In that vein;

For C'tis check out
1 Lizard King - casting fanaticism
73 Light Infantry - yes the lizard LI! Orders to fire at closest.
2 Sacred Serpent - In seperate squad behind the LI square. Orders to attack closest. Do not add them to the infantry or they will fail to toss javelins.

Close enough to what I used in my Last C'tis test:

1 Commander + 1 Sacred Serpent as bodyguard - stay behind troops.
up to 24 (avg 15) Swamp Guards - forward, center, hold & attack closest.

1 Lizard King - rear corner, fanaticism.
up to 75 LI - forward (a few paces behind the HI), left flank, fire closest. When the LK gains his first star, split in 2 LI ~50-strong LI squads and put one on each flank.

When facing mass crossbows, leave the Swamp Guards in the rear, replace them with skeletons if available.

A similar tactic works well for Machaka. Actually, you don't have much choice considering all the 2 protection Javelin tossers you start with. ;-)
