The Tantalus has a rule called "Chairot of the tortured souls" that permits any friendly unit that is in line of sight with your warlord embarked on the Tantalus to use his leadership value instead (except if the said unit is in cover). How do you think we can take the most advantage of this so fluffy (in name) rule? Maybe having near beasts?

squads of wyches, beasts, mandrakes(pretty much anything that isnt an incubi with a klaivex) in combat it can stand behind them providing the buff to LD keeping moral casualties lower by providing a reminder of what happens to those who fail.
or it can charge in with them, its no slouch itself

Beasts are probably the best use - negating one of their biggest weaknesses.
EDIT: It does say all "Friendly" units. That's food for thought.

Just sayin', if the rules says warlord, you could use a succubus (Ld 8 ) with Ld drugs to offer a sweet Ld 10 to your fellow companions.
Pretty sure it's not the best use you can make of this, but, meh.
And I also agree on buffing beasts =)
