The Irish. These figures can represent Irish forces across different historical contexts. They are well suited to later-period conflicts involving raids, settlement and warfare during the Viking Age, as well as earlier “Scotti” warbands operating in Ireland and across Britain. At the same time, the same troops can also be used to depict earlier post-Roman Irish forces in the Arthurian period, as the underlying tribal organisation, equipment and social structure remained broadly consistent across these eras.
