I wanted to do something different with my Herald and opted for a more restrained viking look. To be honest I don't like most shoulders in the game, they feel clunky and exaggerated and I really enjoyed the "come at me" look of not wearing them.

Weapons:

Gallant Sword
Areate Targe
Gallant Hammer


Disclaimer: I'll be upfront that these shots were taken with sweetFX running in the background. I understand this is discouraged, but it took a lot of work to get it working and I'd rather I didn't have to go about it a second time. I apologize if this offends anyone, but if it's any consolation I'm only using a bit of higher contrast and some saturated colors. The screenies were cropped in GIMP.

A nice look. Always a fan of the more "muted" looks that favor originality and realism than the overly flashy ones.
