    Very nice, though presonally I would like some variation in the hemet shapes.
    Something like this for example: http://www.jelldragon.com/images/jk_..._helmet_sn.jpg

    There will be changes in the helmets. I have pictured those "pointy" helmets for the farankish, and norman soldiers... I still got alot of viking units to do, so there can be plenty of styles.. but just keap those syggestions comming, it's easy to get stuck in on style..

    Not sure if you've done any work on it so far, but as I'm sure you know the horses of the vikings were pretty much the same as those you would see on Iceland today.
    On the other hand if the viking cavalary was recruitable only outside of Scandinavia, the size would make sense and would it simulate the fact that vikings didn't take horses along with them all too often.

    The Vikings usually used two types of horses. One for riding, and farming called Dølahest in Norwegian. This was a big strong horse suited for hard work in rough terrain. Norse pople allso thought of a big strong horse as a good ridinghorse, but these horses wasn't at all suitet for the speed and agility needed in combat.

    They allso used a very short breed of the Islandic horse. This horse was strong, but very short, and was suited for seatravel. Other horses wold often loose their balance and break legs in rough seas.

    (Gangerolf of Normandy probably rode one of these short horses.)
