Identification of Barbarian/Germanic warriors
Apart playing RTW, I like collecting 1/72 miniature soldiers, from egyptians to late medieval armies. Now I'am trying to identify and give a origin to the generic "Barbarian Warriors" pack of Esci, but I haven't enough knowledge of germanic warriors.



(images extracted from plasticsoldierreview)I know there are bit unhistorical, but they are based on something.
The first warrior with a bow, it seems a Frank for his hairstyle.
1º, it is too neanderthal looking, but he has the same hairstyle as the first one so I suppose it fits in early frank.
3º, carries a curious type of axe, that I have seen on a Osprey is Saxon, but I have seen images being carried by Franks. What do you think?
4º he is plain celt.
5º also a celt.
6º A generic germanic....
7º What do you think about the chieftain? his helmet is historically correct? can be something like a Vandal?
8º the strangest of all. I haven't seen anywhere his hairstyle, and he carries a sort of falcata. This sword was really used by germanic peoples? do you know what used this hairstyle?
9º another generic germanic, similar to a egyptian
.
10º a female warrior, I think the suebians were the people who fighted with more women?..
11º a sort of celtic warrior, with a elaborate helmet. I suppose it has been found somewhere this helmet, somebody knows where?
12º a generic dying germanic....
That's all. If anybody can help, it will be greatly appreciated as I have always wondered who they can be
