You know, I've never understood such arguments in relation to dwarves, because if any race in which self-reliance is traditionally the norm it's the dwarves. Of course you could call introducing differences being original, but it's not really, I mean you're still going with a nordic look, which is just about as cliché an identity as being loners.

I really do not like the animal creatures.
There are thousands of mythological creatures that are much more interesting than bears, wolves and lepards. >.>

I also think there are two many animals,especially the fact,that the wolf and the leopard are both not that different and in the same tier group,the same goes for those dwarves,you should turn one of them into a core unit.
I also think,that those undead(or at least undead looking) creatures don't really fit with the faction.
I would suggest to use a giant as champion creature,because giants are also from norse mythology.
If a normal giant isn't spectacular enough for you,you could use the fire giants or the jötunn(ice giants) from norse mythology.
I also think,that rocs would fit with this faction,as rocs are also sometimes assimilated with the arctic and it would give the faction a flying unit.

Maybe the Jotun upgrade can be the Ettin?
Similar names, similar concepts, (more heads?).
I also think the Swizz Barbegazi is a fairly underappreciated creature.

Move Dwaves to Core, make Bear Riders and add Valkyries and Trolls is my suggestion.
I will make a Norse town myself in the near future.
