Alos the fact that lords cannot take retinues? Aren't they out for their own gain? If i wanted to achieve sometihng great i would surround myself with like minded individuals to take hits for me.
Give your lord a Mark. That gives them specialized abilities you want. Check pg. 92 of the dex under options for Chaos Lord. I used a retinue for Abbadon in the 3rd ed., but keep in mind that retinues bring down the stats of an Independent Character (I don't remember which ones, but I think Toughness and Iniative are two stats that go by majority). The new dex isn't that bad, I gripped alot when I first read it, but it really is more streamlined and easier to use than the 3rd ed.
