I agree with a lot of your suggestions, except the Fire Blessed sacreds solution. A Niefel Giant with a N8 Bless will regenerate something like 10 hps per round. I just don't see how some of your suggested sacreds of Mictlan or Lanka can overcome this in 2-3 rounds (before they become fatigued out with cold aura).
As I said: ... if combined with other options these nations have.
We are talking about Nifel rush so key battle(s) will take place in warm provinces. The sacreds of both Lanka and Mictlan will deal good amount of damage against lower def, prot and weaker cold aura of the Giants.
Lanka will bring undead chaff to the battle. Mictlan, as Chris mentioned above, will have advantage in numbers.
Fire blees alone is not enough to stop Nifelheim but Lanka and Mictlan are far from defenseless.
