Viking?That group seems a little out of place, since the others are a bit more used to the lighter, faster swords, while Vikings are known to smash things. With big axes. And shields. And horned helmets.

You do know that horned helmets had nothing to do with vikings, right? Swords were at least as common as axes, if not more so. and the axes weren't all that large. The bigger an axe, the heavier it is. The heavier it is, the less it can be swung in a battle. The only use for the typical upward-turned horn is to ensure that the attacker gets his or her weapon aimed straight at the head rather than away from it. Not a wise goal.
