I want to see Terminus on a huge base! That is all I need in my life.

I've wanted to see Ravyn 2 as a unit with Fane Knights since Butcher 3 and Makeda 3 showed off the idea. I would also love to see a Battle Engine caster, a caster with a companion model (i.e. Old Witch and Kaya 2), a caster that transforms like Kromac 1, or really anything other than a solo caster standing around with a sword/spear/gun.

Mordikaar2, returned as some sort of abomination (think creepy and disfigured rather than gross and bloated). Hurts himself to support the army, has +2DEF and Poltergeist as an Upkeep, grants Deathbound via his feat and steals some Wurm-related spells from Circle. Rather weak defensive stats (other than boxes), but with a few defensive abilities (Soulstorm and/or Guardian Beast).

Intellectually, I suppose Cephalyx could use a third caster. -- SPOILERS FOR GODLESS FOLLOW -- Personally, I'd live to love to see Sevvy 3 as a Colossal caster. With Sevvy dead, the Synod puts his bones in a Judicator Reliquary, Menoth returns his soul to power it. Putting him in a VoJ would also work, but PoM already has a Battle Engine caster.

I don’t like the idea of a colossal caster; I feel like all the boxes of a colossal plus overboosting is just a little too much. There are limits to how much a caster should be able to facetank, and I think Karchev plus about 20-30 boxes, plus all the special rules for colossals (no-knockdown, no-stationary) is a little much. Is it really good for the game to have a caster who can easily facetank three fully loaded juggernauts?.
Anyways, what I would like to see is a female dwarf caster. I don’t think PP has any female dwarf models in the entire line, and it would be nice to see that rectified.

And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men. And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no Dwarf-women, and that Dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground! Which is, of course, ridiculous

Interesting... and reasonable idea to bring back Severius. Brilliant. I don’t like the idea of a colossal caster; I feel like all the boxes of a colossal plus overboosting is just a little too much.

I don’t think PP has any female dwarf models in the entire line, and it would be nice to see that rectified. We want to see one just because it is fun. But I understand your point; a warcaster/warlock with about 60 points of damage box is easily make a meta game problem and it would be not so easy to implement the idea without much problem. But hey... it would be fun to see a colossal warcaster. A conquest with Karchev head module seems fun , and more importantly, as a living warjack and hero of a nation(and an antagonist by my POV ) he deserve such an honor. Even if in-game damage box is only high as a battle engine to warjack level, it would be fine. After all, the important thing would be Karchev on the colossal.

as a khador player it would be nice to get a doomreaver caster, to give them some bonus since you cant target them. maybe a 3rd version of zerkova with her magic stick AND and a doomreaver sword slowly but surely falling into madness

I doubt that it does anything to Zoktavir, though. And it is not so good to change the weapon on him.

i must admit i also agree with Cyel, too much caster isnt good in khador alot of them are playable we are lucky but how many never get a chance to be play it would be better to rework some of them.

At a very high level of generality, I want to see some casters designed to work with themes, given that is how the game is now meant to be played. Things like a rule allowing them to bring a particular type of model (maybe one unit) even if not otherwise allowed in theme (and possibly have those models count for free points). As example of current casters who could fit with that kind of rule, Strakhov with Assault Kommandoes, or Grayle with Wolfsworn. Maybe others who can bring an additional merc/minion unit (might fit some of the blackclad Circle casters, who have long-standing alliances/manipulations).
More specifically: Constance2 - the playable priestess.
Ashlynn2 - I think she's had more fluff time than many (most?) casters with a second incarnation and has changed her role from battlefield commander to full leader of the Resistance. Outside mercs/minions, that would be a sure reason to give her another version.
Gorten2 - he's been off on his own fighting Legion for so long, give him some anti-beasts rules and tech.
Durgen2 - cross-over caster with Order of the Golden Crucible, friends united by a love of experimental explosives.
Darius2 - the one who's discovered that aesthetics are as important as function and redesigns his suit.
In Khador I'd like a caster who can run the Berserker chassis jacks well, in numbers >1, for more than one turn (a feat doesn't cut it). Thematically it should be a Vlad, but he has enough incarnations. Could be a Karchev2, as he's been around long enough to be familiar with the older jacks.
As a non-Cryx player, I'd like to see Darragh Wrathe become a full Iron Lich caster. There are remarkably few Iron Lich casters who aren't also Lich Lords (Gaspy1, Montenebra, Scaverous) - in fact there are as many Lich Lords as regular Iron Lichs. Maybe make him a soulhunter/centaur caster. Perhaps fluff of becoming a lich as his health fails, but hating the form he is given by Terminus? Perhaps some cavalry like bonuses to the bonejacks (might be an excuse for a non-arcnode shooty bonejack).
