i have a strange question , i'm making a viking marine army ( space wolf rules ) , but i want to do something special with the bases , so i go with an urban base and some snow flok , and i want to write "With Odin on our side" on the base in runes ,
is there someone who can translate that or give me a site to translate that

thx

As a Swede I will help you help yourself:

What you seek is the "futhark" - the viking alphabet

I found this link that was in english/swedish:
http://www.canit.se/~griffon/diverse/runes/futhark/

I suggest you use the danish futhark since it is the "normal" one apparently:

There is a complete one available also:

If you want to be "true" you might want to use the swedish translation of what you want to say:

"Med Oden på vår sida" <-- with Odin on our side (1:1 translation)


Hope this helps you.

Apparently, there are multiple Runic Scripts for Nordic, different eras and that.

I dunno. My mate who takes something of an interest in such things informed of this.
