illustration of a warrior with a shield based on the Salisbury hoard, a sword based on the hilt from Hod Hill and on the scabbard from Isleham and finally the shield from Leicestershire on the side. Note that the warrior is also carrying a javelin with a bonehead.

Finally, this artist is producing a lot of fantasy material but I like the bodypainting of the warrior:

Leather vest and patterned woven cloth armor. @Genava55

It seems fine. Although on the left one I see a kind of collar looking like a "torc" texture. Is it intended?

This makes me realize we need more styles of capes. Would help with differentiation, since every single caped unit uses the exact same cape shape and textures. 

I totally agree. There are multiple ways to wear it.
Here a few Gauls:

Also, I have read Gallic archers here, so.. :yes:

For the Gauls yes. It could be a way to differentiate them.

nice work :) its possible to add sword scabbard to brit/infantry_spearman_e (green ground) and brit/champion_infantry_swordman (green ground) like gauls spearman_e and champion_infantry_swordman (red ground)? Britons look naked without scabberd :(

The topic of the scabbard is still an issue for both factions.

Cassius Dio, Roman History, Book 5, Chapter 62: "All this I [Boudicca] say, not with the purpose of inspiring you with a hatred of present conditions, — that hatred you already have, — nor with fear for the future, — that fear you already have, — but of commending you because you now of our own accord choose the requisite course of action, and of thanking you for so readily co-operating with me and with each other. 2 Have no fear whatever of the Romans; for they are superior to us neither in numbers nor in bravery. And here is the proof: they have protected themselves with helmets and breastplates and greaves and yet further provided themselves with palisades and walls and trenches to make sure of suffering no harm by an incursion of their enemies. For they are influenced by their fears when they adopt this kind of fighting in preference to the plan we follow of rough and ready action. 3 Indeed, we enjoy such a surplus of bravery, that we regard our tents as safer than their walls and our shields as affording greater protection than their whole suits of mail. As a consequence, we when victorious capture them, and when overpowered elude them; and if we ever choose to retreat anywhere, we conceal ourselves in swamps and mountains so inaccessible that we can be neither discovered or taken. 4 Our opponents, however, can neither pursue anybody, by reason of their heavy armour, nor yet flee; and if they ever do slip away from us, they take refuge in certain appointed spots, where they shut themselves up as in a trap. 5 But these are not the only respects in which they are vastly inferior to us: there is also the fact that they cannot bear up under hunger, thirst, cold, or heat, as we can. They require shade and covering, they require kneaded bread and wine and oil, and if any of these things fails them, they perish; for us, on the other hand, any grass or root serves as bread, the juice of any plant as oil, any water as wine, any tree as a house. 6 Furthermore, this region is familiar to us and is our ally, but to them it is unknown and hostile. As for the rivers, we swim them naked, whereas they do not across them easily even with boats. Let us, therefore, go against them trusting boldly to good fortune. Let us show them that they are hares and foxes trying to rule over dogs and wolves."

"… the Britons are unprotected by armour (?). There are very many cavalry. The cavalry do not use swords nor do the wretched Britons mount in order to throw javelins."

Found in Vindolanda, probably a Roman soldier describing the Caledonians.
