Wherefore no soul vortex? They should be at fairly low fatigue (40-ish?) after casting the above spells. I'm not sure whether the communion master needs to be on <attack> also, or whether the Soul Vortex will drain fast enough that one spellcaster will be permissible, but just mix the communion slaves with a bunch of militia or atavi infantry at the beginning and they should start their hobbling-old-man attack at close to 0 fatigue. Thereafter they'll gain fatigue only in melee or from dying, or from the Communion Master if he's not on <attack>. Soul Vortex will be leeching back fatigue at the same time, though, and if you have an E9 bless on top of that I can see them living a good long time.

I'd like Phoenix Pyre more if it did more damage, and this tactic is probably going to be less effective than just enchanting a few Flame Corpses and spamming Magma Eruptions, but hey! it's worth a shot.
