thanks everyone!  :love:

many thanks to you, WM and the osprey plate too!
(very interesting 'top-knots' so I should try one but too bad our klicky earrings are oversized even for a germanic klicky  :P

spiked hair?! maybe PM might come out with a skateboarder with coloured spiked hair  ;)

youre absolutely correct in that I'm interested in only a general interpretation (just like my red indians, I cant differentitate mohawks from cheyennes etc)

Library? oh no....even our largest chain of bookstores do not carry Osprey...you can imagine that there's hardly anyone here interested in ancient european wars..maybe some kids wargaming on their PCs but they have no money or interest in historical accuraccy.

(I just dont want my custom to look neither this nor that nor historically impossible  8} )

I quite heartily agree!

As they are, they could be used for either Vikings or Celts.  (that, of course, might be because Vikings are Celtic  -  but they can be used for any of that 1000 year plus time spread)

I have 150 - 160 of these gauls from the funpark all still in their bags , i was planning to use them with my vikings but due to space restrictions i think they will stay in the bags until i set a roman fort etc etc/ egyptians and use them there.. might still use some in the medieval set up though....

i regret not buying more than two bags of those...  :( Same goes for the african klickies... both were available for so little time and I gave priority to other sets... now they sell for so much on ebay  :'(
