The Khorne army (Skarbrand the Exiled) doesn't get warband upgrades. Warband upgrades are only for the Warriors of Chaos army.

The Khorne army recruits their chosen as they are from higher tier buildings*. Note that chosen of Khorne is a unit added in a DLC, so said DLC (Champions of Chaos) is required.

If you want a Khorne flavored Warriors of Chaos army you can play as Valkia the Bloody (She and her factions is also part of mentioned DLC).

*Specifically the "Greater Servants" building chain, the buildings being "Hunting Fields" (For normal Chosen of Khorne with a shield) and the upgraded version "The Battlefields" (For duel wielding Chosen of Khorne).

Skarbrand doesn't have the warband system, only the WoC have it.
To get khorne choosen for skarbrand you need the CoC dlc

build the barracks building up Warband Upgrades are only for Warriors of Chaos Faction Not Daemon Factions

I kind of wish the warband system would be implemented for everyone. Would make sense for units to gain experience and skills over time and allow them to become a better tier of unit. Rather than having to disband and recruit better armies. I have the mod for that installed anyway.

Warband upgrades are a very cool evolution of the horde mechanics, but it also means that recovering from losing a lot of units - or getting a new army going - is a LOT harder than for, say, Skarbrand.

As (non-CoC) Skarbrand, you can get pretty good units, but yeah, Chosen are not one of them. You don't really NEED them though; your chaos warriors and variants are way stronk.

Lords you recruit also become a lot more interesting when they get to level 15. :)

Not to mention exalted bloodletters. One of the best infantry in the game according to tests done by Zerkovich on his youtube channel (Unless i'm mistaken only Chosen of Nurgle with great weapons and the Chaos Dwarf RoR Immortals being able to reliably beat them in a 1 on 1 duel).

That said, i haven't been keeping track on balance changes since that video was made so it might be different now and one also needs to take into consideration that battles aren't 1 on 1 duels in vacuum.

Wouldn't work for most factions lore-wise.
And even them, let the WoC have something unique.

I don't care about lore, it's just a good mechanic.

if we give every faction every good mechanic the game gets stale very fast, also factions would lose their appeal

Factions can still have their unique mechanics while also sharing good ones.

so, factions should just keep their bad mechanics then? if we share all the good ones?
