My brain says I know vikings didn't have horned helmets, but my heart says they look cool, so I choose to ignore it when it comes to fantasy. Call them ceremonial or something The fur on the jacket reads more 'aviator' to me, like a bomber jacket, especially with the helmet (take off the horns, it looks like one of those early pilot's helmets), which definitely fits the steampunk theme. I kinda like it, and I don't have a shoyru get so it's definitely going on the 'maybe' list And that's a neat fact about the samurai helmets! Honestly that's probably one of the only good reasons to have horns on your helmet, they've got to be pretty inconvenient for actual fighting, not to mention a grabbing hazard, lol

He had some awesome days last month apparently. Unfortunately I missed the big wins by becoming active again during a Trash Week. On the plus side, you've missed Trash Week! (Trash Week being a week of upsets where either 13:1's won in the positives or there were double upsets and so the safety bets didn't cover the possibility.)

it's a common misconception that the Vikings had horned helmets. That notion was popularized by Scandinavian artists in the 1800's and Wagner in his Opera .. but it is not entirely true In Japan, some Samurai armor incorporated a horned, plumed or crested helmet. These horns, used to identify military commanders on the battlefield, could be cast from metal, or made from genuine water buffalo horns. I didn't notice the fur trimmings ... either way it's a cool colour concept x
