Thoughts?

Space Wolves being Swedish... Aren't the Swedes descended from the vikinh equivalent of hippies? AKA the Russ? I could see Denmark, Norway, maybe even Finland, but Sweden?

I also don't think the Blood Angels would be Swiss, the defensive nature of Sweden seems at odds with the assault tactics of the BAs, maybe they share Romania with the Night Lords?
