Viggo:
My tips and (personal) setup:
Get the book "Light, Science & Magic" and "Sketching Light"
Go through the "Lightning 101" over at strobist.com
My setup:
2x 580 ex II
Radio controlled by Phottix Odin
CP-E3 batterypacks for ekstra power and faster recycle.
Homemade bracket to lay the two flashes on top of a lightstand. (attached to umbrella mount, standard)
1 x 80cm octa umbrella box
1 x 60x90 cm umbrella softbox
A whole bunch of Ball Bungee's in different lenghts for mounting.
5 in 1 reflector with reflector stand.
and practice practice practice.

I would suggest that before you buy any accessories, you buy Neil van Niekerk's book on on camera lighting. Or at least poke around on his tangents blog. You don't have to buy anything to get great flash shots.

Good book is Speedliters by Syl Arena - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Speedliters-Handbook-Learning-Craft-Speedlites/dp/032171105X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334415241&sr=8-1
The equipment you need depends entirely on the shooting you will do.
