Best sacred units?

Interesting to see a vote for Black Hunters and Flagellants.

I tend to like the Black Hunters as well. They're similar to the Jotun Woodsmen (once the rider dies ) with poison and webs. If you can keep the rider alive, they get an extra attack. The are a bit expensive and resource intensive, tho.

I like Flagellants, C'tis Serpent Dancers, and Mictlan troops as well, but I use them differently: they can be produced in bulk, so even tho they die like flies, they can be used in mass attacks. With say, a death-4 fire-4 blessing, they can often rout larger forces by inflicting enough little wounds and fear to cause morale collapse.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "best" sacred troops.

As for sacred commanders I *really* like Jotun Herses with a N9 bless they rock! 60 gold and they can be recruited anywhere. Put 8-10 in the front rank of a small-medium army and they p0wn!

My vote for most cost effective would be Daoine Sidhe. But it's capitol only. My vote for best non-capitol would be the van.
