Just a quick one, I'm wondering if there's a specific way of saying "half-giant" in any of the Scandinavian/Nordic languages that would sound right as a second name, as my Mordheim roster is looking a bit dull atm with all the X'ssons and Y'sdottirs but I would like to stick with Norse-inspired naming conventions.

Halvjotunn?

That's a pretty good one right there, RoperPG. I think I'd go for Halvjotun, or Jotunblod (meaning blood of giants).

Halv blods kjempe works well enough

Ooh thanks guys, I think I'm going to actually struggle to pick between those they both feel fun to say depending on which first name I put with them(seriously, I think the main reason I enjoy viking mythology & Old World Chaos is the link to Nordic/Scandi languages, although I doubt I'll ever be able to pronounce the Swedish word for "situation" ).
