Description
Speedpaint Massacre #8: 50 minutesGetting back on that kill streak.
Viking Samurai? Requested by my bro Zachary
Combined elements of the katana and viking sword to create a heavier pommeled sword with a triangular hilt and blade that is about half a foot shorter than a normal katana in return for being double edged and thicker. These are dual wielded and the counter weight of the pommel makes the blades extremely well-balanced and great for quick defensive strikes and parries. The thicker blade gives it an advantage over katanas by being able to cleave more, and advantage over claymores by being able to flex to increase the killing arc and increase in tensile strength.
The robe is a garment of Samurai lineage, the fur coat of Viking lineage. As both are of cold mountainous regions, it would make sense for their attire to fit together. The helmet is a cross between a Samurai's horned beetle helmet and a Viking's winged helmet.
The fighting style of Viking Samurai is an interesting one. Samurai and Vikings have both been known for the ability to go berserk, and as such, this warrior is the perfect combination of the two, wearing only clothes, armored gauntlets and a helmet for fighting without the excessive weight of full-body armor. The sword style is a cross between Northern European swordsmanship that utilizes the claymore in a series of power strikes, classical stances and parries, while melding it with eastern swordsmanship for the swift strikes, quick counters, and dual bladed combination of the swords.
