Cathayan vampirate or Malakai are defo not notable LLs. There are quite a few special characters in 8th edition which are missing from your list.
Why is Hobgobla-Khan in Chaos Dwarfs?
W’soran, Ushoran and Abhorash will never happen. They are the ones who started the bloodlines but never had rules on TT which CA primarly uses for their LLs in the game and in their case there are lords that are far more active and reknown from their bloodlines (Vorag fro Strigoi, Zacharias for Nechrach and Walach for Blood Dragon)
The final rose has faded, The eaves will sing no more; The waxen ground will keep you bound, Death-pale until the thaw. Then she placed the rest of Orion's ashes into the bowl and turned to face the Oak of Ages.
I used to go by many names here. Crazycrix, Dubinekdubajs, Yrellian and finally Ariel, one of my favourite characters in the setting. Still waiting for Finubar and Naieth!
If you're gonna say all remaining notable ones... you missed alot of notable ones..
For example?
I think the list is quite realistic for characters that or not too obscure.
I can start you off with beastmen, since they're my favs
Off the top of my head you missed ungrol, and gorthor. Both of which are big, bigger names then slugtongue.
If this is a "list of lords I personally want" then fine. But "all notable lords" then your empire list has ludwig? A legendary hero that should be added but he's a hero, I don't think people want him a lord. He's a champion and standard bearer.

Ok Cathay Jade Vampire true, there is no one notable, that should have been off the list. I guess I should have said frazed it as likely candidates instead with keeping that one on.
Why Hobgoblin Khan is listed in Chaos Dwafs, beacuse thats how he will be implemented in the game most likely. (I know I will get some hate for this) Just what I am sensing. If he is a new race I'm fine with it just not sure of the likelihood and CA mostly looks at gameplay for choosing LL, and he will give a different experience than the other LL in CD's
Fair for the vampires there are a ton of characters there, but your probably right.

I'm gonna disagree only because of your statement of pregenators.

You too are biased: - the Jade Vampire is defo a possible option for Vampire Coast - Malakai is a popular character and a Slayer, and it happens that almost all the missing Dwarf units are tied to him - and Hobgobla-Khan could be tied to Chaos Dwarfs because Hobgoblins are part of the Chaos Dwarf roster
None of these may happen, but the possibility is there.

The topic is about notable LLs. There is no notable Jade Vampirate and Malakai is not a notable character when it comes to TT. Both can happen, but both are not notable.
There is a hobgoblin special character for Chaos Dwarfs and that is Gorduz, so even if we get a special hobgoblin in Chaos Dwarfs, it won’t be the Khan (you can quote me on this)
So, how am I biased? I made no propositions (only for bloodline characters and I am quite confident when it comes to those ones) and just called out the weird things in OP’s list.

Well let’s start with BM. Actual missing LL is Gorthor.
What you have are Hero options but you don’t have the only actual Lord option left.
So…how exactly did you make the list?
Hero options?
Weren't they all LL since beastmens last book came out before heros were a thing?or am I incorrect?
Not sure if I understand correctly, but there were no LLs in the armybooks. There were special characters which were either in Lord or Hero category. (This did not prevent the characters from leading the armies, they both still could be army generals - if not stated otherwise - Bruckner was a lord option but could not lead armies).

Hobgobla Khan as a dawi-zharr lord? You just made me lose my lunch, chief.
3 Chaos dwarves and Shar'tor would be ideal, though I wouldn't say no to Tordrek Hackart either(That ship of his is just too damn cool).
Drazhoath and Astragoth are both shoe-ins, Zhatan is far, faaaar more likely than a hobgoblin. Shar'tor is a pretty popular and requested choice aswell, much more so than any hobgobbo.
A slave species leading dawi-zharr forces. I shudder to imagine it.
It needs to be pointed out that what people call "cheese" is just playing the game the way it actually exists not in some fictional way they think it is supposed to work.
ALL notable LLs? More like the ones you just came up with during lunch time...
Where is is Zathan? Why is Mallabaude in the VCs and not Bretonia? A vampire pirate in VC and not VCoast? Malakai and Ulrika important? Where is the Golden Knigth and Mother Ostankya? Yuan Bo for Cathay? Ghark for the Ogres? Korhil for the HE? Heck, what about the VCoast and the TK as a whole?
Seriously, if you are going to make a list like this, at least make some research first.

Yoi're saying you've listed all notable characters, but then I see a lot missing.
For example I miss Screetch Verminking for Skaven, Baba Yaga for Kislev (been heavily hinted that she will be coming), Karanak and Scyla Anfingrimm for Khorne, Vangheist, that undead Skaven, or just any character for Vampire Coast, or in general any TK character?
Races I'd like to see, in order of preference: Chaos Dwarfs, Southern Realm/ DoW, Araby, Nippon, Hobgoblin Kharnate, Kuresh, Ind.
I'm also missing Constant Drachenfels on this list. I think, he would make an interesting character. Maybe a cross faction for Vampire Counts and Chaos with a shared roster of undead creatures and some demons.

Apophas.
Might call some 'notable' but I wouldn't call everyone on that 'notable'. I mean, some were actually in the TT game vs some of those guys above.
