It's not armour, they are afraid of hair.

Seems like it. My conspiracy theory was that the harbingers were bald because Roman is bald
My friends had another theory: they all have cancer...

Anyway I hope they won't get the Shaman treatment, as in: different facepaint (and beards for the men) and mohawks.
Shaman really needs 'decent' headpieces. I just want her to have a full head of hair, is that too much too ask? Somehow a blonde ponytail with flowers painted on her face is okay, but a more 'normal' looking hairstyle is too much?!

Lowkey hoping for the reveal of new armor sets for the DLC heroes. But I'm not holding my breath over it.

Sorry to say that I am IMMENSELY disappointed with his look 😒

I do get wanting to have a full head of hair option. lol maybe it doesnt bother me because i have a mohawk undercut myself...my wife hates it.
But yes they need to offer at least a few full hair options.

Ehhh, not looking that great so far but I'm holding out hope that this is just a one off variant that Ubisoft really likes because it's Ubisoft.

I'm sure there'll be more head variations with longer hair. Hitokori is bald in the start but there is at least one head option that shows that she/he has hair tied up in a bun so maybe.

As for the armor, I'm not particularly worried about it, but I would like to see an extreme on one end or the other i.e. completely covered in bear fur and leather or just straight up shirtless (with the exception of arm bands cause you know the ornaments for this season's heroes are all on the shoulder.)

Cant wait to see all of the bugs on this hero.Classic….instead of fixing existing heros they threw another bone for distraction lol

What kind of armor would you give him/her? These guys didn’t really have a full plate setup. Chain mail was the game as far as metal goes. And it’ll be nice to have a fur / pelt armor with like a bearskin cape or something going for him.

And maybe this is the female variant?

I know everyone’s wet dream is to have him have a huge beard and look muscular but I mean it’s nice to have some variation. He may still have armor like that. Also the hammer isn’t oversized and in the silhouette of the season pass the hammer was actually reasonably sized; not quite needing Arnold body builder to lift it.

Not fullplate ... I am 100% aware that vikings didn't have that. Just arm plates, helmet, maybe leg plates and a lot of chainmail with lots of fur and leather around it. He himself pretty angry, beefy, big and muscular appearance.

What comes to the hammer. It is oversized A LOT. Such an hammer would weight 20+ kg. There would no practical way to use that in a real battle even with high percentage of body muscle. There were actual warhammers, but the hammer head was A LOT smaller. Just look in the internet.

Great, 6 Characters and only two slightly match the Faction.

Exactly. That's why my hypothesis was that the new hero was a Jötunn. A 2.5 meter tall Jötunn could wield a huge hammer with no problem. FH lore has never been logic though.

It's scary how close this was to my prediction/what I saw in my dream months ago (hence the funny fortune teller pic).
If it turns out they'll play exactly like in my dream than it's a hard pass from me (and I'd probably keep the psychic persona and profile pic )
