300 Corio Runo
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Bri_Ambushers)
Corio Runo
(Brythonic Hidden Warriors)

Unexpected warriors, with javelins and swords, are useful to any warlord.

300 Lorgowiri

Lorgowiri
(Caledonian Clubmen)

The disadvantage of fighting naked is that these men have no armour to protect them, and so must survive on skill alone. Their primitive maces and targe shields at least give them something to defend themselves with, but it is their ability to frighten the enemy with a good charge that give Caledonians the edge in battle.

200 Wenoi Kaledonakoi
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (bri_caledonian_heavy_inf)
Wenoi Kaledonakoi
(Caledonian Heavy Swordsmen)

These professional warriors live to fight, and their skill and strength far surpasses that of any levy unit. Armed with longswords and targes, these men make a worthy addition to any army, and if used well, can dominate the field. They are quite unruly however, and may not wait for guidance before leading the attack.

Kladiwoi
(Caledonian Swordsmen)

The sword is an expensive weapon, and few are rich enough to buy one, but often when a man captures a sword in battle, he will keep that sword and pass it down through the generations, as a symbol of safety.

200 Cwmyr

Cwmyr
(Caledonian Champions)

The Cwmyr (Koo-meer) are midlander champions who are not of noble blood. They carry swords - a rarity among midland soldiers - though these weapons are still rather short compared to those wielded by the southerners and the Gauls. They wear good quality leather armour that remains flexible and allows them to move freely and make use of their shields and swords. Their considerable skill at arms inspires their comrades in battle, and their bravery is noted.

300 Pictone Neitos
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Bri_Pictone_Neitos)
Pictone Neitos
(Pict Painted Swordsmen)

The Pictone Neitos (Pek-tone Nee-yet-os) are painted warriors from Caledonia. They use heavy shields and have a powerful charge as well as high morale, which makes them useful for holding the line or punching holes in hostile formations.

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.

200 Adgenios Druidos

Adgenios Druidos
(Brythonic Druidic Nobles)

Druids inspire by their magical presence, and are formidable warriors themselves.

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.
