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

    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!

    Then perhaps we should spice things up with some ravishing Cimbri warrior women

    Our installation routine should provide an option for those of you who faint at the thought of swinging twigs & berries to have a loincloth.

    The Celts did paint themselves with woad before battles, but these were not tattoos. Different tribes used different amounts of woad. Our Celtic group would have to talk about the Gaesatae in particular.

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

    I am so glad you'll provide an option not to have that evil loincloth! Historical accuracy all the way man!

    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.
