Trying to help my GF decide what to buy next and maybe get some gift ideas. So I'd like to at least have some idea of what I'm building towards. So I'm hoping to get a couple of 75 point list ideas so we're not just buying a pile of models (like I did), then in the meantime we'll build and play with smaller lists out of the pieces. I'd also prefer she didn't get stomped, but... Unfortunately I've been given some rules as to what she's willing to use.
Here's what she owns so far:
Morvahna 2 Kaya 3
Argus Moonhound Gorax Rager x3 Pureblood Warpwolf x3 Scarsfell Griffon Warpwolf Stalker Wild Argus x3
Bloodweaver Night Witch x2 Druid Wilder Gallows Grove x2 Lord of the Feast Tharn Wolf Rider Champion
Tharn Bloodtrackers with Nuala the Huntress Tharn Bloodweavers
More stuff she's willing to own:
Kaya 1 Kaya 2 Morvahna 1 Tannith 1 Una 2
More beasts
Another Tharn Wolf Rider Champion
Sentry Stone & Mannikins Shifting Stones (but not Stone Keeper) More Tharn Bloodweavers Tharn Wolf Riders
So... Essentially lady warlocks, lady druids, lady tharns, rocks, sticks, and monsters. Preferably in theme. Apologies in advance.

Kaya1 is very strong in small point games but not amazing in 75 points. Kaya2 is solid. Morvahna1 is not played much these days because she's much better against an infantry meta. I feel like she pairs much more naturally with skinwalkers, but 2 units of wolf riders could work. I don't know how competitive it'd be. Tannith1 is a great choice, but you can't buy her without an additional pureblood, wild argus, and gorax yet (and you don't need more of those). Una2 is still pretty competitive with scarsfell spam lists. I personally avoid spam lists since they seem much more likely to get nerfed.
You should ask her about Lanyssa Ryssyl. Threat extension is really good in a lot of lists.
I haven't played enough with those warlocks to really recommend lists sorry.

Can't go wrong with Kaya 2 she's pretty solid. Has she considered Kromac 1? It looks like she's sticking primarily with female casters (girl power!) but Kromac1 is basically Morvanas Side Chick/Guy/? He's basically enslaved to her body...*shivers*
He also plays a pretty fun assasination and attrition style that she makes for enjoy.
Tanith is an amazing Caster I literally can't recommend her enough I always have a blast playing her!
Tanith 1 List ideas Tanith Loki Stalker Feral Druid Wilder Blackclad Wayfarer X2 Gallows Grove Hutchuck Reeves Max with UA Sentry Stone and Manikins X2
Tanith is a pretty versatile caster. I normally take reeves standard as thier synergy with her Debuffs and playstyle is just really good. Loki is a pretty awesome choice too

I can get Tannith by herself from Discount Games if I have to. I actually got the Purebloods, Goraxes, and Arguses from open battleboxes.
She likes Morvahna 2 with a lady tharn gunline thus far for small point games, so I was thinking about Wolf Riders, but they seem a bit squishy to make for a proper screen. That said, I haven't been playing any guns against her.

You might be able to pull off a morvana2 tharn army Morvana 2 - devower theme Gorax 2xpureblood warpwolf 2xgallows grove 2xshifting stones Tharn bloodweavers Max tharn bloodtrackers w/nuala Max tharn wolf riders Tharn wolf rider champion bloodweaver night witch
It uses a couple models you didnt mention but the night witch fits the theme.
Outside of that im not seeing much. Circle usually plays better with a smattering of everything. Wolfs, stones, etc.

Tharn under morvana2 are fairly resistant to non-aoe shooting between def 14 and fog of war

Outside of that im not seeing much. Circle usually plays better with a smattering of everything. Wolfs, stones, etc. That's pretty close to what I had in mind. I think I had Lord of the Feast instead of the Stones just so the free heart tokens have someplace to go, but I still don't think he's worth it. I really wish I could sell her on the Death Wolves. Shifting Stones are pretty cheap though, so I might actually buy them for a little flexibility. I'll probably have her proxy Wolf Riders to see how she likes them beforehand since they're expensive and the the Wolf Rider Champion hasn't blown my mind thus far. They seem like they might be able to get some work done under Morvahna 2 though.

She's pretty much determined to play a whole army of ladies and monsters, and I feel like that was definitely a better idea in Mk2 when we started collecting. I can't even get her to play Reeves. I'm like, "Look, this one is a lady! They're probably all ladies under those helmets!"

Kromac 2 has promise. Worst case scenario, I want the model really badly. I'd probably have ended up playing Circle myself if he'd been around when I started collecting.

Sculpt some breasts onto the other casters and feminise their names? If you are only playing each other, what does it matter?
Kromacy, Bauldella, krugeranna, Gayle, Bradigusa...

Not what I would call optimal but this would certainly function well and be fun to play:
Circle Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] The Devourer's Host
(Morvahna 1) Morvahna the Autumnblade [+28] - Gorax Rager [7] - Pureblood Warpwolf [17] - Pureblood Warpwolf [17] - Warpwolf Stalker [19] Bloodweaver Night Witch [0(4)] Bloodweaver Night Witch [4] Gallows Grove [2] Lord of the Feast [6] Shifting Stones [3] Tharn Bloodtrackers (max) [16] - Nuala the Huntress [4] Tharn Bloodweavers [8]

I like that you're thinking outside the box, and it's none of my business how Circle Warlocks choose to spend their weekends. Unfortunately the all lady models is a weird hobby/aesthetics thing and I don't know that I could convince her to convert Krueger in drag. Maybe proxies? She has expressed interest in playing against other people though. I like the look of that Morvahna 1 list though.
