Galwyddel Emalla
The richer you were the better equipment you could afford, and with weapons this often meant the size of the weapon. In Strathclyde the richest men could afford the best Celtic or Gaelic weapons available, such as a two-handed version of the tua, more deadly and powerful than a single handed version.

Rherel Manau
The Isle of Man was often the target of raiders from Scandinavia, Ireland and Strathclyde. This caused the wealthy Manx to fund the defence of their land, by providing their retainers with training and good quality spears and chain mail. They make a disciplined, armoured and agile defence force.

Galwyddel Ymill
Gaelic weapons often found their way into the hands of Celts, especially in areas where Gaelic incursions were frequent. This was especially true in Galloway, Strathclyde and Cumbria, were the tua was a favoured weapon of war, being both cheap and effective.

Kledlwta
The men of Strathclyde favoured a longer version of the typical broadswords of the era, the "grey sword", much like a bastard sword or claymore of the Middle Ages. This would mean they could either fight with a shield or use it in a two-handed manner to increase their formidability in close combat, thus acting as fearsome shock infantry.

Galwyddel Cartreflu
The Celts and Brythons of Strathclyde were often influenced by the Gaels who often raided and settled their lands. Thus, the Strathclyders often carried light javelins, “darts”, into battle to throw at advancing foes, before closing in to fight in mêlée.
