Can Son of Osiris or Nildhogg be the main force of an attack if they have support? It seems that Son of Osiris does damage and needs protection whereas Nildhogg is more of a protective shield and other units actually do the damage.
What types of units do you guys generally group with them? Do you use fast infantry as a shield for Son of Osiris? As far as Nildhogg is concerned, the only use I've really found for him so far is a tank or "meat shield".
Can either of those GP units the tide of a game?

Yes. The only problem with Nidhogg is that he needs to be directly over his target, and is fairly vulnerable to arrow fire. So if your enemy has lots of fortresses, towers, archers or throwing axemen, your Nidhogg is going to fall. But if your enemy has no archers, etc, then Nidhogg can be extremely destructive. Son of Osirus has a very powerful chain attack and a nice range. So whats good is that he can stay behind the lines and pretty much kill everything. However, he also is vulnerable to archers.

And we all know how rare it is to find a player with no archers.

I dont know much bout Son of a Silly man hehe but Nidhogg is best used in addition with jarls or raidning cal. JArls if u can afford them and Huskarls b/c they take out his worst nightmare archers and get ur Nidhogg to take out buildings thats what he is best used for
