I would like to see some benefit to defeating horrors ... But more interesting would be actually gaining power and abilities as you kill them. Perhaps boosting astral magic... or gaining some otherworldly things.

Wow, that's an awesome idea!
It would be really cool if by killing a horror you absorb its powers, you could have the weaker ones give simple bonuses like +1MR, and then the uber-horrors could make you etheral or lucky

I did have one of my commanders (the Mictlan Eagle Priest... not the best choice to subject a national hero to this) draw a Hunter of Heroes within several turns of having Nethgul.

Even killed it the first time, before I made the error of switching out the Spirit Helm for a Wraith Crown; the lightning is actually far more useful than the longdead here. Armor of Souls + MR amulet + heroic defense helped. Probably should have used a Phoenix Rod; Horrors are lacking in elemental resistances.
