Rarr, looking for tips on my Varangur list. Using my collection of dark age historical miniatures, plus monsters and heroes from Germanic mythology.

Varanglo-Saxons

Skald, Lute of Insatiable Darkness (Loge the Deceiver)
Thralls Legion, Banner of the Griffin (Einherjar Ceorls)
Bloodsworn Regiment, Two-handed Weapons (Einherjar Thegns)
Bloodsworn Regiment, Two-handed Weapons (Einherjar Thegns)

Magnilde of the Fallen (Thunor the Warrior)
The Fallen Horde, Potion of Caterpillar (Aesir)
Tundra Wolves Troop (Woden's Wolves)

Magus, Bane Chant, Horse, Inspiring Talisman (Woden the Reaper)
Horse Raiders Regiment (The Wild Hunt)
Horse Raiders Troop

Magus Conclave, Elite (Norns)
Cavern Dweller (Skrýmir)
Jabberwock (Fenrir)

Seems pretty sweet to me, loads of variety - also named units! If there's an issue, maybe it's that it doesn't have a dedicated hammer? As in no mounted sons regiment to truly tear some faces off. You've got some competent beaters and speed aplenty to be sure, plus double bane chant to give some oomph where needed, so I could be a believer.

Extra props on the horse raiders regiment, that's neat. If also my target for becoming mounted sons, depending on the minis I suppose

Will there be any pictures?

You're right, I always play toward the horde end of the horde/elite spectrum! I could downgrade the Bloodsworn to Warband I suppose...

I just need to paint the monsters and heroes!

What do people think about the two Regiments of Bloodsworn? Two-handed weapons or not?

Named units are very characterful. Nice!
