I love the way the army looks so I bought in. First list I came up with was:
Xerxis
-Tiberion
-Krea
Supreme Guardian
Ancestral Guardian
Ancestral Guardian
Novititate
Novititate
Novititate
Abidan
Hakaar
Immortals with Advocate
Immortals with Advocate
Immortals with Advocate
So, that list feels good to me, where I struggle is what other casters and what are their beasts:
Obvious choices:
Zaal and Zaal2
I was toying around with the idea of 2x cannonners with these guys. I've got more than enough melee output with the army, but I am missing quality ranged attacks.
Some dark horse casters, i'd like to try:
Rasheth
Morghul3
Hexeris
Would love to hear suggestions.

Are you new to skorne or just immortals models? I wouldn't advise pairing two exalted lists but if you're just looking for several different casters to try with them you're on the right track.
The zaals are both pretty good. I think Makeda 2 and 3 may have potential as well.
Mak3 uses the army to get herself close and whatever survives can make good use of incite.
Mak2 might have some game as well. Stay death only works on the living models but it's a good way to make sure your precious UAs don't get sniped out. Hakaar plays well with storm rager and deflection stacks with the us deff but for def 15 vs shooting on the way in.
My other dark horse is mordikaar. Direct spirits on the battle engine let's him collect souls without relying on hollow. His feat gets your immortals up to def 16 and his ghostly spell means almost your entire army can ignore freestrikes and rough terrain. His value has gone down a bit though since the let anyone take dispoiler in the exalted theme.

I think that Jalaam might also be an interesting choice due to anti shooting tech via feat and good ways to snipe out opponents support.

Near army-wide Immovable Object is too good to be left out of a pairing. Considering how much push/place I see in strong list pairings, flat denial is incredibly powerful. Krueger2's game is mostly shut out cold. Ossrum loses his Bulldoze scenario play, and if paired with Thexus they are both screwed. Wurmwood loses a lot of his game, including threat extension. These are just some of the ones off the top of my head.

Thanks for the input. I dont play Skorne at all and im just looking to play the Immortals theme force as a bit of fun. I dont know that i'll make a pairing, although if I am jumping on Bandwagons, I could probably really enjoy turtles.

Rasheth is great in Exalted. Friendly dudes he kills by channeling through them still provide souls, and his feat really boosts Immortals a lot. |

I don't think that she's the best caster for Exalted, but after getting a suitable battlegroup for her you only have enough points for 2 full Imortals and some solos. I think it's actually one of the best mixed lists in Exalted, meaning you don't need to buy very deep into that theme. |
