Best Cannon Meat (CM)
Best cannon meat
We got some candidates here :
Castle - hmm.. hard to answer here, i'd say its Pikemen. They are slow and tough indeed.
Rampart - well realy interesting here, we have 2 units here.
Dwarf is realy tough, but dies pretty well then attacked by 7th lvl units.
Dendroids are damn tough and cheap, and they do lots of damage.
Tower - Of course its gollems, cuz they are so damn tough. In slow terrain and with hero with g/speciality their speed can be 7, that makes them unbelievable mobile..
Inferno - Hard to decide here. Actualy Inf. has Pit Lords, so you dont cry much , then you lose your imps or gogs. As more serious Cannon Meat (CM) i prefer demons.
Necros - Of course Zombies rules. Heroe with zombie speciality in dirt terrain make those killing machines move by 6 hexes per turn. As dvarves, zombies die easily by high lvl troops, but this is what you seeking for - to make enemy troops busy with ****.
Dungeon does not has any cannot meat. Every unit is expensive.
Stronghold - by lack of defence, they has some problems with tough units after some battles. So you will see your Ogre mage importancy here.
Fortress - Of course its Lizard Worriors. If you have skilled Tazar, even enemy lvl 5-7 troops will have some problems do destroy stack. So if you have tactics, be brave to move your LW in almos middle of battlefield.

Reminds me of a cool Zombie thread that was here a long time ago (it was called "zombies vs. hydra" AFAIR)  "Killing machines" -- Zombies are da bomb, lol
By the way I doubt that the zomb special is the best choice as a main hero for Necro 
Huh, and Woock is here agian, proving his custom status

Well, you must admit that with that +1 speed they are a bit less useless.

I think griffins can also become cannon meat. You've got a huge number of griffins that several losses won't really matter. Besides, griffins are really hard to deal with, especially in such high numbers where they can outnumber zombies

Did I say that they aren't? I just want to say that you won't often get that +1 speed bonus, unless you're weird enough to choose Straker as your main

still u got to sacrify someone.
now who would it be ?
i don't really trust those pesky troggs,but they come in handy sometimes to soack up the retal but soon they become obsolite and then ffw with my grunts (minotaur kings ROCKS!!!) still it's not a good idea to put them straight into the cannon fodder coz the're ur main striking force.don't forget to bless 'em ; that 12-20 damage is a bit ... same to the HH(1-4)

Trogs the main striking force? Doubt it. Maybe only in the beginning. At the end - blackies and minos will do the most of the work So I guess trogs can be the cannon fodder for dungeon.

I think you can also use medusae or scorpicores to eat up retaliation; there's always the chance that there's no retaliation at all. Of course, that's a risk most aren't willing to take...

Well, medusas are for shooting and you normally don't want for them to get into melee...

Why not? Those shots don't often last till the end of the battle, they have no melee penalty and the stoning doesn't work on ranged attacks.

For Fortress, I would rather go for the Flies. Except their dispell and weaknes ability, they are quite useless...
The same goes for Necro. When my zombies go boom, I use mostly my wraiths to soak up damage.
Conflux = magma elementals
Stronghold = ogre magi, goblins
tower = golems, gargoiles
castle = griffins
the rest, i agree with the above posts.
