That sums it up quite nicely. The only thing I would add is that according to their beliefs you were supposed to die with weapon in hand. (I think that is too literal, but it could very well be the truth.) I figure as long as they die physically fighting, then they're in.
Since we don't know if Ragarok occurred yet in the Dresden Files ( it happened in Marvel like three times....). One could assume no, since Odin is alive...or one could assume that is what has caused his children to forget whom/what they are.
Define honor.
The Vikings had a code of honor- and a pretty serious one- just one we wouldn't necessarily immediately grasp. More of a dedication/bravery/braggery(was actually a virtue for them) thing. A serious look at their gods will show that- Tyr was their god's king before Odin- only lost the position because he lost his hand... which he sacrificed to bind Fenris (which he didn't need to sacrifice if he'd been willing to renege on a bet).
As for being anti-external authority... that's at least a little shaky... they had a lot of respect for their kings, as long as their kings had respect for them. The Vikings would've hated modern culture, because the leaders of today (which the vikings would've seen as anyone with wealth) weren't taking care of their warriors or their people... so yeah- anti-current-external-authority, but not anarchists- not even vaguely.
Plus I doubt the Valkyrie would care much about political agenda or personal life... they're recruiters for the final battle, not for the next big revolution. The only thing they'd care about is making sure their recruits are willing to fight in it- whatever the reason. Viking-style honor would be perfect, but not necessary... at minimum, sufficient dedication to any cause that could line up....
Apology to Moderator staff. If the below rant crosses any lines I'll gladly remove it from the post; it certainly doesn't pertain much to the thread at large.

The written word, whilst my favorite medium for self expression is inherently flawed. It is hard to convey things other than fact (emotion, context, sarcasm). I tend to be busy enough that when posting on things I don't deem extremely important I tend to type fast and supply a few common typos. Speech has the advantage of an easy back space (repeating a statement) and spelling errors are generally impossible. Long story short, I apologize [please note sarcasm] for a hasty post, with concise meaning in mind. I also apologize for not nitpicking and cramming my "expertise" on more topics down folks throats. This is afterall the internet and a forum. Now {insert genuine feelings here} I do apologize for the snark in this post and rant, I just get tired o people talking down to me because I don't feel much like extrapolating on a given topic all day long.
Honorable was me dumbing down or simplifying what took a half wall of text to say. My bad. In general I don't feel the need to extrapolate on my "expertise" on topics. Honor was a poor word anyhow...99% of the planet either doesn't know what the original dictionary definition of the word nor would anyone's personal honor match.
In my opinion, most people ( you know non experts on pagan cultures of old or especially vikings ) would assume literally stabbing someone in the back or killing them in their sleep (generally preventing that warrior [the one who died in his sleep] from going to Valhalla) for a woman or trinket would be classified under unhonorable behavior. There are plenty of theives, liars, murderers, and rapists in Valhalla as we speak. I think these tidbits of information may be important while selecting people for that list.
So sorry I wasn't clear.
