I doubt this'll ever happen, but the ogrun theme got me thinking. If Nephilim are blighted elves, what happens when blighted ogrun are turned into warbeasts? I was under the impression that Azrael is a Ogrun Nephilim. This would be incorrect. All nephilim are born of Nyss mothers who were specially blighted during pregnancy. Azrael and Zuriel are the result of experimental versions of the ritual performed by Talys and Saeryn respectively. Azrael's origin is talked about in the command book and NQ 72 (it might be 71, the one with the GK File on Kryssa).

Hellion cavalry, it|s about time.
I agree on Kallus having his next char beast, his body is partly made from the living flesh of another dragon, so he can create something other warlocks cannot. But what it is, I cannot even speculate.
Vayl3 should be on a custom Throne or an even weirder Battle Engine beast, to accommodate her dozen Oraculi shards flying around, a coven of lesser sorceresses providing assistance, her dragon scrying device she has been planning since MK2 started, and of course, her 400 sq ft cape and dress.
Thag3 BE should be even more impressive, but he would have to eat an athanc to get there... and we missed our chance for that... sigh...
I do not look forward to a heavy Nephilim. Nephs are fine as light warbeasts, they should get some support, that is all. The game is too skewed away from lights anyway, it would be nice to have a competitive army of light warbeasts. I hope for a mystic Nephilim, armed with a Nephilim-sized Hex razor, Fury 4, offensive Animus, maybe some interaction with other Nephilim, some weird ability that gives it anti-armor (say, life trader on a warbeast? Too OP?) and those back stumps look like good spots to hang a cape from. Also, Nephilim head is a thing of beauty, and since the Soldier, PP messed it up by putting helmets on it, one more un-helmeted Nephilim please.
Also, a Nephilim Mother may finally come to the battlefield and provide bonuses for her children, either as a solo or a Lesser Warlock.
UA for the Pot. Gives it more spawnings per turn, or more corpse tokens capacity or option to spend those tokens for something else, like upkeep of a spell or healing of a beast or STR bonus. Or all of that.
Lastly, more soulless units (to make Kallus1 feat have sense.
Blighted Iosans and an Iosan-born Nephilim are way overdue.

I forgot the obvious, we get a cross-faction warlock.
WM has three of those already and the only way I see it happening in Hordes is someone gets an athanc inserted.
I am rooting for an ex Skorne warlock.

I'm rooting for a character beast bonded to Lylyth.
Three versions, means it can see some real use in the theme-heavy game going forward.

A pet raek or teraph would be really sweet.
Or a character shredder, just for cutesies.

Character shredder would be a better fit for vayl, she seems to be the type of person who has a pet xD. A reak for lylyth would be perfect for lylyth. Give it prey, and as a bond let lylyth shoot targets in melee with it without penalty or something like that, would fit her theme really really well. or give it some bonus vs targets lylyth has hit before.

Mark target? this has seemed to moved to an "I wish" thread so - I want a legit dragoon. Not Anyssa, nor the Sorc & Hellion. A melee competent dragoon like the previous rapid strike Fane Knight. Or the Man-o-war Drakun. Something with weapon master or brutal damage and hopefully rapid strike. Likely a spray but I'd take a single target gun. An interesting mechanic for defense or mobility. And not stupidly over costed.

She always had a Raek with her, but it died. Twice. She does not have a long-time Raek companion. Still, a character beast for Lyl would be awesome, I|m thinking either an archer Nephilim (not the crossbow Bolter, real elegant archer with a huge compound bow, and wings, shooting from the sky) or a once made league char Seraph, Yagraph, that gives bonuses to all -eraphs. Should make for some interesting army builds.

A dragon centaur that, instead of falling off his horse, explodes into a mega-incubus.
