Why are vikings with horns?

[Kshahdoo]

Yeah, I understand it's just a cartoonish game, but anyway vikings never used those stupid helmets with those stupid horns.

Those giant men with the horns aren't Human.

And if you are talking about human soldiers with them its a fantasy game, not something off the history channel.

Its not only carnoonish, its a fantasy game with a nordic look and these guys with their horns are a fantasy race.

So no need to discuss historical facts. ;)

[kale, like the plant]

In the kickstarter description, actually, they specifically mentioned that they wouldn't be using horned viking helmets, because it was silly and unrealistic.

You will see that only the giants, Varl, have horns. And those are not helmets, they just actually have horns.

[netnazgul]

Those horns are so awesome that it's horns that have Varls under them, not the other way around

[Roku]

You're going to be mad about fantasy game not being realistic? Really?

[Velba]

your trolling has been

[Uriel]

Vikings actually used horned helmets for ceremonial uses but never in battle.

This game has giants in it? And what are these Dredge? I'm like 99% sure vikings never fought alongside giants. I want a refund!!

[Flickerdart]

Varl would probably be insulted if you called them giants. And then smash you up.

[GreenDread]

Only if you can prove that vikings never fought alongside giants and never will :P

There was also some concept art of centaurs...

[Flickerdart]

Oh man, the viking pony centaurs! I almost forgot about those.
