Strategy[]
Fortified starting settlement (which you need to take from Exquisite Pain), Warhost of the Apocalypse has a lot of options on where to expand. You can go East to forcibly confederate Heralds of the Tempest (The Heralds of the Tempest often engages in war against The Maggot Host and/or Grimgor's Ardboyz so try to rush to ensure that they aren't defeated by Tamurkhan and/or Grimgor making you either have to cause a rebellion in the respective starting settlement or ignore having Kholek for that campaign) and Puppets of Misrule, go South to raze Kislev while confederating The Ecstatic Legions and The Fecundites or go West and confederate Legion of the Gorequeen, Shadow Legion and The Decedant Host. Most of the Warrior of Chaos factions are very likely to stay alive until mid-end/game.
You should focus on vassalizing any aggressive or Chaos-aligned faction on the way, to ensure that you have a surplus supply of Souls per turn,since even if defeated and vassalized, factions such as Grimgor's Ardboyz still keep the same amount of aggressiveness (Just be careful that they don't occupy your Dark Fortresses). Try not to vassalize factions that spread plagues that still harm you such as Nurgle factions or Skaven ones. The Immortal Empires world is an oyster and this faction is certainly well-equipped enough to raze and destroy the oyster.
