The Spartan Games Blog is the portal through which we will communicate major events, where our model makers will chat to you about their latest creations, and artists will share concept art. Additionally, if we need to tell you about new rules, this is the place we’ll do it.

read moreDesigning the Italians
When I was given the chance to design the Italian aesthetic I knew I wanted to throw in a few stereotypes to help make them a nation that would really stand out. Like all that is iconic in Italian design, whether it be supercars, sports boats, apparel or other fashionable invention, my overall goal was a nation of elegance and beauty delivered through detail and craftsmanship.

read moreThe Ack-Ack Express
“And here comes the 08.13 Ack-Ack Express, right on time! Let’s see those devils make a strafing run now.” In the Civil War many trains were repurposed and heavily armed and armoured for military use. Since then the industry has developed apace, culminating in the Columbia Class Land Train – a marvel able to traverse the battlefield without relying on vulnerable railroads. The true advantage of the Columbia is its exceptional versatility. A simple carriage swap can change the train from flak defence to troop transport...
