Like my other Celtic topic http://z4.invisionfree.com/cotec/index.php?showtopic=3113

Inpisred by this idea http://z4.invisionfree.com/cotec/index.php...33;entry4928644

I am starting an army list based on Ancient Norse Mytotology which i have been playing using the Hordes of Chaos List.

What to you think a list like this should include?
my thoughts:

Frost Giant
Ice troll
Axes
round shields
Wolves
werewolves
seers



Any other ideas/suggestions?

Oh yes Berserkers I am currently using a unit of marauders with great weapons but would love to have them frenzy and hunters are what makes me want my own list since i can not get any in the hordes list

also throwing axes are on my wants list

Ok now i have been using the Hordes of chaos rules for these guys for a while and that is going fine but i think that to make it really Norse i need somethings not provided by that list.

Throwing axes --- I would like to put these into infantry units would be great to have a rule that allowed them to be thrown as they charge.

Need better magic lists--- have been using beast for the bears anger

Hunters ------- Need a unit with bows (thinking skirmish one per army)

Better magic items ------- everything is too chaosy (go figure)

Beserkers ------ I could just allow a unit of marauders to take mark of khorne i guess (would be nice if they caused fear)

Any other ideas?

why not stick with the chaos list and take DoW duelists with throwing knives. these would be perfect. and only 7pts a model!

ok, so throwing knives and axes are slightly different, but it's the best solution that remains legal, they'd take up a rare choice, but against friends you might be able to angle it so they're special. a friendly player should allow this, as you're hindering your own selection by choosing trolls over mino's and stuff, so they should be pretty understanding ^_^

Yup & there is Norse Berserkers that could be used as Viking Berserkers, it´s normal marauders that are frenzied.

Even though it´s fun to make your own armylists, I often find that they´re either overpowered (most of the time) or way too weak (when you try not to make it overpowering).

BTW you can access the Lore of beasts very easy by using Beastshamans (say they´re Norse Shamans & use your own models, just as long as the opponent knows what is what), beastherds are also a unit that can be used as something else along w. beastchariots & Bestigors (just use different models that counts as).

That is what i was doing the only problem is that a bray shaman can not join any of the mortal units making him quite exposed or too far from the combat to be of any use

Then use a beastherd, they´re one of the best units in the Chaos army anyway, you could just convert up a few & call them Marauder/Norse/Viking trackers.
