Correct, the Einherjar were those who died in battle and will fight on the side of the gods at the time of Ragnarok. Just like the Space Marines, Einherjars were the very best at fighting, alone or in an army. I'm in love with the Norse mythology and I can find many similarities between 40k and the Norse mythology which makes things a billion times more awesome and exciting for me. -Hail thee Fallen, Hail thee Einherjar!-
Which is obviously a reason why the Space Wolves may appeal to you, since they have their fair share of being norse-ish.
The sheer brutality of the 40k universe can only be related to the Norse mythology and you are right, the similarities between the two, led me to the Space Wolves.
