Non combat types have to line up in front of the Godar with his big pot of woad to get the swirling magical runes and picturespainted over their body - heavily tattoos huscarls and the like have them already!
All IMG with some Astrix and what I remember of Tacitus' description of the Celts (and what I remember from seeing on the skin of the Lindow Man (Celt noble ritually sacrificed and preserved in a peat bog).
Cheers Dougie.
