The Koinon Hellenon can recruit them, at a level 5 factional MIC, IIRC, in Sparta only. Perhaps this would be more relevant in the EB1 forum seeing as development has hardly started on EB2 yet?
EDIT: Perhaps I misread the question?

thanks, so Koinon Hellenon will have the spartan hoplites with the red robes? Hopefully a change is made so that they have the full helmet with the faceguard instead of just the helmet.
Although I'm not on the team, I can tell you the helmet won't be changing unless you can produce strong historical evidence of the use of the Corinthian Helm in this period. I agree that the Corinthian is much better looking, but it's just not historical in this time period, although there's nothing stopping you swapping the skin with another one.![]()

Is that enough evidence or are you talking about someone actually stating from that time period that they wore a certain type of helmet
Nobody denies that the spartans used corinthian helms, it is just that by ebs time frame, that had been replaced with the atticke and I forget what the one the eb spartans use is called,as the corinthian did not give enough visibility. (Though it does look very cool)

"I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose history is ended, whose wars have been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, whose literature is unread, whose prayers are no longer answered.... For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a new Armenia!

Yes, that bust represents a Spartan from about 200 years or more before the time period that EB depicts - it's reasonable evidence for about 500 BC perhaps, but certainly not for 272 BC!
One point I'd like to make: when an artist makes a statue or painting, sometimes he depicts them with the armor of HIS own time period, not that of the subject's (Leonidas, Brasidas, or whoever) period. Take the case of a painting depicting the Fall of Troy with the people in in wearing clothes and armor of the Renaissance--just because the painter lived during the Renaissance. Hawooh.
