Elgb's "Barbarians Battle Royale" EDGES!!!

Short: Yeah sure. Everybody knows that the Spatha is the weapon used by the Romans to kill hundreds of Celts from Britain to Gaul. But the reason for this is not because of the sword only, but also because of the Roman's tight battle formations. If used in a small squadron butcherfest instead of the regular total war battle, the spatha won't do no good. The longsword has the longer blade and probably has twice the performance as well. EDGE: Celt

Mid: The Lancea takes the edge due to its longer reach and practicality than a heavy axe. The axe is also not that effective against chainmail. EDGE: Celt

Long: The longbow takes the obvious edge due to its superior range. EDGE: Celt

Special:The Boss shield easily. A dagger is a good final ditch weapon and all, but a boss shield is a good offensive and defensive weapon that can block any weapon the Celt has. EDGE: Varangian

Deadliest Warrior: Celt Chieftain

At first, I was going to vote for the Varangian, thinking that he will be having his chainmail armor while the Celt will be charging half naked (which he usually does), but after you pointed out in the xfactor that both will be armored, then everything else falls into place. Although the Varangian is more successful in his skirmishes and probably more disciplined as well, the Celt's been fighting far longer and has a more well-crafted fighting heritage. All of the Celt's weapons will penetrate the Varangian chainmail with ease, and as you can see he takes most of the weapon edges above. The only obvious problem the Celt has is the boss shield, but I'm pretty sure that with his abundance of weaponry, he can probably take out that shield, and then he'll have no problem taking out the guard.
