Good
Pawn - Fling
Rook - Dwarf Blocker/Blitzer
Knight - Human Blitzer
Bishop - High Elf Catcher
Queen - Wardancer
King - Star Player of choice
Evil
Pawn - Gobbo
Rook - Mummy/Wight
Knight - Orc Blizter
Bishop - Gutter Runner
Queen - Witch Elf
King - Star Player of Choice

Whatever you end up using, do not forget to put some pictures up :)

I always more so thought of each team as a chess set e.g.
Reikland Reavers
Pawns - Linemen
Rooks - Blitzers
Knights - Catchers
Bishops - Throwers
Queen- Griff
King - Zug
The Necromantic side seem to lend themselves to it nicely e.g.
Pawns - Zombies
Rooks - Flesh Golems
Knights - Wights
Bishops - Ghouls
Queen - Werewolf
King - Necromancer Head Coach

Nice idea! On the white side: Knight could be a Wardancer (leap). Queen could Big Bertha (ogre star player - ogres are good guys!, very strong and mobile). Bishop could be pro elf blitzer (side step = diagonal move). King has to be Morg, obvs :)

Fun idea for sure!
My take:
White:
Pawns - Human Lineman
Rook - Halfling Treeman
Knight - Norse Ulfwerner
Bishop - Pro Elf Catcher
Queen - Wood Elf Blitzer
King - High Elf Thrower
Black:
Pawn - Orc Lineman
Rook - Goblin Troll
Knight - Nurgle Pestigor
Bishop - Necromantic Werewolf
Queen - Dark Elf Witch Elf
King - Undead Mummy

King: The lone ball carriers holding a ball, Human Thrower and Khemri Throw-Ra.
Queen: Best expensive pieces, everyone knows it's the Wardancer and Bull Centaur.
Rook: Good workhorses for a good team, Amazon Blitzers and Necro Werewolves.
Bishop: Fast, effective, agile pieces, Pro/High Elf Catchers and Dark Elf Blitzers.
Knight: Slower, but good from the start, Troll Slayers and Chaos Warriors.
Pawns: Weakest pieces that fill their team, Halfings and Goblins.
