I made this a long time ago.in my viking period:) 2005 I think it was. I remember i was trying very hard to be historically correct, not to draw horns on their helmets and for them to have plated or scaled armor. That’s just fiction that started in the German opera. Just think about it, it’s incredibly unpractical to fight with big horns on your helmet. how the samurai did it I don’t know.
