200 Pritanoi Ambactoi
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Bri_Ambactoi)
Pritanoi Ambactoi
(British Ambactoi)

These swordsmen are the other half of the chariot team, along with the Arioi foot nobles, and best serve them in a supporting role. They back up the swordsmen's attack with javelins and can form a shield wall for their masters to retreat behind. They profit from long hours of regular weapons-drill and are disciplined, sturdy troops, who are not easily discomfited.

300 Botroas
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Bri_Botroas)
Botroas
(Britannic Medium Infantry)

The Botroas (Boat-rows) are the basic medium infantry of southern Britain and Transalpine Gaul. They are well-trained, with a fair amount of experience, and good quality swords, with javelins to soften an enemy before a charge. Like nearly all Celtic warriors, they are loyal to a tribal head; a leader who is himself bound to a more prestigious noble and, by extension, also the king. These men form the core of the southern armies, and like most Celtic shock infantry, the brunt of their attack is in the charge.

200 Calawre
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Bri_Calawre)
Calawre
(Champions)

All the Celtic cultures follow hero worshipping traditions, and the Britons are no different. Among the southern tribes especially, there are warriors of exceedingly great skill, who use Gallic equipment. The Calawre (Call-a-oo-re) are not typically considered to be recognized champions, but they are wealthy and skilled. They have good armour and high-quality Gallic swords. They are called champions more on account of their appearance than their abilities on the battlefield, where in reality they serve as an all-purpose heavy infantry. They are adept and professional warriors, but their cost - in terms of equipment and training - limits their numbers.

200 Kluddargos
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Bri_Kluddargos)
Kluddargos
(Sword Masters)

Kluddargos (Klud-arr-gus) are British champions who use very specialized weapons. Their two-handed longswords have especially heavy blades and require years of practice to master. Able to afford such weapons, they can also afford high-quality armour, including very fine-quality chain shirts. Like other heroes and champions, they march to battle to inspire their fellow tribesmen, but their weapons also give them a tactical purpose: to annihilate enemy armour. Their swords are truly fierce and destructive: their great swings split helmets, smash shields, and collapse cuirasses into the body. The heads they collect will surely be from grotesquely mangled bodies, obliterated by the force of their blows, and the wielders of such weapons will often take satisfaction in finding their foes' bodies left in such a state.

300 Kluddobro
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Bri_Kluddobro)
Kluddobro
(Sword Bearers)

Kluddobro (Klith-ab-ree) are British shortswordsmen. The shortsword is a common weapon, essentially a very long knife or dagger, and used by hunters, and carried by many as a form of self-defense. Warriors using shortswords are not typically very well trained, if at all. However, they are readily available, cheap, and have a good charge. They are extremely vulnerable at range.

200 Rycalawre
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Bri_Rycalawre)
Rycalawre
(Kingly Champions)

The British tribes' best warriors are not so much trained, as they are proven. The Rycalawre are nearly fearless and even hungrier for glory than younger men. They have already felt the rewards of victory and have many heads to their credit. Years of warfare often leave their bodies scarred but their spirit as sturdy as tempered steel. They are wealthy, powerful men, but they were not necessarily born as such. When a young warrior begins to attract prestige for himself (often by having a mound of heads to his name) he also begins attracting favours and gifts from his chief. These favours, like armour, weapons, jewellery, and slaves, allow him to be outfitted in equipment superior to that of lesser men.

300 Teceitos
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Bri_Teceitos)
Teceitos
(Britannic Axemen)

The Teceitos are an often overlooked component of a Celtic army. Many Celtic warriors are buried with axes - particularly in Britain and Eastern Europe - despite the fact that axes are neither as prestigious nor as admired as swords and spears. The Teceitos wear leather or padded vests and bronze or iron helmets to help protect themselves. They are light enough to move swiftly over the battlefield, allowing them to flank heavy infantry, and strike them from the flanks or rear. Using axes as well as javelins, the Teceitos are especially useful for breaking up heavy infantry. They are also a great asset to chariots, being able to follow them into breaches in the enemy's line.

Pezoi Brettioi
(Bruttian Infantry)

The Bruttii come from the southern extremity of Italy. These Bruttian troops are dependable medium infantry. They carry two pila, which they throw before engaging in close combat with their swords. They are well armoured with a variety of bronze pectorales, typical of the Oscan warrior class. Their helmets show Greek and Italian influence, known as Italo-Attic. They fought for Pyrrhus during his invasion of Italy.

200 Keltohellenikoi Thorakitai

Keltohellenikoi Thorakitai
(Celto-Hellenic Infantry)

These shock infantry are Celto-Hellenic 'men-at-arms,' Celtic warriors of a mixed culture. While they are not of especially great station, they are capable warriors fighting in the Celtic manner, in a motley combination of Hellenic and Celtic gear and dress: long Celtic shields, a Greek helmet, a Celtic sword, and javelins. They soften up an opponent with their javelins and charge an enemy once they're weakened with the great force of Celtic warriors.

Milites Ilergetum
(Illergetan Soldiers)

These Iberians wear a helmet of typical Ilergetan design, with the characteristic neck guard, padded armour and large scutum adopted from the Gallic tribes across the Pyrenees. For weapons, they use javelins and a longsword, most likely imported from Gaul through the Greek colony of Emporion. Greek and Phoenician elements are also abundant in their culture, foreign motifs being common in their art. While not an elite contingent in the Ilergetan army, these troops are good quality. They are brave and relatively well-equipped, dependable line infantry.

The Silurae Birnai (Sel-oor-ay Bern-ay) are a tribe from the south of Cambria. Renowned for their ferocity, skill, and discipline, they offer up fine spearmen to their lord: braver than most others, and more sturdy and skilled. They are, for all intents and purposes, little more than local spearmen, but with greater training and skill. The Silures act as both anti-infantry and anti-cavalry soldiers, and can also be used to pepper an enemy at distance with javelins. They are disciplined and capable of standing in orderly lines, and use tight formations at times to absorb enemy charges.

Like the Solduros of the Gauls, in the East the Scordisci have the Cordinau Orca (Kor-dee-now Urk-ah; Battle Boars), the guardians of their chief, and fearsome, strong warriors. The Scordisci are a rather extroverted Celtic people; they are so cosmopolitan that their enemies think them Thracians or Illyrians.

Tribes from the Alps and some nearby territories have swordsmen of their own: the Kluddacorii (Klod-ah-kur-ee-eye; “Sword Band”). These men often wear little in battle, removing anything that might be a hindrance except trousers and shoes, and fight using a powerful charge after throwing their javelins in an attempt to overwhelm an enemy position or break a gap in an opposing line. Warriors from these tribes are high-spirited and very eager to fight given the chance, so they have decent morale, but their lack of armour is a detriment in a prolonged engagement, or if they are flanked.

Raumarici Slaganz Frijaz
(Scandinavian Club Infantry)

The Raumarici are a Germanic tribe from the area of Romerike near Oslo. Germanic warriors are typically able to make effective arms quickly from any readily available materials. By shaping heavy boughs of oak and inserting bone spikes, these clubs can be used to maim both armoured and unarmoured foes alike.

Suiones Herunautoz Frijaz
(Scandinavian Swordsmen)

The Suiones are a powerful tribe, distinguished not merely by their soldiers, but also - in possessing ships with prows on both ends - by their powerful fleets. Swords are not plentiful in Germanic lands because of their cost in iron, and so these fierce and valiant warriors carry their highly valued swords with pride.

Taurisci Securiferi
(Taurisci Axemen)

One of the last Ligurian tribes to survive the Boii and Gallic invasions and assimilation, the Taurisci survive in central Italy. Seen as barbarians by the Romans and most of the southern Italic civilisations, they are equipped with a scutum, javelins, and a deadly light axe, similar to the Illyrian and Venetian tribes. These axemen are renowned as assault infantry.

Teceitos
(Celtic Axemen)

The Teceitos are an often overlooked component of a Celtic army. Many Celtic warriors are buried with axes - particularly in Britain and Eastern Europe - despite the fact that axes are neither as prestigious nor as admired as swords and spears. The axe is a fine weapon, able to do great damage even through armour. Using axes as well as javelins, the Teceitos are especially useful for breaking up heavy infantry. They are also a great asset to chariots, being able to follow them into breaches in the enemy's' line.
