Some really cool stuff coming there and I'm specially excited to see Kilts coming to game and the kit so far looks fantastic that's really special and I'm sure they will be lots of fun to run around in.

I wonder if the Knight helmet will come with full armor

[Darkon]

I need a bagpipe..... and a cutlass..... but the bagpipe first!!

[smokey57]

Huh. Maybe if more puppets start wearing the kilts, they'll not have so much chafing and irritation from all those old, rotten, stanky clothes they've been wearing, and maybe they can just chill for a change and kick back and have a beer or two with us around the campfire. Good times.

No man-spreading tho, beaches!

[Gwei]

Bagpipes.....I see a new trend in hunting.

But... why Scottish things? Why not a Viking helmet? Why not native american stuff? Why not Zulu stuff? Why not Cossack stuff? Why not Samurai? WHY Scottish?

Why not ? :)

Well... as a fact, I do actually know a Scotsman in the game, who is happy about this :) Orw man, now I have to be witness to a scummish version of "Braveheart" and Scottish national pride the next time I'll meet him. Jeeez. But... even this Scotsman succumbs to the sheer fact that Vikings were... much more... awesome back then, now we are at the medieval era or theme. So, a viking heltmet, you know... with horns... should be on the list in future [!]

[Darkon]

Viking helmets with horns were not that common as people think xD
We need a bagpipe so our Scottish mates can fulfill their pride.....come on, we have a banjo, why not a bagpipe?

I know... but... for the level of abstraction ;-) Nah man... the ability to craft a longboat, dude :o

Excerpts:

"Yes, the pugnacious Scandinavians probably sported headgear when they marched into battle, but there’s no reason to believe it was festooned with horns.

despite years of searching, archaeologists have yet to uncover a Viking-era helmet embellished with horns.

The popular image of the strapping Viking in a horned helmet dates back to the 1800s, when Scandinavian artists like Sweden’s Gustav Malmström included the headgear in their portrayals of the raiders. When Wagner staged his “Der Ring des Nibelungen” opera cycle in the 1870s, costume designer Carl Emil Doepler created horned helmets for the Viking characters, and an enduring stereotype was born."

In other words, horned viking helmets are all bull****. And when you think about it for a moment, it doesn't make any sense in combat, anyway. What purpose would horns on your helmet serve, other than the rather dubious one of supposedly impressing your opponent? The horns would just provide a big, handy handle for an opponent to grab onto during melee, with which to either yank your helmet off or pull you around like a cur dog to more easily kill you. And if a sword or axe blow landed on top of one of your silly horns, it would do the same thing, with the potential to break your neck as well. No wonder real warriors never did something that stupid.

Yes, smokey57 - that's all fine and all. But when I, as a Scandinavian, go to for instance a football match, I want to wear my viking helmet with horns, be swept into my national flag and carry a beer in my hand! Don't be that annoying nerd in history class, who always ruins the awesomeness! XD

I am NOT deluded about the mythical helmets! XD It was for the level of abstraction that I mentioned those! :P And also because I figured it could be crafted from a mixture of scrap metal AND animal bones!

[Darkon]

They are too horny!!
