Plus the best Lords of the End Times character to buy for Immortal Empires.

Back when the Lords of the End Times expansion was revealed, Creative Assembly also announced that anyone who buys a single lord in the new DLC when it releases on September 24 will unlock Immortal Empires, Total War: Warhammer's trilogy-spanning grand campaign which comprises all content from the past 10 years of development.
No matter who you buy out of Boris, Thanquol, Nagash, or The Glottkin, you'll get the free faction of Bretonnia, their core unit roster, and their four legendary lords:
They're all fun campaigns with varied start positions, so you'll be fighting lots of different factions.
Nagash is the best buy in sheer content terms if you're purchasing him for Immortal Empires. He gets units and legendary lords from across the undead roster, and you get Neferata, the new free lord, just in time for the Vampire Counts race rework.
In terms of all the other free content that's been released over the years for Immortal Empires, you'll only get the Free-LC associated with the race you purchase.
The good news, though, is that works with other DLC, too. If you bought Aislinn as an individual lord from Tides of Torment, for example, (also $9) you'd get Imrik and Alith Anar as Free-LC legendary lords for the High Elves. This is worth remembering if you want to unlock lots of content and campaigns for the cheapest price, though make sure to keep an eye out as the DLC (and base games) regularly go on sale.
If you buy Boris, you'll get all of his Middenheim faction units, Emil Valgir as a hero, the core Empire unit roster, but you'll also unlock access to the Empire's Free-LC, which includes:
Since the Empire never got a Free-LC legendary lord, besides Bretonnia, Boris is the only campaign you'll get to play. Still, the Empire is very fun and you can, of course, confederate Karl Franz and Elspeth Von Draken nearby, plus Volkmar the Grim in the southlands, Balthasar Gelt in Cathay to the east, and Markus Wulfhart in Lustria to the west, provided they all survive long enough for you to encounter them.
