My pretender fatigued out rather quickly, an oversight on my behalf it was a Nataraja using 4 enchanted swords a pendant of luck. I over buffed and ended up at like 80 fatigue it did nice damage but 3 turns later it was sitting still getting swamped.

Your opponents army cost quite a bit more than yours, elephants suck against Van, and you can put better equipment on your Nataraja.

Vs. Van I'd stick with Hoplites screening mages, perhaps with a bunch of javelin armed infantry. Tangle Vines and Earth Meld are effective against high defense units, as are evocations. Area effect spells are nice against Glamour.

For the Nataraja, have a Mystic cast Body Ethereal and Luck on him, equip a Wraith sword (or two!) plus 2 weapons with good defense, add some decent armor and reinvigoration, plus regeneration and quickness if you can get it. Against Vanheim make sure you have lightning resistance and boosted attack to hit Van. Season according to what spells the Nataraja can cast.
