200 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.

Wenoi Iwerakoi
(Irish Elite Swordsmen)

These swordsmen are older and very experienced, usually wearing a good quality helmet and leather armour under their tunics. They are elite swordsmen, using heavy javelins and longswords for devastating attacks, and are very useful as a flanking unit.

Wiri Gurmakoi
(Irish Painted Warriors)

Celtic painted warriors are chosen for their strength, men of above-average physique. Perfect line-breakers with their heavy swords, they can also be described as young "champions," who are either not wealthy enough to afford armour, or shun its use in order to be more agile, though some wear helmets. They are tattooed and usually half- or completely naked, their hair typically painted and coated with white cender to be more impressive.

Kladiwowiri
(Irish Swordsmen)

These men are the Kladibabekos, the sword-wielding warriors. With murderous blades they carve out their place in the community. Where lesser men may plough the fields to earn their porridge, these men harvest the spoils of war.

300 Karutses

Karutses
(Irish Veteran Warriors)

These highly mobile warriors use spears as well as longswords. They wear no armour but perhaps a light leather jacket and a simple helmet, like the coolus. All is conceived for maximised mobility and speed on the battlefield. As usual, the main decisive shock is provided by a single, furious charge.

Inhumanly decorated, and inhumanly savage, these men are dangerous indeed.

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 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.
