Are there any War Hammer scenarios involving the Norsemen

[Jd Smith1]

The War Hammer fantasy setting has a great deal of background data on the Chaos-loving Norse, but are there any fantasy scenarios with the Norse in them? I can't seem to find any.

I am interested in incorporating the Norse into my Zweihander campaign.

Not as far as I’m aware.

The Witch’s Song has a reaver warband that resembles marauders but they’re not Norse per se. Or if they are it isn’t really relevant.

The anthology Ignorant Armies has two short stories featuring Norsicans which might form the basis for an adventure in the Old World.

Two things come to mind from WFB; Lustria Campaign book which has fluff and stuff on Norse explorers coming into contact with the Lizardmen. From wayyy back there's Kremlo the Slann; a member of the Skeggi tribe. It's in the early days of inception, but a great piece of gaming.

Are there any decent viking-based scenarios for other game systems?

The Northlands Saga by Frog God Games (I think for Swords and Wizardry) is pretty solid from a story perceptive, but I haven't run it.

There must be a GURPs viking book....do I have the GURPs viking book?

There is also GAZ7 The Northern Reaches . That will be available through DMsGuild.

Of course there is

"From the fury of the Norsemen, oh Lord, deliver us!" So prayed the Irish monks.

To the victims of a Viking raid, the Norsemen were bearded giants with bloody axes. But the Viking was much more – a skilled navigator, a brave explorer, a hard-working trader. A dreamer whose songs and stories live even today. And a Viking was a free man – a man to whom honor and reputation were more important than life itself.

Vikings is a complete guide to the Norse world, including maps, historical background, and details on society and religion. You can game any sort of Viking campaign, from fully realistic to magical and cinematic. Create a historical campaign, with sea battles, duels and bloody raids – or become a legendary berserker for mythic adventures with Thor and Odin!

and this Viking Adventure From Mazes and Minotaurs: Vikings & Valkyries

There is a PBTA game, Sagas of the Icelanders, which allows a pretty straightforward and fun Norse game. I've only played it once, admittedly, but as someone who has taught Norse lit, it creates some fun verisimilitude. That is to say, it's better at representing gender relations in Iceland ca. 1000 CE than abstract viking violence.

I will second the Northlands Saga from Frog Gods. Available in both Swords & Wizardry (OD&D) and Pathfinder 1e.

There was an Avalanche Press 3.0 d20 module called Doom of Odin which had their worst cover ever, but one of the better viking adventures I've seen with the best trap encounter I have ever come across (a riddle incorporating runes and runic meanings, options for tough guys to bull your way through, various skill options to maneuver through and avoid or minimize consequences, dispel magic or other spell options). Very D&D viking appropriate, not sure how great a match to the Chaos berserker tribes of WFRP though.
