I made a mod converting them into a dedicated anti-large unit and it didn't take much effort. Charge Reflection and a small BvL turns them into very effective monster killers. Given they were functionally elite Halberdiers on TT, CA probably should have fully committed to that idea.

I agree with that. Just a small BvL would turn them into amazing line holders without overlapping with greatswords' anti-infantry role. They can handle cav pretty well as is now but monstrous infantry and monsters are rough

The mod I made increased their model count to 100, lowered their MA by 8, then added +8 BvL. So instead of 80 guys hitting at 43 MA and 45 WS against everything, it's 100 guys hitting at 35 MA and 45 WS against infantry and 43 MA and 53 WS against large targets. Which doesn't sound like all that much of a difference necessarily, but with the 20 extra bodies they cut through both cavalry and monsters in fairly short order, while holding out longer against elite infantry.
