There are Celtic axe-club units in EB2. Not sure if these will be previewed as they are AOR units and not really factional.
Slingers may have had a shield, but its been brought out by Oudy in EBH that the Celtic shields do not have straps to the arms, and are held by the hand. To sling you needs a had to whirl the slings, and another to pick up the stones. If they had shields, they may have laid them down on the ground until they had to melee. That, or they did not carry one at all. Reliefs of Germans slingers also show no shields as well.
