Helheim has einheres, doesn't it? That's all the infantry you'll ever need.

Without totally killing my scales, I think I came up with a very good jack-of-all trades pretender.

With only 4 astral, you can't use him against any nation with astral mages. You also only have order 1, which will severely limit the amount of troops you can have. Death 4 only gives you a single point boost over your best death mages, which isn't that great of a deal.

My GK managed to take out 4 hydras, a situation I'm not sure the supposedly superior Allfather would have managed well.

The allfather would have done just as well, since hydras are not particularly strong troops. It only takes a dozen militia to kill a single hydra.
