My prediction is beast theme cause everyone have one and ancestral theme cause I expect construct warbeasts (Naaresh feat changes to only living tells we will get them once) and cause full boat of ancestrals are perfectly fits into 62 points: Ancestral Guardian [5] Ancestral Guardian [0] Ancestral Guardian [0] Hakaar the Destroyer [0] Immortals (max) [15] - Extoller Advocate [4] Immortals (max) [15] - Extoller Advocate [4] Immortals (max) [15] - Extoller Advocate [4] In Zaal2 thats 42 points left. Enought for 2 titans, krea and paingivers. Too good to be true)) I feel like hakar may be a little pricey to be a free solo. Most free stuff isn't usually more then 5ish points

Well there's the Hellslinger Phantom. Or the Pain Knight.

We already have the models; we just don't have the themes for them. Then again, maybe they can just talk about construct beasts for future proofing. I do miss my Zaal1 tier.

looks like most people are in agreeance, titan theme or exhalted theme x.O; I say titan theme instead of beast theme because I think it'd be cool to give the titans a buff or 2 with the theme force rather than just free solos or support pieces

Thought today that Exalted theme might be a good idea for CID - construct heavies \ lights (hope we receive construct arc node), maybe another type(s) of exalted infantry - immortals with shields, heavy infantry immortals, some kind of solos \ multiwound infantry like khemri ones - construct tomb scorpions, etc.

I am hoping for a Beast theme and a Cataphract theme. I say this because I really want the immortal theme to get a full "book" with new models and everything. I think the Cataphract have enough variation in the units to make a compelling theme as is but I really want the immortal theme to have more options so it feels more like a diverse army.

Constructs are the top pick for me for Skorne's subfaction.

Construct warbeasts would make a lot of sense. Circle will get mad for taking their toys but I'm okay with that.

A Mortitheurge theme book could be really intriguing. It's an aspect of Skorne culture that hasn't been explored much aside from warlocks.

The Skorne Empire: - Can include Skorne models and Mercenaries/Minions who will work for Skorne. - For every 25p of Skorne models, add one Skorne solo or CA with a PC of 5 or less to the army for free. Wishful thinking? Hell yes. I do like the idea of expanding the whole slavery theme of the faction.looks like most people are in agreeance, titan theme or exhalted theme x.O; I say titan theme instead of beast theme because I think it'd be cool to give the titans a buff or 2 with the theme force rather than just free solos or support pieces With the Soldier getting cheaper..... A bug theme could be cool. Methinks we dont have enough diversity In the bugs for that, only 4 of them. Maybe an Aradus Queen Gargantuan Warlock and some kind of Aradus Larvae 6/10 conscript unit? I would love an Aradus theme. Make all the bugs Aradus. Give us a Character Beast. A warlock that works well with them. KEY WORD "well." I don't care to get a gargantuan anything. Maybe throw in some units and solos. Fun Times! As for Exalted, that would be cool but I dont have any units yet so it can wait. I wouldn't mind a titan theme but I play more bugs than elephants. Finally, how about a Cyclops theme. Molik with some shamans, brutes, raiders and savages. Makeda front and center. throw in the PGBH and some units and solos. BAM!

I would like to see some sort of Mortitheurge/Aradus theme complete with new models. I remember they spoke of a Mortitheurge unit that was set to be release in the near future and I suspect that is how they can make the Aradus Soldier perform better (more importantly, I'd like to see the Mortitheurge unit give elemental immunity [cough, cough, FIRE, cough] to a model/unit), although I'm not sure if the design team wants to give ancillary attack back to Skorne (even though I believe that is what is needed to get an Aradus Soldier to earn it's points, even into hordes). Free upkeeps would be paramount here for the Hexys.
Titans are powerful already, if you want to overkill with them, we have ways with our casters (Zaadesh2, Naaresh, Mordikaar+WE&SJ, etc.). The standard "Bring beast get solos" will be plenty good. Maybe getting something like +2" deployment or starting the game with upkeeps would be a nice pat on the head, but we don't need it.
Exalted seems to be the direction some of the lead designers want to go, and I won't stand in their way. Skorne as a faction I feel benefits greatly from differentiating models, but immortals are the one unit I'm thinking to double down on (probably not triple because I lack shelf space)
Lastly I think Praetorians and Cataphract need to be in the same theme. It makes logical sense that they work together as an army (Venators are the outcasts to the ranks so theyre separate theme makes a lot of sense). Getting a free Tyrant Rhadeem would be Cygnar good with Tyrant Xerxis in a theme using a full boat of Cetrati, Arcuarii and Swordsmen.
Lastly, Cyclopses and dinosaurs would be niche, zany, and fun to play. I'm thinkin' a theme that gives Naaresh the freedom to dance around the board with a load of beasts. Actually, this would likely fall into the same theme category as the "Bring beasts get solos" theme so that may be a good place for them already.
I think that about covers all that I expect from Skorne in the forseeable future.
Edit: Minions! can't forget them, A theme would be nice, but distracting. I'm trying to make Makeda 1, Rasheth, or Morghul 2 work with a heavy load of outside faction models. There's already some pretty neat interactions. One list in particular has me playing Mordikaar and Wrong Eye and Snapjaw. Because of the already present synergies with Despoiler and Void spirits, it already feels like a theme. Free points or added benefits will only add icing to the already heavily iced cake.

I want the beast them to be a "paingiver" theme.They do alot of the beast training and being able to take bloodruners as screeners or maybe even a unit with ambush would be amazing.
My unrealistic theme: Free stuff per 25 points Unit of bloodruners gains ambush. Beasts get hyper agresive./+2" deployment
Ugh just realized this is already the celaphyx theme but a man can still dream.
