I really like these blue knight customs, Panos.  With your custom creations, the shields no longer look particularly "Viking".  I agree with Gis that while the gold knight looks very good on his own, he doesn't really seem like he's a part of this group.

I like them a lot! I would try to put some color (maybe yellow and black to match the shields) in the light blue banner to cut a little the plain blue.
I love the leader! That helmet is beautiful!
Grangel is looking fot that golden helmet! He might try to copy you!  8-) 8-) 8-) ;D (just kidding)

Excellent work, Panos, proving (as others have already said) that simple customs can be the best.  I like the Viking style shield with knights and it is not necessarily wrong as there was a transition period when the Viking type shield was used by knights.

Well, it's really an inspired guess.  The Normans used Viking type shields on horseback so there must be an in-between period when this type and the shorter type of shield usually associated with knights was used.  In any case, your knights look perfectly all right with the Viking shield.
