This armor set for Sven is based on the Ancient Greek Hoplite soldier of Lacedaemon (Sparta), legendary for their discipline, strategy and prowess in battle. It includes 6 pieces:

- Kopis of The Hoplite: Kopis was the single edged sword used by Greek Hoplites. This one, of course, a bit unorthodox in size and shape...
- Helm of The Hoplite: Based loosely on the classic Corinthian bronze helmet with some of Sven's own work on the comb.
- Perixeirida of The Hoplite: A perixeirida (arm and shoulder guard), albeit rare on hoplite soldiers, might have been used when a hoplon (shield) was unavailable or infeasible.
- Gauntlet of The Hoplite: A bit more reinforced than the usual hoplite greave, it suits Sven's armor projectile needs.
- Belt of The Hoplite: With a traditional tunic undergarment, and less traditional reinforced metal plating sporting the lambda of Lacedaemon.
- Cape of The Hoplite: Although cloaks and capes were part of the more ceremonial hoplite uniform, Sven carries it proudly into battle emblazoned with a golden lambda.
