Just out if curiosity, how should one go about recruiting Guardians in the Saxons campaign? I've just started the campaign, but I thought I might try to find out from the outset anyway.

And actually, while I'm at it, is there any way to enable the expansion units in skirmish mode?

Thanks in advance guys!
 
You'll get a quest eventually, where you have to fight armies and you'll get three variants of guardians (ghostly guardians, guardians and a summon guardian spell)
 
In my experience they are poor choices. Like that ogre unit you get in the main campaign they are just too vulnerable to being burst by archers. They are also unbelieveably slow for dudes with wings.

You can, of course, stick a hero with them, but you lose 33% of their fighting power by doing so...
