MODEL DESCRIPTION
These are the greatest of brewers in Nordgaard, and their recipes are in fact encoded magical formulas and ceremonies; a fact which elevates the Brewers of Odrorir from tradesmen to minor elemental mages.
The enchanted formulas bind elemental Earth power into the drafts, endowing each with enchanted effects which work upon the drinker.
The Brewer is therefore a support character for the warriors of the warband.
His Hardneck Mead makes the drinkers oblivious to pain, allowing them to fight on after receiving normally fatal wounds.
Strongarm Ale renders drinkers more violent but less cautious, so that they make fast and wild swings with their weapons, (providing +1 MEL and POW but -1 DEF).
Guarding Draft endows the drinker with the fortifying elemental power of the Earth element.
For greatest effect, use him to boost the highest-point-cost unit in the Warband and the Warlord.

MODEL DESCRIPTION
It is only a matter of time before the Asrae gods march once more to war as they have done numerous times in the past. To replenish the warriors of their Heavenly Hosts, the Asrae induct the souls of mighty mortal warriors who die in battle.
The Valkyries snatch these souls before they pass on to the planes of the dead, then carry them upon their steeds to the land of the gods - there to feast and fight until the next celestial conflict.
The energy given off in death by the spirits she gathers invigorates the Valkyrie with power which can then be used in prayers to heal or resurrect fallen warriors who she deems worthy of a second chance to prove themselves. In this way, unit troopers can be restored to your warband, which is particularly potent when resurrecting high-point-cost models.
In addition to this primary function, the Valkyrie is a cavalry model and consequently highly mobile. Her Ethereal ability provides the Valkyrie good protection in combination with her considerable armor.
The Valkyrie's enchanted attacks make her ideal for combating other ethereal and spectral models and the two-inch range of her spear together with decent fighting skills is a powerful combination.

 MODEL DESCRIPTION
In almost all of the mortal peoples, Ogres and Humans formed united cultures, bound together by symbiotic dependence, and today, the Skannyr Ogres are an integral part of Nordgaard society.
Myrgaerder Ogre Berserkers are prone to fits of uncontrolled fury and are a danger to civilized society.
The Chainslayers are a type of Myrgaerder Berserker who has trained in the use of chainblades - a vicious weapon with a long reach which can slash several foes in a single swing.
The chainblades are swung in a whirlwind around the Chainslayer, providing protection from missiles and making him a danger to all who come near.
The Chainslayer can also sling his chainblades to ensnare a particularly infuriating foe, and then drag him into closer range where he can be shredded.
This crazed warrior is ideal for use against the core units of the opponent, where his Thrash weapon ability allows an attack against all models in melee range.
