No blood expert here, but I'd suggest another nation and option for SC killing: Any Vanheim theme with Valkyries is an option for a nice bless effect. F9W4 for instance - they may not get as many attacks as your eagle warriors, but with a mirror image and high defense they're fairly sweet. Another option with them is death blessings, allowing them to rout archers and whatnot - again, the mirror image helps keep them alive long enough for the fear to take effect.

The problem is Mirror Image or a Water blessing doesn't help Valks to survive lethal auras like Breath of Winter or Soul Vortex, or even a big Fire Shield, and it's likely many high-end SCs you'll meet will use at least one of these. Fire-9 Valks may have a high attack rating, but their damage rating is still low compared to Eagle Warriors, and it may not be enough vs hyper-prot SCs with gobs of hitpoints for them to get the edge here. EWs have twice as many attacks, and if they can get a STR bonus on at least 2 of them on top of that (I believe the STR bless bonus doesn't apply the the extra 'holy' fire attacks - maybe I'm wrong), then all the better. Vicious' idea here is to kill these SCs ___FAST___, before they, or their auras, kill a significant number of your flying sacred troops.
Plus, EWs are considerably cheaper than Valks - 4 times less, so what's not to like?
