Miniature Gaming and Kilts... oh so wrong

I think more, that our modern view of fashion (especially where kilts are concerned) influences our perception of what celtic fashion was. The link offered some interesting reading. I am not sure how the guys would react to me fielding an army of naked Celts. LOL

The fundamental difficulty of studying ancient history is the fact that only a fraction of it has been documented and only a fraction of those recorded histories have survived into the present day. So, we must rely, somewhat, on individual accounts and, historical research (to include archaeological sites).

That would be interesting, to see their reactions .

I think it looks reasonably accurate. The kilt wasn't worn back then, but tartan breccae supposedly were. The severed heads, handle-bar 'staches, weaponry, and gaudy colours all sing to my ancestral blood! (Just kidding.) As for a 'clash of the tartans', if you examine historical paintings, you'll note that this has occurred until fairly recent times.
