Simple Swordsmen or Guardsmen can be great tanks if having Iron Fist talent to reduce their leadership by 20%. I also had lots of tanking with Dwarves. As someone mentioned Griffins are great too.
Anyway, any unit whose HP is higher then (or equal to) its leadership and has decent defense rating makes good tank. And if it has physical resistance of some level it's even better. Those units are also best to use phantom on.
P.S.
Warrior armes, in practice, need more tanks then other heroes, since that best way to minimize loses for hero who doesn't relly on damaging spells or ressurection to keep enemy attack power down.
