I think we let the Vikings run all the Seaside resorts and stuff, kind of like Butlins Redcoats. It is strange they head directly for mainland England but make a wide berth detour around the North Sea coast of Scotland and through some pretty stormy regions before settling, although that's were most of the sea lochs are I suppose, yeah, that'll be why actually.

Viking way of acting:

Ale! Ale! Ale! Ale!
Ale! Ale! Ale! Ale!
Ale! Ale! Ale! Ale!

Pirate way of acting:

Rum! Rum! Rum! Rum!
Rum! Rum! Rum! Rum!
Rum! Rum! Rum! Rum!
Rum! Rum! Rum! Rum!

Ninja way of acting:

.................................
.................................
.................................
....*snick*.. Urgh!.......

You mean like that OneEye?

Yea, pretty much.

But also I think ninja's have the most strict code of conduct, but vikings and ninjas are the same on the honorable scale. Pirates are more reckless, ninjas are more thoughtful, and vikings are somewhere inbetween.

As for garb, pirates are more miss-matched, as they just take everything out of the booty they collect. Vikings like to be more organized and usually have some set items that they owned in the first place.

Didn't Vikings find NewFoundLand?

Yes they did, but I don't think they named it. And the pirates discovered a lot of unknown islands in the Caribbean. But what did the ninjas ever discover? Nothing!

They discovered/invented snorkelling!

They discovered various spring loaded booby traps and scorpion in the slipper.

Actually, The Vol are very similar to Space Marines, and both are very similar to Space Vikings, just on a larger scale.

<a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a> of Space Marine Chapters are nothing like Space Vikings. Like the Ultramarines, they aren't like Space Vikings at all. So yahhhhh, it just depends on the Chapter.

I admit that the WH4k Space marines were a big inspiration for the Vol, mostly in my choice of armor. However, I've tried to make them as true to the real vikings as possible (excluding some elements covered bythe rule of cool.)

I never did any 40K stuff except look at the figures. From what I've seen of Space Marines that way, they look about as close to Space Vikings you could get. Maybe the Chaos Space Marines minus the demons.

I mean, look at this Space Marine. He is SO a Space Viking.

Almost every chapter that has the words dark or black in it are similiar to Space Vikings. For example, that Space Marine(Black Templars)
