I think the army looks good overall. One thought would be to drop the boneshaper and shrieker for a soulreaper and the predator. Yes the soulreaper is worse, but the predator is a something else helpful to your army (damage) while the shriekers +1 to hit is already there on the helm artifact. The soul reaper isn't terrible with the 3+ save, especially if you give him the other artifact and/or make him the general.
To be fair the soul reapers ability when paired with Arkhan's command ability is 3 units within 9" which feels a little better and the scythe is 2" so he could comfortably sit behind 2 ranks of mortek on 25mm and still fight. The rest of the army probably has enough regen to not miss his 3 wounds/models that much either. i'll likely give it a go as i'll get the endless spells regardless and 1 more hero option is nice (tried to fit a mortisan trident in but it means more morteks and it starts getting more expensive for starting army, will probably go that way though so soul reaper is on my buy list).

7 Drop with 6RDP+9D6 per battle roundPlenty of things to do. i've toyed with swapping the crawler for a unit of 40x mortek instead of 20 + the carrion endless spell. I really like the harvester model. Hated it at first, but once it was up on the GW store and i could spin it 360 I changed my mind quite quickly. The crawler is solid but with the limited unit count and deathriders out front it'll be real easy to get round the back of it. I've been procrastinating on my Arkhan for months and really want to use him too. reckon having 40 guard and no crawler might give more options as it'll be easier to field a 1k list with 40 morteks on hand rather than 20.
The immortis guard/ stalkers look fun but im not convinced when you compare their mobility to riders and the difficulty in bringing them back. Also i've been wanting a decent mounted skellybob unit for flippin ages. -

So Kavalos get exploding hits on 5+ when they charge. 4+ if you get the spell off. What I think is amazing is that it goes from and "unmodified 6" to a 5+, allowing your bonuses to hit to actually kick off.
Sorry dude, you've skipped over the 'unmodified' in the spell description , the spell states the roll changes to an 'unmodified hit roll of 5+ instead of 6', or 4+ if charging spear armed dearthriders.
Would have been interesting but probably not intended. think i'll stick to swords over spears, with a liege kavalos helm of ordained and the command ability plus petrifex command ability they're looking quite nice. -
Toying with 2 lists, both Petrifex Elite.

List 1 nets 5 RDP + 9D6List 2 nets 4 RDP + 7D6
I like the idea of List 2 having more bodies on the field, but i think i prefer list 1 because there are more options (both with the variety of models and the extra RDP) 5x deathriders too few for a BL?
I'd like the battalion just to add the extra artifact as you have to take the petrifex ones first if you go that route and i like the helm/ key artifacts.
Let me know what you think

6- rdp down to 5rdp
A good start but you're missing a trick. Right now with your current set up you have a respectable 5 drops and 4 Relentless discipline (+7 chances at additional pts).
If you drop the unit of 15 deathriders back down to 10 and change the harvester to another crawler and swap the soulmason for a boneshaper you can get a second warscroll, the mortis ballistari. You then have 70pts to play with after too (good for shrieker and nightmare endless spells). The down side is you cant use the third artifact but you do get 5 RDP and your list becomes a 2 drop list. Just some ideas but figured it wasnt to disimilar to what youve got.
