If you were building a Spartan army, what type of figures would you want to use?

1) Persian Wars period in bell cuirasses, Corinthian helmets
2) Peloponnesian War/Corinthian Wars period in lighter armor, pilos helmet
3) Hellenistic period as phalangites
4) Nude with thongs and capes a la "300"
5) Cloaked and Romanized a la "The 300 Spartans"

1 and 2 which is what my Spartan army is made up of using mostly Foundry figures with a heavy emphasis on 2.

2) for sure; I suspect I will end up doing one at some point, and it has to be the minimalist, more umm, spartan look….

1&2, plus a few extra units as 4, just for laughs.

Gotta be 1 in the spirit of "with this shield or on it" not those wimpy later boys.

I like the look of 1 best.

I have all but 4 in sufficient quantities to make an army.

1 and 2 with a dash of 4 just for fun.

4 – the movie is quite awesome despite its flaws
