Will we ever see Gnoblar wolf riders?

original thread ↗

So as the title says will we ever see Gnoblar wolf riders?

I think its a real possibility in the development route to add a few more units to the book and fluff wise not far fetched
Samurai Ogres of Nippon

That would be a great addition to the army! And make everyones favourite little green dudes more useful to boot.
When's dinner?
Come on guys, we have to keep this fluff accurate here, none of this Wolf Rider nonsense.

Now, Sabretusk riders on the other hand...

Ogres - because who honestly likes 2 wound heroes?
Hell yeah. It would be nice to get some Gnoblar variations, maybe even a Hero option.

Gnoblars on sabres would be so cool. Heh, imagine a lone Gnoblar Sabre Rider with the trappers rule. Shenanigans in 3...2...1..
Personally I'd like to see Gnoblar Sabertusk riders.

A 2 wound fast cav unit that is immune to psyche (the sabers are too angry at being mounted to care what happens around them), and then goes to random movement after charging a unit because the riders have lost control of their mounts.
I've always figured that to have an "All Gnoblar" list with some level of close combat ability and still keep Ogres out of the picture; maxed units of sabretusks would be the only option. I could imagine some Gnoblars desperately clinging onto a sabretusk's back,  others cleverly strapped on and using some kind of long pointy prod to goad the sabre in the right direction.

I'd be keen to see someone have a crack at such a conversion.
Gnoblar on sabertusk nah.  Gnoblar on cold ones, perfect.

(This is currently my saber tusk count as)

I just see a bunch of gnoblers on some kind of rig, riding a Mournfang into battle. You know, the big baskets on elephants with four or five archers up there... but instead of four or give gnoblers, it is as much as they can cram up there, and they are armed with anything from pistols, to angry hedgehogs.
