the Cimmerians are neighbors of the Picts (geographically), Picts are probably based on the ancient people with this name of the actual British Isles ---->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picts
In AOC they look Norwegian(minus the warpaint and hair):

this is the best drawing of Conan, in my opinion, based on the original description of Robert E Howard.

hair straight and dense, black as the plumage of a crow.
Conan look Norwegian too...:cool:
As an anecdote, Howard talks of the Hyborians as people who come in waves from the east and occupied the lands of the West, bordering the lands of Cimmerians and Picts, later, at the end of the "Hyborian Age" the Picts attack in hordes and destroy the Hyborian cities.
Yeah originally it was in Weird Tales, but now you can get most of Howard's stories in book format, I have the centenary edition.
