Nordic Bronze Age Army List?

To the Great Powers, I prostrate myself and make humble plea....is there room in this panoply of hosts for a Nordic Bronze Age army list, covering say 1500/1700 BC to 500/700 BC. :D By my reading, the Hallstat/La Tene lists are more central/southern/western European and definitely iron age, the Urnf...

For those of you like me who are following Museum Miniatures' progress with their new Z-range miniatures, who are intrigued by the detail and posing, but unsure whether they're as blocky and beefy looking as in the CAD drawings that are displayed in the Catalog.
