They really are masterpieces in terms of early armor designs. Thanks for sharing <3

If anyone’s obsessed over my use of the word ‘traditional’, they are welcome to go through the work of the more productive people on here and find me some truly traditional gear.

I think the Vrykul make for some great fantasy Vikings. I would look to them for inspiration.

It was questing around Utgarde Keep that I was inspired to make this thread.

Nailed it again haha!

While we dwarves are short, we more than make up for it in stoutness. :smiley: Also makes sense for a viking to be a dwarf in WoW because the characters from the original game, Lost Vikings, are in WoW and they are dwarves. :smiley:

Oh, and people giving Thassarius an overly hard time with regards to the horned helmet,. Blizzard’s Lost Vikings have horns. :stuck_out_tongue:

it’s kind of a dinosaurs had feathers sort of deal, we have to go around telling people that vikings didn’t have horns because popular culture shows them doing so, such as in comics and video games.

the reality is that in battle having something on your head easy for your enemy to grab on to and twist or pull with leverage would result in a lot of broken necks and slit throats, which is why they didn’t wear horns on their helmets. nevermind the weight.

Aye lad! Us dwarves gotta stick together. I also support any dwarf interested in mogging. :smiley:

Oh, I totally get ya! :smiley: It’s not practical in a realistic sorta way. Kinda like the trope of a super sharp sword. Most were rather blunt, actually.

One thing I chuckle at in game are Tauren with large rings in their nose cause I know what they are used for. lol

No, it really doesn’t. No need to get snippy just because people corrected you.

73

That is
 amazing.

You sir have changed my life.

ME being snippy? Alrighty then


Nothing would have prompted you to ‘correct’ me when we were doing so well


75

Just watching Thassarius and Cladis argue is kinda funny

Hardly arguing - I despire forum arguments.

I’m just stating to the both of you that we were doing fine without your ‘correction’.

Why make it?

If you’re so keen on enforcing it, where are these traditional mog items you said you’d grab me?

Edit: I love the idea you recommended, just show me some WoW items for them. That is all!

I apologize my lord, for I was busy getting groceries.

What do you prefer? Traditional Viking or Stereotypical Viking?

78

Seems we won’t come to terms then.

That’s alright.

Stereotypical it is then, if that makes you happy. Now, if you don’t mind, some people are actually contributing.

Anyone have any nice ideas of weapons? I think the Northrend axes and maces are a nice fit, but, any I may have missed?

79

But my lord, I only kid! I only needed to know what style you wanted! Now, here are a couple helmets.

Please don’t address me that way, thank you.

Those suggestions are nice though.

Which expose beards? - That’s a must

81

I apologize, Chieftan.

I believe all of them do. Except the Cataclysmic Gladiator’s Plate Helm.
