OK, so it's pretty clear that Savathun is going to find a way to make her so called Hive guardians. I think most of us assume that every Hive puppet is going to be gifted with the light, but...
If you look at the trailer for WQ, specifically the part where Savathun brings forward the Hive ghosts, if you look carefully you'll see it's maybe a handful of them. I'd say somewhere between 10 and 20. Considering a small lore piece of Crow telling Ikora that he had to steal 'a handful' of dead ghosts from spider, I'm thinking that definitely not all Hive are going to be Lightbearers.
My thought is that she is going to have a bunch of special soldiers or guards that can wield the light. Perhaps turning them into something similar to the scorn bosses from Forsaken. But then again, it's just a theory 😉

Would be better if it was just guardian armor mixed with hive ruins and chitin all over them. You know another idea for zombie guardians kinda. Could even make a new subclass out of the idea as well. One that is actually dark powers. Evil powers.
