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 meant that since mighty thewed fantasy barbarians of that sort are ahistorical, you might as well give him horns that do something cool.

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.

I'd think that Fantasy Tech is more directly compatible with Low-Tech, isn't it?
