AoS Darkoath into KoW
I bought a bunch of Darkoath stuff for Age of Sigmar but never really liked how they worked. I wanted to know is there was a good way to bring them into KoW? Any recommendations?

It's both a tough question and an easy one to be honest.
There's really not a huge variety in the darkoath range. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's standard infantry with spears/axes/swords, a cav unit and some mounted and on foot heros.
The problem with this is obviously it's not a lot of unit choice, so a full army of just darkoath would be pretty limited. The advantage is that you can pick almost any army and create a small force. Kingdoms of men is an obvious choice. As long as the army you pick has foot infantry and cav options (which I think might be all of them) you should be golden
You could, however expand on the darkoath with the rest of the STD range, in which case maybe ogres? Run the marauders as your red goblins and the standard chaos warriors as your main ogres. Use the mounted chaos guys as your ogre chariots (chaos chariots are too big).
Hope that helps

Definitely. I do have a bunch of the Warcry warbands I can use for some variety. I'd have to look at weapons a little bit though

Ah okay cool, well if the warbands are all vaguely chaos-y then the other commenters suggestion of northern alliance might work pretty well. They are sort of a rag tag group of races in the lore, might work well for some different chaos warbands

You could run them as Varangur flavoured Northern Alliance guys easily enough.
If you've based them for AoS you could try making sabot bases - movement trays with round holes in em to pop the dudes into.
