Tired, so I’m out for the night. Maybe I’ll paint some Catachans Imperial Guard for a bit.

On an aside…I got about halfway through “300: Rise of an Empire”.

What a crock of dingo dung.

At least they got the name of Greek Admiral Themistocles right. Everything else is fiction. The Greek ships were heavier and slower then the Persian ships. The movie gets it backwards. The Persians used paid professional rowers like the Greeks..not slaves. Because of the Persian numbers and superior speed of their ships, Themistocles anchored his battleline at Salamis with one flank against the mainland and the other against an island, making it impossible for the Persians to use their advantages and forcing them to attack the Greeks head on with only part of their fleet. They were soundly thrashed…but not anything like the movie.

This is one case where the history is better than the fiction. meh.
