I think this looks a lot more natural. The pectoral muscles start at about armpit level (as seen here) versus at shoulder level, where it was last model. I think in looks a lot better. (although now try moving the belly button down a voxel or so? I dunno, it just seems too high for me…)

I props wont be making any more models at the moment until I’m finished with animating them in blender, so that means alot of more hard work that shall be done in a few weeks or so, I may even show you some little bits and bobs here and then.

I was fully expecting you to type ‘bits and boobs’ there.

I think I need to go to bed.

Model definitely looks better though, look forward to seeing your blender work!

Sorry their was no updates for the last hundreds of weeks but unfortunately my computers hard disk malfunction and I lost all my data, I sent it back because it was still under warrant so I now have a new one and I also have to redo everything I ever done… So after I’m done doing that I will get back to making more Spartans! (Also gauls)

Looks great! We already have a bunch of models of other empires ( Rome, Japan, etc.) and this is a great addition!

By the way, you know the “This is Sparta” scene in 300? If you modeled that it would be pretty cool 😉

Okay guys here is an update for the Spartans, first thing I want to show off is 2 new weapons via Sword and Shield and also an iron version of the Spartan shield.

 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/stonehearth/original/3X/9/f/9f274fdd2d1d34a62a887d5d1e5add41cf759a1a.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/stonehearth/original/3X/d/4/d4399ad174c7d54a65d6be9680d39146d23ccf86.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/stonehearth/original/3X/3/7/37d6ca4373e8fcf8d4a112187e074e4eefa04b57.png)

Now here is the iron version of a Spartan helmet, I couldn’t decide which one I liked best so I’m leaving it to you guys to decide the left one is A and the right one is B. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/stonehearth/original/3X/2/1/2188625ff1b8394a9fb79196816d5fe5c73eb80e.png)

Alright here is some more pictures, I made a different version of the starting first 2 ranks of helmets and I’m not too sure which one is best, the top row is A and the bottom part is B.

 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/stonehearth/original/3X/c/e/cebc62e48d08e95878e4ef3fa47e7e046725b862.png)

Now to show you the new and improved armour!

Note: this is from 300 😃

Cool! I’m loving the. 300 stuff, and I think A is better, with the gold trim making the helmet look more diverse in the color department.

Where’s the pit? It’s missing the pit. How can this be spartan _without_ the pit?

Hey mate, just an idea you could build helots, they would have no name just be called helot and you could make them your workers. Check out my tutorial for how to mod it in:

> [@\[TUTORIAL\] Adding in build-able, upgradable humans](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/tutorial-adding-in-build-able-upgradable-humans/6558):
>
> Here’s how to add in build-able human entities. This could be used to build any entity with ai, just create a new mixin with what you want it to do. Still no way to build it with items already equipped, check out the eve thread if you have ideas. Tutorial: Adding eve, it goes through quick because I use jing. I skip over the basic stuff covered in other tutorials. Part 1: Modding the files Part 2: How she works and whats next (video doesn’t show gameplay, its broken!)

Just change eve to helot. Make a male and a female one then promote them to the classes. I think it would be awsome as only your spartans are important enough to have names, so who cares if a helot dies.
