greek sci fi =D
cool stuff man, i like the idea

u should do more greek(ancient, fantasy, whatever)-sci fi stuff

everyone likes some fusion once in a while =D
:iconithmaril:
If you like ancient influences in military sci-fi tech, you probably should check out Nova- maybe once we're able to do an english translation. ;) There's a lot of stylistic roman influence in the imperial legion, and, specifically greek, the Ekratos Union, which is a kind of philosopher and artist society founded by humans, supported by a legion of AIs and robots they treat like slaves, with very heavy greek influence. Hell, they even call their ground troops "phalanx"- now guess how their special forces are called. ;)

hoplits? myrmidons?
plz tell me its myrmidons =D
:iconithmaril:
It is. :D For a long time, "Spartans" was considered, but we don't want to legally mess with the makers of Halo. ;) And "Myrmidons" sounds much cooler anyway, doesn't it? Even more after all that sparta stuff got so overly popular in the wake of 300.

Yeah, I know, but hardly anyone knows, and the ones who know also are well aware that it's mostly about Achilles' hardest-hitting homies from the Trojan War.

Besides that, ant people rock. We've got an alien race of these, and they're even playable... but now I'm just advertising again. ;)

Good night!

Im liking the tubing and easy looking armouring on the suits. They look really nice, im not sure about the plume on the head but considering the historical source it is pretty on the dot.

Good night and good luck.

It's mostly a purely stylistic thing, introduced by a former emperor who started promoting his nation as the kind of ancient rome-like "civilized, shiny center of mankind".

I'm glad you like the basic design.
