Legend has it that there would one day be models for Bron and Jor, the Axer and Impaler that Madrak has had since I can remember. It might even be cool if they are a package deal, like both for 15 points, and maybe even an upgrade blister, to use some extra kits that are still sitting around.
I'd like to see Grissel get one though. I had an idea for a heavy who wields a tetsubo that he took off of a Mammoth (yes, a gargantuan) that he killed. He is very proud of his "Bonkie" and will not go anywhere without it. He bonded with Grissel when she healed him up after the fight and now follows her everywhere. His name is "Mincemeat," which is a bit of a pun on "Grissel," but also just sounds kind of cool. "He's dumber than a bag of hammers, but he's loyal." They tried training him to be an Axer, Bouncer, and Impaler, but he was just too dumb. He needs both hands to wield Bonkie so he only gets one initial attack but he'd have both defensive strike and ret strike, as well as critical smite and of course Grissel 1 can also give him another attack. His animus is Rush.
My idea for a character beast for Ragnor is a super Earthborn named Cragmar. He just looks more stony and gnarly. Ragnor carved a Krielstone into his back. He has PF, Steady, and all of the same elemental immunities. His bond allows him to force for a Protective Aura. His animus is Rage. However, he does not have Elemental Communion and he's only SPD 4.
Do you guys have any ideas that specific or just a caster you think is overdue?

Hahaha. Love the Mincemeat idea, very flavourful!
Character Bouncer for Calandra. Shield Guards within 5" + Vengeance + ARM 20 due to either being a fatty or having a massive shield. Personally I like the idea of an obese Bouncer she overfeeds because he's her favourite and she can't help mothering him.
Character Blitzer for Jarl. Straight up ROF3 with some type of MB-esque effect. Or a character Swampy that drops a 5" cloud like the Gobbers do.

Grim had a character Bomber in the fluff, didn't he?
+1 for Mincemeat and Madraks Duo

I feel character beasts for warlocks with multiple iterations are always super interesting, because you can look at including them in lots of places.
So with that in mind:
Grissel: A beast with Wailing would have been the obvious idea, but Grissel 2 now has Discord.
Madrak: I'd be super happy with a better Axer or Impaler or a new heavy would be fine as well.
Grim: A Beast with Prey maybe? How about eyeles sight. Seems to be a lot to work with here.
As one adition. A Calandra character beast with Future Sight as an animus would be good fun.

A dire troll axer sounds great. Two big axes, 2ich range,thresher. Pow 18 and character to the madraks.
Animus. Something that prevents you charging it or set defense.
Dual attack. He can throw the axes 6 inch and melee with them

I think it would be cool if grim got one... maybe like a giant highwaymen with 2 cannon pistols. With an animus to go ghostly for a turn...

I think I'd rather get another non-character heavy personally. We get 4, every other non-limited faction has 6-8. I'm thinking non-character with reach, maybe a jungle troll with an animus that gives it Acrobatics, Bounding Leap, or something like that.

Acrobatics on Madrack or Borka (particularly Bearka) would be absolutely hilarious. It would be cool to get a character light for Madrack or a character swamp troll fro Grim. (or is it jarl that has the swamp troll) Madrack: Character Impaler with Powerful shot and Reload 2. Natural range of 10 on the spear and someone with more knowledge on the fluff should make up his animus  Rules wise I want it to be snipe or give extra die to ranged attack rolls dropping the lowest. give him 4 fury and call it a day  I like the idea of a volcano/lava themed earth borne for Horgle 2. Make it a Earthborn that has a 8-10" fire spray that has erosion and assault and give it cont fire on its attacks. His animus can give +2 to fire damage rolls while within 5 and he can lose lightning immunity for corosion immunity. (like a slag, pyre heavy) |

I Feel like ragnor could use one, but madraks sounds really cool.

Grissel should get one. She's one of the earliest released TB warlocks.
With a Bond like Ruin's, free Boundless Charge.
Probably a Bouncer, given Grissel's nature. I'm imagining a character Bouncer with Rage or Primal.
The design space currently is soooo wide open for a character light, especially with the dearth of decent light warbeast animi (for aid to heavies) that are point effective for inclusion.
A warbeast UNIT of Bron and Jor could be stellar! No Scarabs for us, we get a 18-19 point unit package of two interactive lights? Definitely with Gang |

Characters are semi useless now since theme forces are "mandatory". Sure, a character would be cool, but it would only see play with one caster. Id much prefer non-character stuff tbh.

AFAIK Ragnor has an unnamed character Bouncer. Madrak has a character axer AND a character impaler. Not sure what others are mentioned in the fluff.
Personally I'd like to see Callandra get a character EBDT that's basically Captain Planet - all 4 elements in one (animus is full elemental immunity, or maybe is auto-corrosion, auto-fire, e-leap and crit stationary on melee attacks?). But that's a bit silly and over the top.

Dire Pyre for Horgle- I overlooked that.
What do you guys think of doing Bron & Jor as a character warbeast unit and an upgrade blister for extra plastic Axer and Impaler kits?
