I don't have enough Vikings to do this yet (though I might just go buy some), but I would love to see a Vikings vs Dwarves Brikwar. Guns and explosives are allowed, and vehicles by no means have to be Tek-Level specific, although it will be hilarious because neither the Vikings nor the Dwarves will know how to properly operate them. The battlefield can be wherever, but the ruins of an old temple would be the best.

Hmm.... I have a bunch of Dwarves and Vikings, but only enough for a small battle or scenario... I might try it out, though. I'll base the dwarves off of Warhammer Fantasy, with muskets maybe...

I think it's hard to amass a Dwarf army because (correct me if I'm wrong) the only set so far with true dwarves was the Mine.

According to Age of Mythology, Vikings and Dwarves are on the same side...

I have plans for an Undead vs Viking battle, complete with a Viking longship and hall, a floating Necropolis, graveyard, and maybe even The Frozen Throne itself. Arthas vs Thor, anyone?

According to Norse Mythology, the Vikings are humans from Midgard (earth) whereas the Dwarves (Dvergar) live in caves in the mountains of Swartheim which I think is in Asgard (Heaven). The Dwarves are higher beings than the humans, and although they usually side themselves with the Gods, they are to the humans as Soviet Russia was to the U.S. in WWII.

Also, you only need beards and helmets, because in Norse Mythology, Dvergar were the same height as humans.

Unlike Norse Mythology, there will be tanks and rocket launchers and what not.

P.S. Thor would wreck Arthas, but it would be awesome to watch.

the ones that have beards are dwarves, the ones that just have painted beards or no beards are vikings.

I have like 7 short legs. But I might just use regular ones on beardy-dudes.

Sure, Piltogg, just make sure the Dwarves are kings and each has their own mountain.
