    The Nordic Warrior is a very stable midrange that can take a lot of power and still fade back at the end of the flight. Viking claims that this disc is "not overstable, but you can really feel the control on big hyzers and windy situations." This mid is comfortable for, and works well for both backhand and forehand throws.

    I am going to preface this review with a recap of my most important points made in the Storm plastic review. . .

    To this day, I'm yet to find a disc that has helped me work on my midrange game as much as the Warrior has. For whatever reason, it's just a part of my game that I have a very tough time with. Even with the BUZZZ and Roc, which are fantastic discs, I could never really get anything other than a drive off of the tee or a drive from the fairway to work out for me. Maybe it's psychological and I just parked one of my first throws with it so I'm convinced it's the perfect mid. Whatever. Really, throwing it, it would probably annoy most players. There isn't a lot of fade like a Roc, the shot shaping quality a BUZZZ provides is absent, and the lower glide to assist shot placement that generally both excel at is also not a factor with the disc. It just works for me. Even for the plastic the disc fades reliably, but not very quickly so that you could nail a hyzer approach. The glide is assisted by an enormously domey top that, as a fan of other Vikings in sports, reminds me of the Metrodome in Minneapolis. The difference being that the Warriors dome is somehow larger. I'm not playing. It stay aloft forever. Perhaps enough hard landings hopefully within tap in range of the basket or tree hits will eliminate this quality, but for now, this disc is going to be glide city, population Warrior. I also wanted to say that this disc is EXCEPTIONAL in the wind. Exceptional. It flies the same no matter what wind you are facing, within reason and pardoning for now the extremes. I really disagree with the other reviews, but would offer to them that the characteristics are maintained so long as you have a flat release. You can't play with the angles on this disc in the wind. So, they are right within reason. Keep a flat release and you'll more or less get the same thing out of it that you would ona seventy five and sunny day, with no breeze to speak of. But keep that release flat. You either get vanilla ice cream, or nothing, so to speak. It's an unconventional disc. For what it's worth, I'm sorry if I drove you away from it, but if you're looking for something very ???/5/0/2 control driver-y at a much lower speed, this is your disc. 

    So the disc in Warpaint plastic is more or less the same as the Armor plastic, and flies about identically. I love limited edition stamps; Chthulu III's, Black Friday releases and otherwise. This one is by far the best looking, however. The attention to detail is insane, and the artwork takes up the whole disc. The problem is that I've never thrown something so purposefully intricate, at least appearance wise. It's a great disc, but I'm partly reviewing a collector's item as much as I am a purpose built disc golf disc. I'm caught in two minds. As a collector's item, it is a show stopper, with a heartbeat and brilliant art. As a disc, it's a perfect midrange, even better than the Storm plastic I originally bought it in. In this plastic, I can see it as a competitor to the Roc in RPro, or a Buzz OS. But now, I'm afraid to throw it lest I scratch it up.

     

    PROS: So pretty you won't want to throw it.

    CONS: So pretty you won't want to throw it.
