I love these, do you think you could have a "light" armor version. I have some mail from another mod that is light armor only, so I need a light helm to match the look and not mix up the armor types.
@chuus Correction: no archaeological evidence has ever been found showing horns on the helmets, which doesn't mean it didn't happen. In fact, to my knowledge only a single intact helmet has ever been found from that time and place. It's not so outlandish as you think when you consider that helms were adorned with all sorts of crazy things, at least in other parts of Europe and at other times.
All that said, I'm a firm believer that the Swedes/Danes/Norse never wore horns on their helms, pre-1000 AD or any other time for that matter. But with such little evidence to go on, speaking in absolutes is dangerous regardless of what one believes.
A final note: the Elder Scrolls Nords are no more "your people" than Imperials are Romans, Redguards are Africans or Bretons are British. It's a fantasy. Horns on helms don't test my suspension of disbelief nearly as mush as full sets of armor made of glass (and categorized as LIGHT no less!), or shields that look like they weigh a hundred pounds, or bandits walking around in a blizzard with naked torsos and a thin pelt around their waists!
I've updated it with a piece of leather covering the ear as a fix. Also the version in the vendal style (with the nasal guards) is now available http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=15521
I think the work you have done is great but would it be possible (for either HammerwingStudios or someone to get permission) to extend the neck guard to the point where the ears are clipped thereby making this a superb mod, as it seems a tad unfinished at the moment?
