Why do people think of various Vanir and Tuatha commanders when they hear someone say 'recruitable super combatant'? I think non-commander Niefel Giants are scary enough with a decent blessing, and 500 pieces of gold for a Niefel Jarl aren't that much more than the 400 needed for a Hangadrott... Niefel Jarls can also cast Quickness on their own, and have a foot slot.

Forgot the Niefel Jarls - they're certainly up there too. One reason I consider the Tuatha to be the best, better than the Niefel, is the innate recuperation. Crippled Niefel Jarls and Van-lords aren't nearly as useful as a healthy Tuatha.
