I'm going to release this long-time postponed one - there will be more than one version (ie. with various shields, with and without cloaks, with different weapons /like axes and swords/ and with big banners), then perhaps some slight changes in posing etc. Anyway help needed... Thing is which/what tittle/name would be most appropriate for such a set? -Norman Warrior? -Viking Warrior (hmm.. he is kinda Viking lookalike but then rather still fantasy/rpg one)? -Northern/Iceland Warrior? - BTW this one is NOT "classic" berserk - just a regular northern fierce warrior... (spoiler: there will be special "Berserkers" set somewhere in the future:) //just to be honest - "me like" these plain/flat colours (figurines not accessories at preview) - so no needless textures, shadows etc. bulldoody (c'mon...bulldoody_not_bulldoody;) but well... final version should be classy with bells and whistles;) ..

Think Viking works fine. It's the name folks would recognise.
Looks great too!

"Norse Warrior" may be better, as "Norseman" is a less specific term - it just means "man from the north" - and encompasses groups of settlers like those in Normandy, the British Isles, Iceland, Greenland, southern Italy, etc., as well as the sea-borne raiders. "Viking" has an uncertain etymology, but one which seems to have been primarily related, or attached, to the sea-borne raiders/pirates. Basic summaries for both are on Wikipedia: Norsemen and Vikings.

I like Norse Warrior or Norseman - as these both are quite "universal" ones, then I can add some more specific Viking-style hero somewhere in the future...
