To put it out there, the list I have had success with is: Zaal1: - Mammoth! Immortals + UA Swordsmen + UA Hakaar Ancestral x3 Beast Handlers (min) The list is absolutely brutal (Khador 7-jacks not withstanding). I use Last Stand on Swordsmen and Inviolable Resolve on Immortals. The ability to load up souls onto everything, including passing souls to Immortal UA, is absurd. Those Immortals are effectively always SPD 6, MAT 7, DEF 13, Incorporeal on the charge, with rerolls. Try them on the board and they shine much more than they do on paper. Hot swapping Last Stand as needed to an Ancestral Guardian or in a perfect world the Kovaas, and laugh as opponent's models melt. The Mammoth was a tough choice I tried after disliking 5-6 other Beast load-outs. He works providing ranged support until the lines close and then you have a late-game hitter. In most games I won, the Mammoth never even needed to engage.

In addition to losing Marketh's ability to cycle Last Stand, Last Stand became friendly Faction which killed two of my personal favorite Zaal1 builds: Zaamblers and Zaal-terhousers. The former was a flavor of hardhitting recursion dudespam you couldn't get elsewhere in Skorne.
Morghoul2 or Rasheth might be able to run that now, but Last Stand was always just what the Shamblers ordered (and also a convenient way to feed them).
