One of ways to defeat AQ is to swarm her with something lifeless and wait until she falls unconcious.

Air queens have a base encumbrance of 0.

Right... Hmm... Now I wonder how I've managed to defeat not one, but 2 AQ with some mix of clockworks horrors, wights and cheap undead. That was part of big battle, where I had bunch of other troops and mages including astral-weaponed Ice Devil with the Summit, specifically assigned to kill those AQs (but of course, he made sure to stay away from any fighting and preserve valuable equipment he was entrusted with). Other troops were staying at safe distance from AQ too. And AQ's fatigue went over 100 and only after that I've got them killed. I guess, I've missed my mages casting something useful. Too bad I didn't keep replay.

Regarding the AQ being fatigued versus wights et al, the most obvious suspect to me would be the possibility of the AQ not having cold resist >= 100% and therefore being affected by the chill.

Yep, I think that's what happened.
