The hard part is getting assassins as Ermor which cant be banished by priests. I havent played Ermor much in Dom2 but Im guessing this is still true.
You can use the heart thing to give assasin skills to any stealth unit. You might use a druid province to create units for that. Hmmm actually I guess in this case just a cheap independent scout would do. Never mind. I guess its not all that hard after all. Good idea.
Banishment has terrible precision and usually misses single units. Furthermore a simple amulet of antimagic will make most undead commanders able to resist 80%+ of the time.
I remember a battle where my level 5 priest was facing a wraith centurion prophet and kept trying to banish him (always missing or being resisted) and I nearly yelled at the screen, "Smite him you fool!"  (I pity the fool that refuses to smite a wraith centurion.) Just because a target is undead does not mean banishment is the most effective option - or even an effective option - against it.
