tbf, the swords could be extremely variable. I remember one incident wherein a Celtic tribe's swords bent after some hard fighting and they had to have their comrades cover them while they tried to straighten them back out to a semi-fight-worthy condition.
Also, while blue paint was Briton, according to Caesar, tattooing and war paint more generally are attested to in literary sources (though not uncontroversially) amongst other Celtic peoples.
How to beat the celts:
Fight them in a fight of hip high stinging nettles, holly or hogweed
Explanation: While not a universal practice of Celtic peoples, there are occasional incidents wherein Celtic tribes were noted to go into battle naked or near-naked to prove their bravery.
A naked guy running at you with a sword is pretty intimidating.
