Tactical brilliance.

1. Mongol Empire
2. British Empire
3. Roman Empire

Not sure how to list them, but they are pretty much the top 3 I think.

I'm no Viking expert.

But they just lost to the lions so that = Not GOAT

Usually I think people are assholes for jokes like that, but that was pretty damn funny. I chuckle in your direction.

GOAT Warrior Genetics.

Spartans bro. And it isn't close.

Vikings were pussies who attacked the weak instead of other warriors.

Spartans bro. And it isn't close.

Nice Hollywood movie. Let me hit you with some facts.

1. The Spartans were notorious for being homosexuals
2. The 300 fought an army of slaves
3. They were classically Mediterranean sized. Compared to the hulking Germanic nords, pipsqueaks. Roman historians would often revel in the stature and supremacy of the Germanic.
4. They were only really known for their tactical strategies as a unit. Really they stole this from earlier Greeks.
5. They wore speedos and used BRONZE AGE weapons. Nothing compared to the iron supremacy of the nords.
6. The Vikings used all the strategies of the Spartans. These were not unique formations, like the Phalanx. They may have been some of the first to utilize it, but everyone since then used it... Including the Vikings.
7. Vikings used hallucinogens and psycho-tropics, ale, and special herbs, to numb pain and go into a frenzied rage. These were known as Beserkers.
8. Both The Vikings and The Spartans had a distinct warrior culture. But the Viking one was much more extreme. Dying in battle was seen as the utmost honor, and thus was rewarded with afterlife in Valhalla (Heaven)... Whereas a life without glorious battle and death, was seen as weak, pathetic and a one way trip to Helheim (Self explanatory).
9. The Spartans were defenders, whereas the Vikings were raiders and conquerors. Vikings had the experience of actual variable combat scenarios, while The Spartans stayed in their barracks, training. They never encountered the various scenarios that the Vikings did.

Vikings as warriors are superior.

Vikings are cans compared to the chaos marines.

 

[clutchCAT420]

They were subdued by christianity. They also came into history at a time during the Dark Ages when there was no competition. Also over population and constant war fare over farmland pushed them out to seek new lands.

 

[KnightTemplar]

Vikings were cool as fuck. But GOAT warriors? I think my old mob would mount a strong counter-argument.

 

[LEGS MAHONEY]

Compared to the hulking Germanic nords, pipsqueaks. Roman historians would often revel in the stature and supremacy of the Germanic.

And then they proceeded to conquer most of the barbarians north of them so, so much for that huh.
