Yes, maybe unicorns have more versatile abilities, but Nightmares have higher speed, 8 versus 7, and insane initiative - 16 (just like Fury, only bigger). Unicorns also have decent initiative, but only 12...
Besides, Nightmares have a higher growth rate, 7 versus 6, which makes them comparable to Battle Unicorns in terms of HP and damage...

Yes, Nightmares are good, by the way, but why isn't anyone discussing White Unicorns? They have an ability that duplicates any light spell blessing cast on them, imagine an enemy resurrecting someone, or a Knight with his blessings, and the unicorn duplicates them on itself, it's a delight, not just a unit.
