Gothic the first pic was for the horn trumpet not the helmet  :lol:
I know lol. But if the helmet is terribad, I 'm not too sure about the horn.
The helmet isn't even historical accurate. Helmets with horns are stupid ideas.

Don't worry, the same instrument is depicted in several museums so it's not just a improvisation for sure.

Y'know...Celtic Tribes is WAY to general. Why not pick a certain region (Such as Gaul or the Britannia) to base the research on?
Yeah I know... :neutral:
I think in general it's best to try and depict the Celts of Gaul and northern Italy, considering the current time frame of around 300-200 BC.

And I just remembered I have a bunch of Celtic helmets and other stuff I still haven't posted...
 
If this mods time frame is between 300 and 200 BCE, I would suggest basing your Celtic faction on the Confederacies in the Po Valley. They where the Gauls that fought Rome the most in this period, along with those of the Iberian Peninsular and Southern Gallica (while not so much). It definitely isn't a good idea to base your Celtic faction on the whole of Celtica, because that is just too much variety and will make everything too complex. It's like having a faction based on all the Hellenistic States and Empires of this period :wink:
 
The thing is, some of the Gallic Tribes looked a lot like the romans, Because they well, killed them then used their stuff.

Quite the opposite, Romans copied Gallic stuff. The most notable examples are the hamata (Chainmail), the montefertino (helmet) and the later Galea helmet used by the Imperial Legionaries.

Goidils ? (Irish tribe)

The rest are ok and we have them on the first page of the thread.
I appreciate the help (probably enforced by Ej) but random google pics don´t help much and we focus on Celts between the Po Valley and what is now Normandy. Historical advice and findings would be more helpful to recreate a correct Celtic civilisation.
 
This is a great German documentary about the Celts, that lived in South-West Germany.
I focuses a lot on Celtic settlements, with nice computer animations and partially reconstructed historical sites.


At 19:25 they speak about a Celtic settlement in Bundenbach, they are producing a 3D reconstruction of it, very enjoyable to watch!

At 35:42 they speak about Celtic Viereckschanzen ("four-corner-rampart") and show a real reconstruction in progress and a finished 3D reconstruction:

IMO the current Celtic scenes look more like village or town buildings than city buildings. This is something I rambled on about along with some other people about 0ad. It just seems that the Roman scenes have more effort than Gaulish ones (although I understand that currently you're not focusing on the Gauls).
