All Nobles, Experienced Warriors and Warriors can form Shieldwall: sec. 7.8.6

Reiver Warbands are BP:3 Move: 9"

Mammoths: I don't recall Mammoths in any of the Conan stories I have read, but they are suggested in John O'Connor's lists. For those uncomfortable with the idea of Mammoth riders, replace Mammoths with one extra unit of Reivers and one extra unit of Warriors.

The Aesir of Asgard are described as having blond hair and favouring winged helmets.

I have based the Asgard army on the Saxons/Later Saxons.

Aesir banners would depict animal symbols.

Asgard was allied with Cimmeria and the Western Free Companies.
