Just a thought...
Suppose PP allows Lesser Warlocks/Junior Warcasters to get a Warlock attachment (within a Theme or in general), do you see any broken combos?
I honestly couldn't find a broken one, although it is not worth it most of the time.
Opinions?

I couldn't think of any that are really overpowered in any way. Same with Junior and lesser Warcasters. Nothing stands out as too egregious. Free focus is great and all for a few of them, but it's still on a focus 3 or 4 model and you're almost doubling the cost of the lesser or solo.

The original Lesser Warlocks have their Warbeasts already attached...

I don't see any issue. There aren't any mechanics for an attachment to reattach themselves if their warlock dies and you are doubling/more than doubling the cost of the junior for some minimal gain.
I certainly wouldn't spend 3 points to give Tristan1 or Sevy0 a Heirophant.

If you could bring more Greylord Adjuncts by attaching them to juniors, that could be useful for giving you more access to Guidance in Khador themes that don't have access to a Koldun Lord...
... which is not something I can see a huge use for. Maybe if you wanted a Winter Guard Kommand gunline that ignores cloud walls? Would that be considered OP? You would be spending 16 points for each additional Adjunct, which would severely reduce the points you're actually spending on the gunline of course. Might be better to just go out of theme and bring Koldun Lords instead at that point?

Lessers/Juniors as a collective unit would be just as viable, and more easily produced, than having a solo that attaches to only a Lesser/Junior.
Not to mention, there are so very few of those Lessers and Juniors that the design space would be better applied to making Lesser/Junior UNITS than solos that attached to only one or two other solos in an army. At best, being able to make Crosse1, Wrongeye, etc, as Friendly Faction and allow them to upkeep 1 spell for free may be the only reasons to even consider it.

It probably starts to bend the system a bit when you can take the attachments with general abilities. Corbeau and Reinholt both have useful actions (Parlay/Spyglass) that aren't just relevant to the model they're attached to.
But you really are starting to double up on support...and you've really got to know that it's worth it. I've played with Stryker2 enough to know that support bloat can be problematic if you aren't careful.
But realistically, most of the tools journeymen want are already present in a lot of armies - extra focus/fury (or equivalent) through empower, serenity or accumulator (etc. etc.). The Well of Orboros could also be seen as the next step since its control range buff applies to Una1 as well while supporting the army more generally.

Speaking as a minions player taking Targ would suddenly happen a lot more. And while I'm not sure that would break the game, it might open up access to abilities that normally are restricted because you can only have one attachment in a game. Stuff like Khador being able to take additional greylord adjuncts for guidance.
