Lets see shall we

Short Range 

The Migration Sword is not only longer than the Longsword but it's also lighter, making it quicker to swing and less tiring to carry around and use. Due to the chainmail armour, the Celt is reduced to thrusting and as his sword is shorter he'll have a hard time getting close enough to thrust with it and his own lack of armour only makes the Migration Sword more effective.

Edge: Visigoth 

Mid Range 

The Scythe certainly brings the cool factor to the battle but takes the unwanted title of 'Awesome but Impratical'. It does bring an intimidation factor but this is heavily outweighed by the disadvantage of being slow to swing and leaving the user open to counter attack if he misses. The Lancea is longer, less cumbersome to use and can be thrown, giving it more versatility.

Edge: Celt 

Long Range

I'm just going to come out and say it; Both of these weapons are completely useless. The Sling is the more accurate of the two but it's only really effective against unarmoured opponents, which the Visigoth is not and has little to no killing potentional unless it hits the head, which again the Visigoth has covered. The Javelin is more lethal but it's also notoriously innaccurate and was meant to be used in formation against large groups of warriors not in a one on one duel. Neither of these two weapons are going to get any kills in this battle so i'm going to call it even.

Edge: Even 

Special Weapon 

The Flail brings the wow factor to the battle with it's menacing apperance and sheer power as well as having the longer range. However it also requires a high level of awareness from the user to make sure they don't accidentally cave their own skull in instead of their opponent. The Burda is not as long or as heavy but it is much quicker to swing and the Celt doesn't have to worry about accidentally injuring himself. Blunt Trauma weaponry is also highly effective against the chainmail that the Visigoth is wielding. In the end both have postives and negatives so I'm going to call it even.

Edge: Even 

X Factors 

The Celt has an average of 82 whereas the Visigoth has an average of 83.75.

Edge: Visigoth 

Final Verdict 

This really comes down to two similar warriors but with one just being better armoured and that warrior is the Visigoth. In terms of weaponry they are both pretty equal, both of them tie in special and long range and each take an edge in mid range (celt) and short range (visigoth). What wins it for him really is his Armour which gives him much more protection against the Celt's weaponry whereas the Celt has barely any protection against the Visigoth. The Celt's were routinely beaten by more disciplined and better armoured opponents even when they had far superior numbers and the Visigoths are that opponent. It also helps that the Visigoths did better against the same opponents that the Celts had which shows a superior tactical and combat prowess.

Visigoth: 4,000

Celt: 1,000
