Very nice I like the bronze effect on the shield. A question though, did spartans always have crimson cloaks, or is it 300 inspired?

Many ancient writers mention the Spartan Red Cloak.  The red cloak was definetly thought of as a form of uniform. It is also possible that red was used so that blood would not show.

Pah! REAL Spartans were so hard they didn't bleed 

Red was definitely a colour strongly assocoited with Sparta, so it would seem wrong in any other colour.

Yeah, there is something really cool about Greek Hoplites whether they are spartan or not, so doubly cool with Spartan Hoplites.
