So I got the Skorne Battlegroup box, Master Tormentor Morghoul Warlock, 2 Cyclops Savage Light Warbeasts and a Titan Gladiator Heavy Warbeast. I am also waiting for a box of plastic Cataphract Arcuarii that will arrive sometime after they get released.. But I dont know what else to get...

That Morghoul is called 'pMorg' for short
pMorg is primarily a beast caster, meaning he wants powerful beasts in his list, tho since because all his beast improvements are single target he prefers a good amount of heavy beast instead of a ton of lights

First grab Pain Givers Beast Handlers, they are in 80-90% of Skorne lists

Next you need to grab strong heavy beasts, the strongest of which being the Bronzeback Titan

I dont realy want many warbeasts and I'm thinking of getting another Warlock.. The warlocks I like is Supreme Aptimus Zaal, Tyrant Xerxis and Void Seer Mordikaar. I like having strong survivable infantry that can deal good damage..

Even so, you will want that Bronzeback.

With Hordes, you need at least 3 beasts for Fury generation. The reason for this is you are pretty much screwed if you lose all your beasts, so having backup fury generation is important.

Yeah if you don't want warbeasts I would recommend running a different warcaster, either way a Bronzeback, Paingiver Beast Handlers are really nice, a brute is nice with pMorg too. The Gladiatior/Bronzeback combo is really nice with most casters as the synergy between the 2 of them is so good, Gladiator casts Rush on Bronzeback and Bronzeback lets the gladiator auto pass thresh tests, so you can push the gladiator to the limit with boosts and extra attacks and don't have to worry about losing control of it. If you like the look of Cataphract look to Xerxis.

I would recommend Xerxis then

Since you already have Arcuarii on the way

Xerxis is best played either using Tier list or using super heavy list

With Tier I use 2 boxes of either Arcuarii and Incindiarii to make several small squads of these units. Tyrant Commander is recommended as well.

Without Tier, I suggest using Krea, Nihilators and Cetrati. A reptile hound can be used for Fury (just keep him next to you)

The Bronzeback Titan is sooo good, I hate seeing them on the table. Those two peices are in 80% of the lists i see people play.

Xerxis cataphractii brick! It looks just amazing, doooo iiiit.

Thats xerxis, krae, another beast like the shieldguard one/a gladiator, then buckets of certratii and incendiari.
