Vague noob idea for new GK heroes

Just airing thoughts, nothing serious, and stuff the fluff. I dont know how the Eversor is going so I'm just throwing stuff out.

A/The "Lord Inquisitor"(heh) - copy the Lord General and have a support/defensive ranged dude with a retinue - keep the default 2 stormtroopers, and maybe just copy models from existing GK units as retinue upgrades? A Warrior Acolyte, an Operative, and.... uhhh Karskin Sargent? - trying to keep the whole retinue non power armour but I cant think of anything else. For the main Lord model just steal the regular Inquisitor or put her sick hat on the LG model? Lots of psyker powers/buffs, archeo-tech weapons, and xeno stuff that can be copied from existing abilities?

Custodian - yeah the golden dudes stuff and fluff. Melee hero but unlike BroCap is fast and like the Warlock leaping around knock stuff back and slicing shit up. Maybe a golden SS model with pointy helmet? Regular power armour with a halberd, long melee charge range, power melee focused etc. Inspire of kill? Can call down stuff/reinforcements because its a Custodian? Calldown global is a bunch of Warrior Acolytes in a huge squad for fanatical religious mob slaughter to throw at enemy guns ( lol like Rippers).

So basically one hero that slams the warlock and force commander together, and another that slams the lord general and the inquisitor together?

Ehh somewhat, not very original (or good) I know, but I was thinking about:
-distinguishing them from fatty slow BroCap; and
-not requring brand new assests to be created etc.

I like the idea of squad ranged hero, but I think BC is somewhat supportive already. Perhaps it can be a aggressive ranged hero, leading the charge with PAGK (strikes?) to represent his seniority that commands the respect/protection of GKs. But maybe with reg infantry armour for balance

this is heresy

Sry if unbalanced; similarly un-informed noob musings here

The inclusion of new GK commanders IMHO it would imply the rework of the BC.
