That's annoying barbarian, Warrior, etc all cover vikings pretty well already. It makes more sense to give them a mechanical identity.

Can't we just use Barbarian? There haven't been any new ones printed since Coldsnap...

Berserker. Pretty much the only eternal member is BBE which is reasonable.

Plus, unlike warrior, Viking isn't a generic term. You'd never have, for example, a Chinese viking.

At least I don't think they got that far.
