No MA C'tis guides :(

Some people seem to like a strong bless for the Oiorpata. I'd imagine that situationally, a 9W/?N that I've seen mentioned a few times, would make Sirrush pretty gnarly. Especially if you have a Conjuration bonus site. Even then, just some regen and maybe a shaman to cast Body Ethereal on them, and you've got some really durable anchors for your line.

It's viable but believe me, even with Conjuration bonus site you may find much better way to use your pearls.

I wonder if you get anything but misc slots with a GoR.

Of course, not.

Surely it depends on the situation? Please correct me if I am wrong but Sirrush is size 6 (immune to trampling), not undead, has three attacks to Bane Lord's one, more HP, much faster on the battlemap, and you have cheap mages that can cast luck anyway. I would have thought they serve different purposes.

Sirrush is a monster unit while Banelord is a perfect durable commander which with right equipment can easily be turned into horrifying killing machine. Yes, they definitely serve different purposes but I just can't find any for Sirrush .
