yeah, those. they look a lot like the Milnaht (whatever you spell it) and the Belt they were looks weird: completly nude, but they do have a belt...(i know its for there swords)

its kind of a waste actually, to give a sword to a naked man...

i should think a naked man would need it most...

[jerby]

maby an armored soldier with a greater lifespan has a better use for it.
naked man would want to keep other away, for they woudl chop his balls of. i'd go with a spear if i were to fight naked... this is pointless....

[Big_John]

i bet ranika would have some input on naked maniacs..

[Aymar de Bois Mauri]

The belt was to hold the Celtic longsword's scabbard, guys...

If we're going to have gaesatae, wouldn't it help to give them some woad and tattoos to make them more accurate (unless EB has concluded that they didn't actually do that) and draw attention away from *ahem* their second weapon?

[Aymar de Bois Mauri]

Celts did not use tatoos. And just to ease your mind about accuracy...

[bodidley]

Yep, I've seen that picture before (I own the damn book )

But I've read that the gaesatae often painted themselves with woad before battle, and the Romans often asserted that as well (not that I trust their tall tales )

Perhaps I'm being a prude, but this is a case where I would rather not observe the anatomy of my animated army

Meh, I'll get over it.

That, my friend, is exactly the entire idea!

Not by 270BC. 400BC yes, but not much after that.

Gallic warrior # 1: "True that. I was just dipping by the lake and :poof: it's gone! Now I'm all worked up!!
Gallic warrior # 2: "Helloooooo!? Anybody picked up my friend's precious pajamas? This is not funny!

Am I the only one who laughed me ass off at that?

I was under the impression that Celts used copper to achieve the blue ink that were used for tattoos...

Sorry. I meant Gauls, not Celts. Britons still used paintings (woad) by 270BC.
