Never tried them, but at a glance a pretty wide variety of cheap, sacred assassins many of which have magic looks like it could be leveraged into something. I'd think they'd need high order scales because you're going to want many forts to produce as many assassins as you can without neglecting mages. Slayer Worms look like the best deal, their stats aren't too bad and they can bless themselves.

Can't lead an army without commanders.
