So I've been taking a look into the auxiliar AB and yeah... There's no way I'm not playing Vikings.

Book looks fun, even if I think that the big wolves are just too expensive in their starting price, and I love the Jotunn idea but I'd like its debuff to be area so I could play around a giant God freezing the table...

I just made a list, I'm open to suggestions, and corrections will be appreciated.

Yes, the giants give a lot of flexibility to the units, making the 24 man ones up to 30, and the 30 up to 36. And one join the big Huskarls one together with my bsb. And the general can ambush with 3 different units... But the main option is the 20 man Huskarls with TW.

Only thing I'm not sold is the chariots, and I'd like another raven banner in the big Huskarls unit. I will give it a go in UB to see how it goes.

@Grouchy Badger I'm not sure I follow... If you mean how I want to place them. Probably berserkers in 1 flank, the opposite to the one my general will arrive. Then put the giants where they fit better.

Will give this list a go for a few games during next weeks of 2.1

You are right. Might have to reconsider my magic setup. I was thinking of going for less magic investment anyways, and getting Rod of Battle now that is only 35 points or so.

Maybe only Shamanism master with Heirloom and RoB for, uhm... 445pts. Saving up 255pts, but losing 1 channel and the +2 to first spell.

Then go for a BSB on Behemoth and give harp to General to get both Commanding Pressence and Rally Around the Flag at 18...
