Just with a W9 bless the hydras are awesome. I have not had a problem with knights or anything else. I have been using 1-2 big hydras with 18-19 small hydras. You occassionally lose 1 or 2 of the small hydras but thats it.

The only drawback is you only have 1 mage/priest with 100% posion resistance to lead/bless them. He needs armour to protect him from missile fire. Your prophet can of course lead some but he needs a ring of posion resistance.
