Hey, I'm trying to figure out what skorne warlock goes best with a heavy warbeast dependent list. I plan to play with 1 of each titan and an additional gladiator backed by two units of paingivers to help manage fury. Pretty much, I don't really care if it never wins, I just want to know what warlock fits my "brutality first, finesse never" approach. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If it's 750, why not eMorghul? With elite cadre his paingivers
have a higher CMD stat than he does, iirc.

How many points are you playing? Two gladiators, a cannoneer and a bronzeback don't leave enough points to purchase a warlock. It's best to start with smaller games and work your way up.

Assuming you're playing at 500 points, one of each titan and two units of paingivers leaves you with 83 points -- just enough for any warlock. Makeda and Zaal aren't good choices because they're both very infantry dependent. Hexeris might work, but there's no good target for death march. Morghoul fits the list thematically, but is more of a finesse warlock. Taking him leaves 26 points which you can spend on either a Feralgeist, Orin Midwinter, or the swamp gobbers, any of which would help. If you want a beatstick warlock, your best bet is Xerxis. He has upkeeps that complement the gladiator and bronzeback, and has a Heel ability that stops him from getting smashed from frenzies. His big downside is that his feat affects only warrior models, so his only good target for it is himself.
