Re: Low-Tech Armour Loadouts.
Yes. Some loadouts like these would be a great thing to have in sourcebooks like the upcoming GURPS Crusades.

Assume the fur of D&D style dire bears or the like, which if treated like proper leather would be Heavy Leather instead of Medium Fur. ** Modest in design. This is a simple cap over the shoulder, albeit a heavily constructed one, not the architectural wonders you get in World of Warcraft. For the amazingly out-of-control plate pauldrons in Warcraft, go nuts with styling and design options, and make it out of the heaviest plate you can talk your GM into. Then enchant it until it's radioactive. † Evil Barbarian version replaces Fine Mail with a Spiked Light Plate codpiece.

Re: Low-Tech Armour Loadouts.
Man, four sig figs after the decimal place is probably a bit much. Call it $3,326.56 and 42.54 lbs. Or heck, $3,325 and 42.5 lbs.

Actually, GURPS does care. Even Basic Set has the 0.25-lb dagger, 2.1-lb pistol, 0.05-lb sling bullets, etc.

It is ahistorical for Vikings, yes, but we are not the only culture in the world.

Mr Male Fantasy Barbarian isn't a viking, though. He comes from the nebulous world of Fantasy Barbarians, and this particular one is clad in (some) bronze armor, so bronze age decorations on his helmet fit in. I was aiming at All Low Tech Rules All The Time because the theme for the thread seemed to be Low Tech Loadouts specifically ;) That's also why he's wearing cloth foot armor instead of "Boots" from the Basic Set.
