Both Grim1 and the Hunters Grim. Each will upkeep spells and support their army with typical Trollblood animi every turn. Grim1 should be taking out a solo or UA every turn or else marking a heavy to slingshot one of yours or netting someone to start an assassination or open up LoS. He'll occasionally throw out an offensive spell or debuff. This would happen a lot more if Trolls ever get the ability to channel.
Grim2 does a lot of the same as Grim1 in terms of upkeeping and support. He is not quite the sniper his first version is (apparently forgot how to wear his goggles), but should still be taking out a key model most turns or tagging heavies to support your beasts. Additionally, he has a debuff that needs to be landed EVERY turn and comes with two pals that will have abilities to give you some more board control placing traps and knocking things down.
Would also like to mention Jarl Skuld. He should be wiping out a few Infantry every turn and swift huntering away or scalpling support while putting dents in heavies. Poor guy is so fury starved, though. He could really use powerful attack on the pistols or something or some way to upkeep for free if not a straight increase to Fury.
I see Mohsar, Wurmwood, and Krueger have all been mentioned. Each are controlly warlocks with deep toolkits and amazing spells. They will be doing a lot every turn. Placing salt pillars and forests, cutting down infantry or opening lanes with Crevasse, Hellmouth, playing chess with TK. Very busy warlocks.

Twins! Slinging Spells, Killing stuff. And the feat is essentially trading a caster twice to get up in attrition.

Ret, everyone but Issyria when I play them (so many good guns and arc nodes) with special mention to Rahn and Kaelyssa. Trolls, Madrak2, Gunny, Jarl, Grimm is generally shooting something almost every turn. Back when I owned Circle it was Grayle, so much Grayle. And Kromac2. Just realized both my main factions play really active casters. As opposed to my first faction, Mercs, where I really only play Magnus2 or Damiano and they are both supportive. Interesting thought exercise, I'll have to follow up on that later.

I'll toss in Calaban for being a really active warlock. Hot swapping buffs (carnivore, occultation), de-buffs (parastie, hex blast) and offensive spell slinging (bone shaker, hex blast). Also during his feat turn he will be casting a spell every other time an enemy dies.

Most warlocks who don't just upkeep and hide are pretty "active". If you want the top takers,
Butcher3 Old Witch2/3 Haley3 (her echoes) Stryker2 Sloan Sorcha1 Karchev Reznik1/2 Thyra Terminus Rahn Garryth Kaelyssa Thyron Axis Baldwin Lukas Grim1/2 Grissel1/2 Bearka Grayle Kromac1/2 Wurmwood Abby2 Lylith1/2/3 Kallus2 Thags2 Morghoul2/3 Rasheth Hexy2 Jalaam Mordikaar I don't know Grymkin Ashlynn Thexus Crosse2 Barnabus2 Calaban Rask
I left off stuff that's active but you never see it. Ever. Like Butcher2

I don't know that I can get on board with that list. I see Kromac1 on there and he really isn't what I would consider an "active" Warlock. Honestly, if you get active with him he dies pretty regularly. He's really only got Rift, I think is his attack spell, to project with, and he rarely does that.
Ashlynn too, is not particularly active, a gunshot maybe here and there, but mostly she's historically been a support caster that dies when she starts to get frisky.
Even casters like Thyron and Stryker2 don't want to get in until the bitter end. Stryker is more of a closer and Thyron rarely steps in before he can bully the board with his survivability.
There's a bunch on there I will recognize, but if you're not Rahn-esque type spellslinger or a Caine/Grim/Sloan shooter type, I would have a hard time putting a lot of casters into the "active" definition. Obvious caveats to killers like Madrak2 and Butcher3.

For the factions I play (and the Warnouns I've played): For combat, Thyra, Axis, Locke. For spell slinging, Severius 1 and Wormwood.

Obvious caveats to killers like Madrak2 and Butcher3. I based my list on, are you doing lots of things for more than 1 turn definition. Also we got ourselves a bit of, are you super active during your feat turn. Sure Stryker2 just hangs out most of the game. He's bullying you with what he "can" do. The fact that he can get very far and kill literally anything in the game. At some point in the game, he will. Thyron, maybe it's me, but I've never seen a game go past turn 5 where Thyron doesn't come out to play, not out of desperation, but because you can control what threatens him then. Ashlynn, I'll give you. I have only theoretical knowledge of her. She looks like she gets real active on feat turn, then hides again.
