Ok, so, Quite simply, I need someone to translate this into Icelandic, as closely as possible while remaining Grammatically correct and understandable in Icelandic:

"Listen closely Brothers, for my life's breath is all but spent. There shall come a time far from now when our Legion itself is dying, even as I am now dying, and our foes shall gather to destroy us. Then my children, I shall listen for your call in whatever realm of death holds me, and come I shall, no matter what the laws of life and death forbid. At the end I will be there. For the final battle. For the Wolftime."

Many thanks and Huggles in advance!

Hlustaðu vel bræður, fyrir anda líf mitt allt eren varið. Þar skal koma langta i tima frá nú þegar Legion okkar sjálft er að deyja, jafnvel eins og ég er núna að deyja, og óvinir okkar ber saman að eyðileggja okkur. Þá börnin mín, ég skal hlusta á kalla þína í hvaða ríki dauðans hefur mig, koma og ég skal, hvaða samo lögum um líf og dauða banna. Í lok ég mun þar vera í. Fyrir síðasta bardaga. Fyrir Wolftime.

Google Translate doesn't count

IIRC I know enough about Icelandic that they do not use Loanwords, they instead make new words based off whatever words are already available.

Hlýðið vel á bræður, Því bráðlega mun ég draga mitt síðasta andartak. Sá tími mun í fjarlaegri framtíð þegar sjálfur Kapítuli okkar er deyandi, svo sem ég nú er deyandi, og féndur vorir munu safnast til að tortíma okkur. Þá börnin mín, mun ég hlýða kalli ykkar hvar sem dauðin hefur valið mér stað, og ég mun koma, án tillits til þess sem lögmál lífs og dauða banna. Við endalokin verð ég til staðar. Fyrir lokaorustuna. Fyrir Úlfitímann.

You sir have earned my gratitude. Tell your father and Brother I am open to rules questions 24/7 for them

My father wishes you to know you can get this text in old germanic or anglosaxon or viking/scandinavian or medieval swedish runes, but you'll have to wait for snailmail, or we arrange something with photographing the text.

But, sorry I forgot to mention earlier, which one of the runic alphabets would you prefer?

Edited because I can't spell. I am going to bed. Have patience Gwar!

Please don't continue to spread the misconception that all Aussies speak like Paul Hogan and Steve Irwin.

I agree! Bloody convicts and your destruction of the Queens English! Almost as bad as those damn Colonials in the Americas!

Actually yes, he has agreed to name himself that once he gets a dakka account.

I don't suppose your dad has a Nordic translation for "Death to Christ" or "Death to Saxons" does he? A friend of mine years ago gave it to me and I can say it, but forgot how to write it. The end parts I know it's the front end. When you say them they sound like "Danthor til Christa" or "Danthor til Saxa". It's the Danthor part I know is spelt wrong.

That would probably be 'dauður', but I amnot sure. I'll ask dad when he wakes up.

Okay Gwar, once again all of the credit goes to dad and bro. Here is a pic of the text written in runes. You might note that some words are shorter in this text, because in rune writing you don't spell out double consonants.
