The Valhallan Ice Warriors come from the planet Valhalla. It has had a hard and checkered history but the warriors that come from there are hardened to cold climates.
They are also famed for their knowledge of Ork tactics due to the invasion of their homeworld. It was a desperate battle and so they are likely to stand their ground where others would run. Hence, Valhallans are deployed to battlefields with Orks.
When attacking, they combine massed artillery and waves of infantry assaults.
Each army has a preferred special and heavy weapon. The Valhallan Ice Warrior preferences are respectively:
