"in Ancient times, there were soldiers, and then there were Spartans. Hailing from the Greek city-state of Sparta, situated in the Laconia region of the Peloponnese, these warriors were renowned for their ferocity, valor, and sheer discipline in the face of overwhelming odds. 300 of these brave warriors faced down the mighty Persian Empire at Thermopylae, laying down their lives for the right of the Greeks to remain unconquered.
Today, their legacy is carried on. Now, the Spartans defend Humanity itself from grave dangers such as the barbarian Covenant and the loathsome Flood, always giving their all in the fight. Never surrendering to their enemies, never giving quarter to the barbarian hordes...
Molon Labe. Come and take them!"

Indeed. Especially when one considers that they had some very similar dispositions. (besides the laconic sense of humor)

Loyalty to their country and to their fellow Spartans. Honor. Valor in the face of overwhelming odds. A commitment to the cause. A truly laconic sense of humor. (Dark, gritty, and blunt.) Both are natural born leaders of men.

Thank you.
My favorite laconic phrase comes from the age of Philip II and Alexander the Great, when the Spartans were debating whether or not to come to the aid of Thebes against Alexander. When one Spartan elder argued for it based on their victory against the Persians a century and a half prior, another questioned him: "So because we defeated a thousand sheep, we're ready to take on a hundred wolves?"
Another is when Philip threatened to invade Sparta, claiming that if he went into Spartan territory, he would slaughter them all and burn their city to the ground.
The Spartan reply: "If."
Subsequently, neither Philip nor Alexander interfered with Spartan affairs ever again.

Wow, I've seen quit a bit of Halo fan art, but this is amazing.The light effects sticks out. The fog effect makes it look like the gun smoke covering the are. But the thing that caught my attention would be the flash of the assault rifle reflect flawlessly on the helmet.

this is one of the best halo arts ive seen, your sense of lighting gives it a real obscurity, like they have no idea whats going on, plus it highlights the cool light effects on the armor. very nice.
