I actually like my Hashmal even more cost-effective and just use a Lucky Pendant + Bracer of Protection for equipment.

IMHO, Hashmals are the perfect PD killers due to awe + ethereal, but those abilities really suck when facing opposing thugs or mages. Whne facing any kind of planned opposition, they go *boof*, no matter the equipment. Since they're so vulnerable to them already, I try to keep them as cheap as possible and use their numbers and mobility as a sudden strike raiding force. This is especially good if you hav ehold of an conjuration bonus site. Equipping them with a weapon is a waste, they already have a perfectly good area attack (unless facing abyssians). So well, my version:

Raiding Hashmal

Hashmal (21 gems) (E10/N6 bless)
Lucky Pendant (5 astral)
Bracers of Protection x1 (5E)

[Blessing, Blessing, Holy Avenger, Hold, Hold, Attack Archers]*

*Place at the very back of the battlefield.
