Greetings!
Hmmm...Well.
All of the whining and gnashing of teeth over how "Unrealistic" or "Sexist" the women warriors or barbarians only wearing "Chainmail Bikinis" for armour can cry some more tears then. Too bad.
ROMAN historians and Generals, such as Tacitus and Julius Caesar wrote that many of the Celtic barbarians and especially the German barbarians that fought against the Roman legions entirely naked, or clothed only in animal furs and ritual jewelry.
And also, for the historians inclined that may be tempted to claim, "Well, barbarians went into battle naked or otherwise without armour because they were primitive and poor, and only their tribal nobles and chieftains could afford to go into battle wearing armour..."
That argument doesn't wash, either. It is partially true, though it is also a fact that many barbarians purposely chose not to wear armour when going into battle for spiritual reasons--because they believed they were spiritually protected by the gods, and also that by going into battle naked, or only wearing blessed animal furs and ritual jewelry, they were demonstrating their courage and prowess, and they were also publicly insulting their armour-clad enemies--and also standing as a living exhortation to their fellow tribal warriors to summon their own courage in the face of the enemy, and reminding them all that it was glorious to die in battle defending their people and their ways.
So, yeah. Have your warriors, men and women alike, going into battle wearing only a fur cloak, a jeweled neck torc, and their weapons. That is not fantasy, unrealistic, or sexist.
It is straight from history and undeniable fact.
