So some theory crafting here, I want to make chaos warriors from the Warhammer Fantasy universe. The deity with deific obedience is fairly easy.
- A champion of chaos undivided could just be a fighter, nothing special.
- For a Khorne champion, I was thinking a barbarian with the superstitious rage power (Khorne hates magic!).
- A Tzeentch champion could be a Wizard/Arcanist evocation focused, or magus/eldritch knight?
- For Slaanesh, a charming swashbuckler?
- And maybe an alchemist for a champion of Nurgle with mummification, lingering spirit, and diehard?
I would need your help guys.
What are your opinions? Thoughts?
Bloodragers with variety of bloodlines would be my first thought. Anti-paladins with some tweaking as well.
Alchemist for papa Nurgle seems interesting, though it fits skaven even more.
Inquisitor might fit Tzeentch.
Warpriest could be also an option for non-Khorne champions.
I like the ideas you have and I think they would make for serviceable Chaos Warriors.
To me Oracle feels more fitting to me for champions of chaos than any other class because of curses and the way in which they gain their powers, but unfortunately it is tied to spellcasting. I think it would make an especially good fit for higher powered undivided champions with their eclectic mix of powers and mutations.
I think you definitely have the best fit in the superstitious Barbarian for a Khornite champion.
Tzeentch is complex as we have a blending of arcane and divine and magic and martial that Pathfinder doesn't really allow. Followers of Tzeentch are the most likely to mutate so I would lean to something like an Oracle, or an Aberrant Sorcerer/Bloodrager. The trickery could also take on the form of an Inquistor or an Eldritch Scoundrel/Arcane Trickster.
Slaanesh would definitely be all about the finesse warriors, the swashbucklers, the daring champion cavaliers, the unchained rogues, the bards, and the skalds.
Alchemist definitely feels very Nurgle-y for me, maybe something like the Twilight Sage Arcanist as well? Power over life and death is very Nurgle. Antipaladin could also make for a good Nurgle champion. Poison or toxin archetypes such as the Toxicologist Druid could be a good fit as well.
Occultist Arcanist could be a good fit for any of them as a summoner of daemons.
BONUS: A warrior of Malal would totally be the new Ravener Hunter Inquisitor archetype, which gets limited access to an oracle mystery and has bonuses for fighting demons.
I think you'd want a template more than a class. The quick route to power, without having to waste time gaining so many class levels.

An Arcane Duelist Bard is a good match for a Slaanesh champion. They get sonic spells and enchantments and whips and they are not as physically robust as a Khorne or Nurgle warrior. Make them perverts, give them some appropriate Deific Obedience (a variation of Calistria or Nocticula will work) and he's set. Spray paint his armour pink, maybe throw on the Mutant template? It's a solid and very playable build.

Okay, this is what I've come up with so far.
- Khorne: Barbarian 17 with superstitious rage powers and intimidation (cornugon smash).
- Tzeentch: Fighter 1, Transmuter 6, Eldritch Knight 10 (giant form!)
- Slaanesh: Arcane Duelist Bard 17 with Fencing grace and enchantment spells
- Nurgle: (this one's a bit complicated) Half-Orc Unbreakable Fighter 1 Plague Bringer Alchemist 16 (racial heritage: Ratfolk) with plague bombs, lingering spirit, a scythe, and the deathless feat tree.
- Undivided: (Tyrant?) Antipaladin 19, nothing really special as it has things for all. (Smite good = Khorne, Plague Bringer = Nurgle, Unsanctioned Knowledge and spells = Tzeentch, Charisma and depravity = Slaanesh)
I use Nurgle as a Druid power.
Warrior of Chaos sounds like it'd be a prestige class, maybe like Hellknight?
