Soon I hope to upload my Norse army-list and background, history, tactics,
painting and model tips etc. Here is the first half of the Regiments section
of the army-list:
Come back soon for special
rules, bestiary and more units and stuff.
REGIMENTS
Choose what type of army you would like to
have, a Raider or a Fyrd army. The Norse army is divided into seven parts,
the Fyrd, professional fighters of the Norse Jarls and their levies, Raiders,
norsemen who seek adventure, riches and glory and set off to plunder new
lands and raid vilages, Outlanders, solitary individuals who band together
in times of trouble to oust a common foe or occasionally answer the summons
of the region’s Jarls, Bezerkers, formidable warriors who serve in their
Lords’ army or form groups of wandering mercenaries, offering their services
to anyone with gold, War Machines, rarely used but sometimes invaluable
to the Norse lords in sieges and in defence of their fortresses, Characters,
the leaders and greatest warriors of a war-like race and terrifying shamen
and mysterious rune-priests and finally the Allies of the Norse, doughty
dwarfs, haughty elves and the some-time human allies of the Old World.
