Will the character be male or female,
Will the char be based loosly on a Walt Simonson Thor pantheon model?
Meaning will he or she be an ancient character in a modern world or will they be "new" relative to our time?
How much of the Valkyrie bloodline and powers will your character have at their disposal? By which I mean how otherworldly awesome does the character need to be, the more human, the less amazing they need to be out of the box and the more fun you can have by having the character ruminate over his or her defeats.
If your character will be ancient, a battle axe or Mace (Hammer model looks so choice) would suit very well since Brutes cant have a sword.
BUT dont forget about dual blades, Valkyries had awesome battle prowess so DB would tap into that and the set has a certain grace that could show the more than mortal abilities and otherworldly power your character has.
If you are looking at the Valkyrie heritage coming to the fore in this character then you could have fun with secondaries, WP is one of the smoothest to play out of the box and it just keeps getting better, but if your concept allows for it, fire or electric could be fun.
Just for giggles remember that the Norse gods were almost as prolific at producing ******* offspring as the Greek gods were, so if you need to tweak for your secondary, there are lots of gods or even frost giants (who were godlike in their abilities) that can help you get the powersets you want and still be in concept.

Which version of Valk are you looking at? Angels of death? Simply supernatural warrior maidens (ala the Voluspa where they were like six horsewomen of the apocalypse but serving Odin)/ force of war death and destruction? Mere Servants of the gods (ala the grimnismal and parts of the prose edda where they are waitresses only and not fighters)? Pure mortals of divine descent who marry/are descended from royalty and act as bodyguards to their lord/husband?|

First off, what does Valkyrie mean to YOU, because it means many different things even to the old vikings.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
I'd say, any of the weapon sets and WP. You can turn off the auras of the toggles and when you hit 30, use the costume auras for any effect you want. You can even set them only show up to certain parts of your body and/or only turn on while in combat. And the APPs allow for a little more flavor in the form of extra powers. Have fun.

So far I have thought of Battle Axe or War Mace as the primary, and Electric Armor or MAYBE even Fiery Aura as the secondary.
Just fishing for ideas, with some advice from veterans.
*NOTE* really trying to come up with something that fits the concept, PLUS can succeed long enough to save up for IO's. In other words, needs to be effective "out the box".
