New Idea for Classes?

So I have recently been reading up on Warhammer and even with the class cuts I am still interested to see what Mythic has been working on these last couple of years. After reading the information about the class cuts( old news now) Mr. Jacobs stated that they may put the classes in later if they become entertaining to play, he also stated they may add new classes at a later date to replace the lost ones.
My question to the hard-core Warhammer lore people floating around is, which classes might be a good replacement for the ones lost?
I do not know alot about the lore but after checking out some web-sites I saw
- Dwarf Slayer
- Empire Knight Panthers( I think thats right)
Could not really find alot on Orc classes (suprisingly) or Dark Elves.
Anyone have any thoughts on new classes that might be fun?
If this has already been posted I apologize

well the choppa and black guard are fine if ya ask me as far as the class goes .
They could go with a savage orc, taking the same esc mechanics where it just uses what ever it can to kill and it has a ball and chain instead of axes or swords.
Same goes for dwarfs usuing slayers, those to are prty alike, both the crazy kinda use w/e they can type of style. So if anything id expect slayers and savages, both revolve around the whole use w/e they can sence of fighting and dont have much armor but alot attack.
Now that i think about it id be more inclined to play a savage then a choppa
Black guards are fine
As for the knight they could do either panther or blazing sun, depends what they are shooting for more.
Some ideas:
-Orc Savage --Melee dps, light armor magical tatoos/tribal clothing. Crude weapons like claws, bones, etc.
-Reiksguard--Tank for empire. They actually have non-mounted reiksguard in the tabletop, so they make more sense than the other knight orders.
-Knight of the white wolf-Tank for empire
-Executioner-Dark elf tank, 2h weapons.
-Warrior- Dark elf tank, shield & spear/sword (lame name though...)
-Miner-- Dwarf Melee dps. Medium armor, better tank than most melee dps, at expense of some dps. Uses mining picks, & earth based support moves.
All they would really have to do is rename the Black Guard, Executioner. Since I am pretty sure that is what the Black Guard is modeled after (as far as I know there is no "black guard" unit. Executioner is such a better name anyway.
Sent me an email if you want me to mail you some pizza rolls.
Yeah there is a Black Guard in the table top, they are a special unit under the direct command of Malekith, Witch King of Naggaroth.
However as far as the last Dark Elves Codex (rule book) there was no unit called Disciple of Khaine, or at least as well as I can remember. This might change with the release of the New army list that is coming out in Aug.
Executions shouldn't be a tank class (if ever made) but a two handed DPS class, since thats their focus in the original game (single shotting almost all regular units with lucky rolls).
They could change witch elf to assassin (or if you play Male Assassin, Female Witch Elf) since they are at their core very similar (both use poisons, dodge for their saves and so on). Also I'd have like to seen Corsairs as a playable class. Charging into battle with their Sea-dragon cloaks.
