IMO Khans are better thugs than the old guys. A pair of them buffed with body ethereal/wooden warriors/luck(all of them can be cast by a N2D1S1 spirit master) can be very effective flanker with bodyguards. If I need more offensive power, just giving them a couple of frost brands and they can slash their way through most humanoid elite troops.
