155 points? That's a lot. For my own curiosity I'll make a list of what makes the lord of the gates that much more expensive.

Pretender cost makes it 60 points cheaper.
Starting dom 3 in stead of 4 adds 49 points to dom10
Higher new path cost adds 30 points.
Starting with D1 instead of D3 adds 136 points to get D10.
49+30+136-60 = 155.

imo the lord of the gates might be usefull if you want a really cheap god... NOT good for an expensive monster.

For a SC to crush indep armies, try a Prince of Death, it has 111 points left with those magic paths and dom10. The Awe+fear combo really rocks.

A ghost king casting air shield and iron skin can go through most indeps... just keep him away from F9W9 vans. Cant really get Death9 or 10 with it either, try 5-7.
