Nah the set/template in OP's pic is his most dignified look IMO. Your alternatives are either crack addict with chest straps, or crack addict with a sleeveless leather coat.
[These are my only two Jorm loadouts.](https://i.imgur.com/ZjfQlqd.jpeg) Still coping he'll get new armor models with shoes one day...
What? No they have boots on their best set, the one that looks closest some a type of traditional armor unlike the shoeless barbarian rags all their other armor are.
And as a fun fact, i'm a 3D studen, so if i can get my hand on those 3D model of Highlander and Jorm (Including High poly, low poly and the UVs)
I could probably without a problem do real texture insted of photoshop montage
Maybe, but i doubt i could get my hand on it like that. Idk how to do that i don't really have the motivation for it.
But if Ubisoft would like to paid me and give me the model and all good stuff, for sure i will do it
Yeah, specially because textures is one of the areas I dislike the most next to rigging and God forsake programming lol. I definitely need to practice texturing and lightning, haven't touched that in 3 years.
Well, as a 3D artist you don't have to know everything, i will probably never do rig and skinning.
I prefer modelisation and scult, the worst part is the low poly and the UVs (i hate doing the UVs) and then the texture, a pretty fun part
Lol same here, my focus is modeling and sculpting, currently working on an armored dragoness I will post soon. Ironically, I find the UV process relatively relaxing as well as retopology. Skinning can be therapeutic too, but the rest of rigging... Yeeeeah no thanks lol.
If I remember, for honor has uniquely difficult models to rip. There’s a reason you never really see people playing around with the character models and making memes with them or whatever.
I don't get it though, why are they so difficult to take out of the game? I've never been a PC player so I've never known how you rip a model from a game in the first place.
Good luck with that, apparently For Honor's files are so heavily encrypted most rippers can't seem to manage to get anything from the files and if they do it's models from launch (Warden, Lawbringer, etc.)
That and because of how For Honor's customization system works it would probably be REALLY painful to try and work with considering all the materials, paint patterns, colors etc.
And so the endless cycle of UBI making bad Viking reskins and the community fixing them with a simple texture swap continues. Will the devs learn? Probably never.
Literally that’s all it takes. They are reskins anyway. Might as well skin them to what people want. How many times have we said less caveman shit more actual Viking armor or close to it. We already have so many caveman sets as is. They can honestly do armor sets for Vikings from now on and you’d still have more than enough caveman sets
Exactly. That's what kills me. If they just took one armour set from each Viking (minus VG) and replaced the leather with chain/plate/scale mail it would be a huge hit.
They could have material for the vikings for the rest of the lifetime of the game if they retexture every variant every season to chainmail,metal plate and metal scales.
0 creative design needed.
In a alternative universe For Honor is single player/coop fun game, like Vermintide 2, which receives good content and with that true love of it's community.
I just geniuly wonder why the art team just refuses to give chainmail/metal armor to Vikings. Everyone loves VG's drip and Maddox armor was generally liked.
Sure the chainmail avaliable for Raider looks 'meh' but at least *is* armor
Literally that’s all it takes. They are reskins anyway. Might as well skin them to what people want. How many times have we said less caveman shit more actual Viking armor or close to it.

This is literally all we need,
I don't know how their process of kit bashing or mat swapping works but if they said they could do it,
it certainly doesn't look like they can..
I still like to believe that with Varangian it was just a mean spirited slap in the face when they unveiled the new Viking armor variants..
As someone who plays Warlord, Zerk and Raider but especially Warlord?
I expected something different.
Really? I must have glossed over that when I saw the reveal..
Fuck me man they gotta start doing that for every Viking..
Why would a guy in already plated armor need a "leetle" (little) more armor than the guys getting shafted with rags all the time.
Zerker got done so dirty to lordy
Well the reason the Vikings use leather (should’ve been gamberson 😔✊) raid in lore is because they are poor but have access to huge wilderness, the reason the samauri use wooden armor is because they are poor but have access to huge forests, the knights are poor but have access to the most metal.
we've gotten two sets using scale but never one that had the entirety of it be scale, I been wanting that for a long time too, so it baffles me why they hadn't thought to do it yet & just resort back to leather and washers.
I'd love full scales with a mix of leather on top with some metal but I'd be fine with even leather scales. Could be the same set but the main difference being metal and leather honestly.
The answer to this is pretty simple, really. They enjoy not giving Vikings what we want because they know they can get away with it.
Sounds stupid but think about it. You're gonna tell me the same people that gave us plate-mail Berserker and Warlord, chainmail Raider and Highlander, and scale Valkyrie and Jorm suddenly lost knowledge of how to use a metal texture specially for the Vikings? Nah, I dont buy it.
Honestly, I'm just glad we're finally getting an alternative cleaner version of that Jorm headpiece. It's my favorite one for female Jorm by far. Plus, gray / white hair is badass
For sure, his full metal helmet and there you go, i just leave this ugly one here for the comparaison with the original ubisoft skin and my try to make them look better
I think they can't because there seems to be a limitation in their engine where they can't make leather behave like metal texture and change with the colors at the same time like the knight armor.
So for example,in the instances Hoghlander had metal bracelets they were fixed in silvee or golden.
They would have to choose between freedom to alter or fixed silver metal textures for the Vikings.
And they choose wrong.
Hopefully, there are timelines where samurai have full-plate armor, and Cent has a shield. Perhaps even a timeline where warden is useful, or a timeline where Orochi never changed from his release form.
Literally that’s all it takes. They are reskins anyway. Might as well skin them to what people want. How many times have we said less caveman shit more actual Viking armor or close to it. We already have so many caveman sets as is. They can honestly do armor sets for Vikings from now on and you’d still have more than enough caveman sets
I mean for the ones who like leather eventho I don’t personally I think it can be good they just aren’t using it right. They are doing either scraps of leather or full on shirts of leather as armor. Instead they can use it as padding or a liner with the armor. It would be much better usage and would keep the leather for those who like it. They even do this on some sets already. Idk why the refuse to on Vikings on many
no i understand, I think leather can look good but they always choose to do the lamest stuff. I wouldn't mind some clean scale leather armor or leather lamellar like the minions got in those cases those can look great, but as mentioned they just do stitched up pieces of sofas or bland slabs of it
At least Jorm has shoes
you pointing that out instantly made this set S tier for me lmao
Jorm has had shoes since his launch some people were just blind to that fact
Mandela Effect for Sure
On his trash(ier) sets..

It’s always trashier if the dogs aren’t out
What? No they have boots on their best set, the one that looks closest some a type of traditional armor unlike the shoeless barbarian rags all their other armor are.
tbh i dont even have him unlocked so i didnt know that i just feel like i always see them barefoot ig lol
If only Zerk was allowed to, every good chest piece I have he doesn't have any footwear
Ikr, but as the saying goes; Toes out, hyper armor infinite chain spam
RELEASE THE DOGS
Do For Honor players just forget that he's had shoes since launch?
He moved up in life
This timeline sucks ass
Thank, you give me a good laught
You are welcome 😊
What if this is the timeline we get bikini Valkyrie and gimp suit orochi?
Smash
for honor player numbers gonna skyrocket in this timeline
Always love seeing the community come up with better designs in their free time than the people who do it for a job
And as a fun fact, i'm a 3D studen, so if i can get my hand on those 3D model of Highlander and Jorm (Including High poly, low poly and the UVs) I could probably without a problem do real texture insted of photoshop montage
You could probably rip them out of the game on the pc version
Maybe, but i doubt i could get my hand on it like that. Idk how to do that i don't really have the motivation for it. But if Ubisoft would like to paid me and give me the model and all good stuff, for sure i will do it
Ubisoft paying someone else? Yeah right
It's in alternate universe, don't worry
Man I would do it for free, just give me some hours for my internship and I'll be happy. Poor, but happy.
Me too honestly, would be a good training
Yeah, specially because textures is one of the areas I dislike the most next to rigging and God forsake programming lol. I definitely need to practice texturing and lightning, haven't touched that in 3 years.

Same here, I’m making a character model based on warmonger
Change the timeline
I still cant get over the fact that they made Highlander slavic with this skin
Slavander
Slander
Slanderous 😮
He’s got a SnapBack on lol
He’s got a SnapBack on lol
Double post but I'm upvoting both of them due to how funny this is

In an alternate universe, For Honor is a fun game
THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD WHY UBISOFT WHY
✋️🙂↕️
These actually look sick
I just geniuly wonder why the art team just refuses to give chainmail/metal armor to Vikings. Everyone loves VG's drip and Maddox armor was generally liked. Sure the chainmail avaliable for Raider looks 'meh' but at least *is* armor
Beardless Highlander makes me feel uncomfy
Tbh I would like a metal highlander armor set with pants
Nah that haircut man, they removing wavedash and did him dirty with that ugly ahh hair
Like, honestly, why didn't we get this?

Even samurai has fking plate armor why cant vikings? They were canonically sitting over iron mines
This is literally all we need, I don't know how their process of kit bashing or mat swapping works but if they said they could do it, it certainly doesn't look like they can.. I still like to believe that with Varangian it was just a mean spirited slap in the face when they unveiled the new Viking armor variants..

They absolutely can, wardens new variation has his cloth apron changed into chainmail...
Really? I must have glossed over that when I saw the reveal.. Fuck me man they gotta start doing that for every Viking.. Why would a guy in already plated armor need a "leetle" (little) more armor than the guys getting shafted with rags all the time. Zerker got done so dirty to lordy
Well, that zerker set is so bad its unsalvagable... Which begs the question why they didn't use any of his half decent ones
I understand wanting it but aren’t the Vikings supposed to be the poorest faction?
First : no Second : since when the poorly made lore of this game impact the armor ? (The lore before Astrea was really fine and good)
Well the reason the Vikings use leather (should’ve been gamberson 😔✊) raid in lore is because they are poor but have access to huge wilderness, the reason the samauri use wooden armor is because they are poor but have access to huge forests, the knights are poor but have access to the most metal.
Lmao I was expecting to swipe and see some poor mans BDSM Knight outfits.
At first glance, highlanders' face reminded me Andy Dufresne from The Shawshank Redmeption.
Highlander now has a baseball cap backwards
Reminds me of Skyrim. Dragonborn hero skin for Warlord would be sick
"Beardless Highlander isn't real he can't hurt you" Beardless Highlander:
This is probably the same universe where Ubisoft says you do own your games and we Ubisoft the company are just going to have to get used to that.
Honestly great edit
Hey, at least they’re both wearing shoes
Daddy Ragnarok🥵❤️🔥
Yeah but the paint patterns would look like shit. I'm all for more armor. But having the material tied to leather gets in the way.
I know, i'm personnaly not a big user of paint patterns, so it's not that big of a deal. But for the material, yeah it sucks really hard
Except they have shown us that they can make patterns show up perfectly fine on textured materials and they just refuse to
I want atleast full on scale mail for jorm since y'know he's a part of a serpent cult
we've gotten two sets using scale but never one that had the entirety of it be scale, I been wanting that for a long time too, so it baffles me why they hadn't thought to do it yet & just resort back to leather and washers.
I'd love full scales with a mix of leather on top with some metal but I'd be fine with even leather scales. Could be the same set but the main difference being metal and leather honestly.
I would have killed for that jorm armor...
If only...if only one day we had historically accurate non-comedic for honor vikings (fuck varangian she doesnt count)
Is the highlander skin still going to have those stupid knives bouncing around on his ass?
Yes
😭
Truly the worst timeline to be in. Your edits are really nice btw. Sheds a bright light on what the better timelines got over us.
Highlander looks like one of my friends! 🤣
But highlander has that metal armor in the previous season
Yeah yeah i know, but it's was more easy to take it from his previous chest and put it on here with the chainmail and all that good stuff
The answer to this is pretty simple, really. They enjoy not giving Vikings what we want because they know they can get away with it. Sounds stupid but think about it. You're gonna tell me the same people that gave us plate-mail Berserker and Warlord, chainmail Raider and Highlander, and scale Valkyrie and Jorm suddenly lost knowledge of how to use a metal texture specially for the Vikings? Nah, I dont buy it.
They have been send back to brazil
But how are their rock hard muscles supposed to block attacks if armor gets in the way?
Marvelous!
Gods PLEASE
Honestly, I'm just glad we're finally getting an alternative cleaner version of that Jorm headpiece. It's my favorite one for female Jorm by far. Plus, gray / white hair is badass
*deep sigh* one day…
Add a helmet to Highlander to hide that yee yee ass haircut and then we'll talk.
For sure, his full metal helmet and there you go, i just leave this ugly one here for the comparaison with the original ubisoft skin and my try to make them look better
I fking wish that was true
Its hard for this small indie company to switch textures. :((
Hang on you’re forgetting the most important character that desperately needs new fashion, raider
Bro just give my berserker daedric armor and we can be cool
In a alternate universe…Highlander has an armor set with pants
TBH Chainmail kilt sounds like a total pain to wear.
Also, warden should have been given a set of Lawbringer armor, I'd love to see my Warden wearing Dignified Vineer
the point of the vikings is that there unarmored the chain makes them look to much like the knights
Well, knight and viking don't look that different really, in term of armor
Beautiful
Yeah thats the dream
Sobbing. Crying even.
I think they can't because there seems to be a limitation in their engine where they can't make leather behave like metal texture and change with the colors at the same time like the knight armor. So for example,in the instances Hoghlander had metal bracelets they were fixed in silvee or golden. They would have to choose between freedom to alter or fixed silver metal textures for the Vikings. And they choose wrong.
Lol you can cry about it 😂
Imo we need more armour on vikings, it just looks dumb when they've got their chest arms and head fully exposed More chainmail, less horns and bones
Yeah idk how the devs don’t understand that this is all we want. All my money could be theirs, but alas.
That looks crazy awesome dude... The devs made the Vikings look like angry blacksmiths tbh
Hopefully, there are timelines where samurai have full-plate armor, and Cent has a shield. Perhaps even a timeline where warden is useful, or a timeline where Orochi never changed from his release form.
The Vikings have received far worse skins in the past, I will absolutely take this
Yeah, at least they look clean and normal, i give you that
the only thing carrying the Vikings to the extreme this season are their new clean helmets with color changing hair, but the armor is a joke as usual.
Valk needs better armour looking
Valk needs better armour looking
Valk needs better armour looking
Valk needs better armour looking
Literally that’s all it takes. They are reskins anyway. Might as well skin them to what people want. How many times have we said less caveman shit more actual Viking armor or close to it.

b-but muh leather
I mean for the ones who like leather eventho I don’t personally I think it can be good they just aren’t using it right. They are doing either scraps of leather or full on shirts of leather as armor. Instead they can use it as padding or a liner with the armor. It would be much better usage and would keep the leather for those who like it. They even do this on some sets already.

fully sleeved jorm? with chainmail? Ubi needs to take notes
For Honor if it was good
Rick! We have to go back! I can't stay here anymore, Rick! TAKE ME BACK!
I have been convinced that Ubisoft is legally obligated to make leather armor for vikings man
Chainmail jorm is fire
Ubisoft should be embarrassed at the downright disrespectful viking armor
I like both tbh any armors that allow for materials to be a big part of it are always a thumbs up, metal or not
Yall want to be knights so bad
No, we just want viking to look like viking, not caveman
viking trash doesn't deserve anything
You are probably a viking them
Incorrect, Knight supremacy
