The Lord General seems the right choice to me since he has the official higher rank and as a result is more rare in an IG regiment. Commissars are found everywhere in an IG regiment. They are even mere squad leaders in the game ^^ Although they can assume full command when they see fit, they have to give command back to the officers at the end of a battle. Commissars are mainly there to keep any soldier, no matter the rank they posses, from failing its duties to the Emperor and the Imperium by any means they see fit, usually execution as to set an example for the others ^^
I completely understand if those exact same reasons make a Commisar the way to go though :p
As for the Chaos Sorcerer. He already has this great link with the warp since he's a psycher and a real "witch". Just seems more fitting and interesting for Chaos to me.
If it was any old commissar I would agree, but this is not, this is a commissar lord and they're basically the same as the lord general - second in charge in the hierachy, but unlike the general's they're absolutely badass, not old men. I think they warrant some idolising more than the general personally
(also note lord general is not lord general militant which itself is a higher rank)
And chaos lord's can be psykers too, while also kicking much more ass in melee combat, they also look better too imo, despite sorcerer's perhaps being more interesting, you probably can't deny that overall chaos lords are more iconic than the sorcerers.
Riku, we could argue about anything
What's your favourite colour?
And also, good god are these smilies awful.
