Cordinau Orca
(Scordisci Elite Swordsmen)

The Scordisci are Celtic warriors who live near Macedonia. They are famous for their use of sheering curved swords that can cause an opponent terrible gashes, and are known to use the skulls of their enemies as drinking cups. 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.

Batores
(Celtic Clubmen)

These men are a peasant levy, but are usually the strongest men around, chosen by the local chieftain. Their poor armament and protection makes them fast and well-suited for their task. The Batores are equipped with crude weapons, usually heavy clubs and various forestry and farming tools, like axes and other chopping instruments.

200 Uercingetes

Uercingetes
(Late Celtic Champions)

These swordsmen are an evolved, late version of the classic champions. They can afford expensive chainmail with a surcoat of mail for adding protection to the shoulders and chest. Only the king and nobles of very high lineage could expect to enlist some of these warriors as soldiers. It is not unusual for these Uercingetes to have their own Ambactes.

Excinges
(Celtic Light Infantry)

These light troops are called "those who march out" of the main army. They are brave and well-equipped, but not heavily armoured, because agility is the key of their tactics. They march on the wings of the main battleline, ready to take quick flanking manoeuvers, ambushes, and other tactical moves.

Ueragris
(Celtic Medium Swordsmen)

Although wealthy enough to afford a helmet, the Ueragris wear no armour, to be fast enough to intercept enemy skirmishers. They are battle-hardened and experienced warriors, and carry two heavy javelins and a longsword.

Skordiskoi Spathephoroi
(Scordisci Swordsmen)

Spathephoroi (swordbearers) are common longsword warriors: well protected, agile, and tremendously aggressive. They are fierce and fearless opponents for peoples not regarded as especially tender themselves, including their Thracian neighbours.
