cool, the first photos looks like Cry of the black birds' videoclip from ammon ammarth. In other words, looks so viking!

OK I'm stubborn so I had to look this up  ;D
It is true.... vikings did not wear horns in their helmets.

Horns were depicted for the first time in 1820 by Swedish paintor Gustav Malstrompor for the epic poem Friopjops saga hins Froekna (Frithiof's saga) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fri%C3%B0%C3%BEj%C3%B3fs_saga_hins_fr%C5%93kna
It was done that way to make them look like demoniac beings.  ;)

Anyway.... it is a stereotype and I like them better with horns  ;D

Yep, I learned vikings had no horns when Age Of Empires 2 was in development  :love:  Their vikings HAD horns, a marketing decision, not an historical one. It surprised me to know they didn't in fact.

But I also prefer them with horns, even if it's not accurate  :P
