Yeah, I used quite a few javelineers. They seemed to hold up as well as the other giants in melee, plus the initial javelins before the lines closed. Since they're strength based they get good range and damage.

Hirdmen, Javelineers and Vaetti were my main armies. I didn't use enough Vaetti. They are better than they look. And cheap. and stealthy.

Woodsmen, even blessed, are too vulnerable to arrows.
