Hi all, just thought I'd show you some renders we here at Paradox South did for the new units for the TOG Norse Unit Pack DLC!
Included below is also a render of the councillors that are in the TOG-expansion itself! And some faces fround in the Norse Portraits DLC.
Hope you like them, we had a lot of fun creating these guys!

As you know, you can get this stuff here:

Might be some inspiration here from Norse Mythology! Also, that's a "Völva"! :D

They all look very nice, and the portrait DLC is pretty good too. I'd have liked more variety in facial features, but the quality is good at least. No regrets in purchasing here.

Yep the portraits are good quality (altought certain combinations of facial hair and chins seem a bit unsynchronized, but other than that very nice). I also love the music and councilors

I like it all throughout. But when a Norse character wears a helmet, I can't escape the impression that there's no nose under it (it seems to be that pressed into the face). >< Am I the only one?

I've never been much interesting in aestetic part of games, but I must say, that those vikings look so nice that it'll be the first sprite pack I'll buy :blush:

Excellent work. While I think the eyebrows has too little variation, the eye sockets never really change, I find these portraits sporting exceptional quality overall. *bow*

Yeah, that's my main gripe with them too, it can also be very hard to determine the eye color because the eyes are so small. I do kind of like how many of the characters are ugly/plain-looking in a realistic sort of way, though I wish a few more pretty ones were available. I suppose the original portraits do set a pretty high standard, this is somewhat of a different style but looks good just the same.

I like it all throughout. But when a Norse character wears a helmet, I can't escape the impression that there's no nose under it (it seems to be that pressed into the face). >< Am I the only one?

I actually hadn't noticed that, but now that you mention it, it IS pressed pretty close to the face. It doesn't look impossible, but it's gotta hurt. The design is correct, but should be a small distance out from the eyes to allow for the nose. Maybe it was necessary this way to fit all face possibilities...? Still looks cool though.
