I found some nice artifacts and spell combination... and to play it differently than my first Paladin (mostly human troops and royal griffin), I switched to a single stack of Black Knight.

They are obscenely powerful... with proper artifact setups they are near invulnerable to all types of damage, and can hit/crit for just as much. Stoneskin + Hell Breath, Magic Spring, Helpnessless on tougher foes, Haste or Teleport to get them to the targets faster, Eviln to resurrect, the occasion offensive spells (Death Star, Ice Snake, Poison Skull, Flame Arrow and Fireball) to clean up.

I can't imagine how powerful they'd be if I'm not a Mage, but a Warrior with Power of Darkness 3...

Edit: Finished the game, beat all the bosses with a single stack of black knight without loss. Had to let the friendly knight stack to finish Bhaal because Eviln stops my turn... but a no loss victory is a good thing.

I'll give the game a little rest... then I'll try a demon army, or the girl power thing on higher difficulty levels...
