I thought that the walkthrough was Niefelheim, but I may be mistaken, I have never played it.

If it's not Niefelheim, you can turn Bane Lords into Stompers.

Bane Lord (10N)

Wraith Sword (or Blood Thorn)
Jade Armor (1E1W)
Flying Boots
Antimagic Amulet
Luck Amulet
Then for a hat you can use a Horror Helm or Wraith Crown.

Or you can put it on your normal Jarls, thought they will be slightly fatigued until they start cutting into units. Just depends.

I'd just use Vaetti to fill the gaps if you wanted. Clockwork horrors are a bad pick in my opinion since they run down so quick, unless you can chaincast Relief. If you can't, try using Mechanical Men to fill the gaps.

Edit: The reason I prefer stompers, is because they are highly manuverable, can take out armies by themselves or in pairs (no worries about moving massive armies or getting mages to command undead/magic beings) and can be switched from offense to defense on the drop of a dime. It's certainly not for everyone, just how I prefer.
