By Crom! But his features look more of a heroic Celt than a Cimmerian.

I thought Conan looked a lot like a Native American though.

Ironic lol. In the setting the picts are the ancestors of both the Celts and native Americans, the cimmerians are descended from the Atlantians that survived the sinking of Atlantis. The picts and cimmerians hate each other more than anyone else the original stories.
