They said they were not looking at nerfing the turtle at that time, but it hasn't gotten a free ride forever. It's almost guaranteed to not be in CID though.
And I am hoping that more than 2 Warbeasts make it in. I'm hopeful for at least Mammoth, noncharacter Titans and the Sentinel. That would make 6 beasts (with Tiberion getting the obligatory discount post-CID). They could throw the Brute and Savage in to make that 8, but lets not get our hopes up too high.

If Mordikaar gets looked at, I would expect the Despoiler to also have a glance as well.
If they haven't finished releasing models, maybe Zaal would get a Character Beast as well. If so, I wonder if it would be based on any current Beast or be something more original.

Oh yes please, more characters. Despoiler is pretty much fine except for being a tad expensive (16-17p would probably be good) and being tied to one caster.

It could be a Shaman that hasn't died yet. (Though, it would be nice to stay in theme.)

I always wanted an "re-interned" Kovaas for a construct beast. What they do with those is put them in new sacral stone, then bury it deep. Think Khador's Ruin.

Tying despoiler to the theme like tibbers in MOW would also be pretty cool. It would help the theme deal with armor.

Since I mentioned her earlier, I've been thinking about Makeda3 and Exalted.
Hakaar's leadership affects her escorts, correct? Battle Engines can make Overtake movements?
I now hope she does go in for review. She might emerge an interesting warlock in the theme. She definitely needs work, but if she emerged with nothing more than her escorts having the AG tag, that would be a real upgrade in theme. It spares the tax, at a minimum.

It wouldn't spare the tax, exactly, it just concentrates it and pays for it somewhere else. They would be restricted to Makeda's Command and their points come out of Mak3da's Warbeast Points like they already do.

Are you guys talking about the resonance ability? I am confused that ability is on the AG card not on the immortal card so having other AG in the list doesn’t do anything for the immortals. Can you please explain what tax you are talking about?

Can you please explain what tax you are talking about? Yes I was, but I was also implying the Exalted Court models become proper AGs. Give them Resonance, maybe even a soul collecter rule. It's one way to offset more the low warbeast points, and with Makeda's high CMD, she could wven choose to spread them out a little, cover two units of Immortals. Might be an interesting way to tweak her niche. She can then be run as either a Imperial Warhost or Exalted warlock, with a strong option of combined arms inside the latter. We all know she needs work, I for one think an outside the box approach playing around Exalted would be a fun version. Overtake and Geievous Wounds sounds amazing on Hakaar, AGs, the BE, and of course herself or warbeasts. Access to Marketh gives her Eliminator play again. HEr old feat turns were glorious, I never liked that she was such a one turn wonder. Having a bit more infantry-centric gameplay option sounds intereting to me.

Crazy idea, but what if Mordikaar either had a Ranged Pow:- ability or an offensive spell that removed Incorporeal from a unit for a round? Or would that be better saved for a Mordikaar2?

Regarding the upcoming CID, what are the chances it will have unspoiled models. Right now, there's the caster attachment, the BE (which I believe was included in the Ret CID), and the new character AG.
Did the other CIDs with new models have witheld models?

PP have confirmed last week that there are unspoiled models - or model. This week they have said that the CID will start next Wednesday.
