I don't quite understand. I thought I'd already answered that. Or did your second reply imply that I had answered that? My English can be a bit poor sometimes. They wouldn't be 'integrated' into another unit of men, at least, not dispersed through them. Celts usually arranged their men into 'blocks' of weapon types (skirmishers in a block, spearmen in a block, etc.). These men, as small in number as they are, probably would be a single line at a forefront, to absorb the blow of heavier infantry, or to make a first move toward heavier stuff. They will be sufficiently small in number (probably no more than 20 men at most, maybe less, 16 perhaps).

However, if they were using a smaller, easier to attain hammer, the unit would likely be of normal size, but the need for lighter infantry is already filled in that regional area, and the model is being shared with some other stuff anyway, so we figured, even if they were tiny in number, the model is already there, and the unit space is available, so it's an interesting regional.
