Vikings!

Nice horde! I like how you did the vikings' helmets - low ranked vikings have no horns in their helmets, but veterans do have.
You just need some mythical beasts. Or if this is a historical force, war machines.

Yeah, the horns on viking helmets aren't historically accurate, so I took them off, except for the helmets that came from the chess set because the horns are glued on and I didn't really feel like taking them off. That's how I came up with the idea to give horned helmets to the elite vikings, like the vikings have to earn their horns or something. AS far as mythical beasts go, I've got three dragons and the sea serpent that I can use, and I've also got two catapults that don't specifically belong to any army (I just give them to whatever army is attacking during a siege battle).

These are pretty sweet... Can't wait to see them in a battle.

Ohh... It would be kool to see a horde of vikings attack a squad of Assyrians...

Uhh.. how did you come up with that RoC? (and Apollyon)

In my opinion Vikings would definitely own. We're talking about A HORDE of vikings against A SQUAD of Assyrians.

But Vikings have manly beards.

If the squad had a flamethrower or two then it'd be a bad day for the horde.

Yeah, somehow I don't think melee centered troops with metal armor would mix very well with a flamethrower.

Well since Alex hasn't shown us a large modern army yet, and his proximity to Natalya, I was assuming that this would be the default group to go up against the Assyrians. And since she has guns, battle suits, tanks, planes, SHIPs, & and MC, you would have to nerf her to just a squad to even it out.

Ohhh.... how about the vikings trying to scale Natalya's Death wall, with a skeleton crew guarding it! I'd like to see that....

Yes, because the G.R.2011 caused some strange time ruptures in the ABS.

Haven't seen many Vikings; nicely done!

You know, I think that can be arranged.
