Help with fanatic Gauls.

[Tim Haslam]

I’m putting a force together of mainly fanatic Celts/Gauls
Most of my figures will be the Victrix naked Gallic warriors set.
I’ve mixed in the usual metal types from, Warlord, Crusader etc.
But I’m after a couple of heroic fantasy types, just to add a bit of difference to the look.
I’ve tried Hassle Free and Heresy, with a couple of hopefuls from those guys.

Any other suggestions?
Basically I’m after naked blokes I can pass off as nutty Celts!
But perhaps larger than life (pun intended!!! )

Cheers

The axes aren't really Gallic, but the Wargames Foundry norse berserkers might fit the bill otherwise:

This Foundry chap fits the bill:

The weird sorcerer and evil priestess from Northstar might be handy too:

My naked Gallic fanatics are all from Old Glory and are a bit dated.  I don't know how small they are compared to newer Victrix and other lines.   https://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/proddetail.asp?prod=CWG-07

For a hero, though, you can look at Eureka's Cu Chulainn:

Some good suggestions guys, thanks.
I’ve already press ganged those naked Germans into the force.

That figure from Eureka is awesome!
I wonder if it’s worth posting the single model to the UK?

Keep up the good work.

[Citizen Sade]

I think you’ll be fine.

Iron Wind sells this old Ral Partha Celtic musician:

I’ve also ordered a giant from the Copplestone 15mm barbarian range.
He’s 40mm high, so just a big bloke at 28mm scale.
He’s almost naked! Lol

I’ll check out those other thanks.
This army should start looking good now.
I just want it to remain historical but with a hint of myth about it.
After all any Romans they fight will be telling very tall tales about them!

[Tim Haslam]

I’ve ordered the Eureka model too.

On the same subject, except maybe not naked, I’m also after druids?
I figure religion would have played a major role in these early fanatic forces.
I’ve got the cool Druid type that comes in the Victrix chariot set.
But any other suggestions?
Remember a little hint of fantasy is ok, just not multiple skulls like GW make!

[Fremitus Borealis]

I've got the druid mini from Gorgon Miniatures. He's wearing pants, but he's definitely nutty 

I've got another unpainted druid figure who actually is naked but I can't remember the manufacturer... I'll have a think and report back!
Edit: found him! https://www.relicminiatures.com/product/druid-1/

Hello Tim,

There is two set of Druids in the Westwind arthurian range.
they are pretty cool included a sacrifial vignette (no picture on the website)
https://westwindproductions.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=192_69_151

and that one, i convert it into Druids :



the WH flagellants from GW are a good set too for conversion.

i have in mind to use the Westwind's Russian priest too. With some change they can be turn easily into cet priests.



have e lot of fun

cheers
Eric

Lots of Druid types around, ditto recommend the Westwind sacrifice.
Picture on this site: http://theleutnantsdiary.blogspot.com/2011/06/druids-at-work.html

I assume you've seen these guys from Warlord?



They're smaller figures though, the Westwind ones are slightly larger.

There are also various nude Greeks like these light infantry from Foundry:

[Tim Haslam]

I’ve got a couple of those foundry Greeks ready to recruit!
Like that Druid sacrifice set.

I’ll check the others out, thanks.

[Tim Haslam]

I’d like this guy, anybody got one for sale?

[Codsticker]

If I had that set it would be the other three for sale.
