    Look quite nice in my opinion. Nice helmet (bascinet?) and of course shield.

    I can't see it... But whateever it looks like, the Gauls should have one. And the name? Is it really that hard to make a semi logical name?
    edit: Ah, I see it now... at least it doesn't have another Bull helmet.

    Definitely a sweet-looking cavalry unit. I can't comment on historical accuracy, but it sure looks cool and effective.

    These guys are considered light cavalry?? More like medium to heavy cavalry with that chain mail and large shield.

    it's historically accurate
    but it needs an actual long shield
    and a sinew cap.

    Yes it needs a longer shield, according to the name.
