Vikings didn’t have horns on their helmets but I bet if you showed them a single modern Viking depiction they’d all start doing it like gangsters imitating The Godfather
They’d probably think Heilung is the coolest shit ever, despite not looking like anything they’d have ever experienced.
I dunno, Norupo is like 65% just folk wisdom from the Vedas
But yeah the costumes and music would be pretty otherworldly to them
Also: Vikings were pretty dedicated warrior culture, and horns on helmets are only a gift to the enemy who wants to control you in combat. Same with long braids that they are often depicted with so no, they wouldn’t wear horns in combat
AFTER, maybe. Vikings were very vain and I can imagine them having a separate ‘party helmet’ where horns would become a display contest
Perhaps they would use the party helmet when raping and pillaging a monastery and a srs bzns helmet against stronger targets
Party helmets. Now that’s an entertaining idea.
have you heard the FBI tapes of mobsters talking about the sopranos? “is that supposed to be us?” “yeah you moron, that was the meat shop right over on the corner.”
Horns on helmets are a big no-no for practical reasons though
but they look sick
Makes a headbutt really mean something!
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
Reminds me of Norsemen https://youtube.com/watch?v=cd-J5n7wk7E
