have read about this statement. But so for example Festus could have been in the monogod?

The point is that it's been many years since the first DLC, but from a lore point of view they still could have put all the monogods together and made the undivided in their own group, right? If the first DLC had not come out in the first game.

No, put him right next to Reikland. Empire doesn't have enough enemies early game.

Also please move chaos wastes into altdorf!!! thank you.

Those saying it's going to be Tamurkhan are doing nothing but wishlisting.

The second CA revealed the Changeling as SoC's "LL" instead of Van Horstmann they could just as well reveal the others, which will undoubtedly be:

Nurgle: Epidemius
Slaanesh: The Masque
Khorne: Skulltaker

Which are indeed the most boring options, but then we'll have the good ones for WoC: Van Horstmann, the Glottkin, Dechala and Arbaal. If CA actually survives its own sins, that is.
