Here's a painting I did of a Pictish Wolf Swordsman from around the 5th Century!
"The sword will free the land and feed it with invaders' blood."
The Picts lived in northern and eastern Britannia, and successfully drove away all attempts to take the fertile lowlands of their homeland for hundreds of years. Despite defeating the Picts at Mons Graupius around AD83, the Romans never fully conquered their lands, building a wall on the orders of Emperor Hadrian in order to control Pictish raids and martial their trade with the Britons. Where knowledge of terrain was key, the Picts used the land to their advantage, drawing invaders deep into their territory before giving battle. After the Romans departed, this tactic was used to great effect at the Battle of Dun Nechtain. When the Angles attacked they were drawn further and further north until the Picts finally drove their entire army into a loch.

A real Pict fights in the scuddy altogether with nothing but his sword(s) and a shield, with nothing but his shameless brawn daubed in tribal iconography for protection by the Gods. With brazen bollocks he fights for nothing but the safety of his clan or peoples’ land from the Red Barbarian called Rome.
