Well, with some imagination you could make a fair attempt at what a Pictish
warrior might have pict (ha!) up.

Take a roman style helm, no shirt, bare minimum highly decorated kidney belt,
Romanesque bracers which conceal the elbow cops, rope-tied stripey pants
covering the knee cops and brogans. Apply lovely swirls of woad to any exposed
area. You may also keep the vambraces the light brown natural color and paint 
them with blue swirls. From a distance you could appear bare-armed and decorated
with the woad.

Not a true Pict but does have that "feel".
