Sorted by priority:
- Forsaken
- 2nd Forsaken
- Naga
After that it depends on what lists you play and/or want to build up.
Play OoA? Angelius and BFS.
Play Kryssa? Get Azriel.
Play without themes? Get 2 (!) Deathstalkers.
Shepherds you can always throw into the mix, having 1-2 available often helps with filling those leftover points.
Warlords are cool models but don't find place with many lists. Out-of-theme Fyanna, Kryssa and Rhyas below to those few where I can see them potentially though. Not high priority, especially not if you often play against shooty lists, but a decent possibility with those casters.
Lylyth2 is very meh. Only useable as a hard counter against infanftry skew and those are mostly reserved for team tournaments (or specific meta problems). New(ish) players should stay away from her imho. If you want a new caster, better choose someone else.

Without knowing everything you already have, fill out the auto and near-auto includes: Naga x1, Shepards x3, Forsaken x2, and Martyrs x3. As for the bigger stuff it will depend on your tastes and play style.

I tried out lyllyth2 and absolutely love her (i proxeed with lyllyth1) so thats why she's on the list. |

Well, with one Forsaken already taken care of, that leaves the 2nd one and the Naga. That leaves about 25-35 bucks left, right? So I would recommend either an Angelius or Deathstalkers/Shepherds. If my impression from earlier threads here/in the PP forum is correct, building up a collection you can use with multiple casters would help you more for now.
Of course I'm no one to tell you can't buy/play caster XY, I'm just giving my point of view, so you know what you get yourself into. This wording might sound worse than it is... but I guess you get the gist of it.
If someone likes to have a pewpew caster I recommend either Legions powerhouse Lylyth3, Vayl2 is still strong and has some magical pew and as you've already mentioned Lylyth1, although she imho the hardest one to play from those three.
If you want to play Lylyth2, then go for her, just be aware she plays well into infantry lists but gets eaten alive by Jack spams and similar high ARM/boxes lists and that the latter are more common atm. That you have to evaluate yourself in your meta though.

While I agree on the suggestions to get the Naga and Forsaken, in the current age of theme forces, I don't see the value of Deathstalkers unless you plan on running a Ravens list.

Fair and valid point, but I was operating under the assumption of using the OP's existing warlock stable, who generally prefer either Oracles or Children. Slightly off topic, but for what it's worth, I've been messing with the idea of running Rhyas in Ravens for access to Raptors and Seraphs. |

Angelius since it benefits from both stat buffs. Also makes boosting hit optional for DEF10. |
