if you can mind hunt/assassinate all his commanders then you can just crumble those undead. make a weak point in your line and when he pours in troops mind hunt his commanders away (and on the battlefield use mind burn)

Soul Gate's undead aren't mindless, so they won't crumble, they'll just rout, and 1 point of PD is all it takes to prevent that. For that same reason, Mind Burn and Soul Slay won't work nearly as spectacularly as they do against the Ashen Empire.
