Animation Rating 6/5
but the shield's wrap is little wierd
But I like the Walk Defend, but i think you should change it to stand channel
For People who make spell, can use it as Rushing While Bashing people :D
and make a slower walk defend (Walk) if you decide to change it walk defend

Extremely useful, Overall 4/5 just need to improve the shield

Thank you all wery much guys, I didn't expect such a good reception.

Hayate, what exactly do you mean by shield wrapping? If you're talking about it clipping through arm and shoulder, I think I'm gonna fix it. What about the walk defend animation, I'm not really into ability making, but can't they just use it with it's provided name with triggers? I'd create a duplicate of that sequence called stand channel, but I don't know how to copy multiple keyframes in Mdlvis (if it's even possible), so I'll have to manually copy all of them, which is D:

Originality: There are not many lizardmen models on the hive that are not naga-looking ish. This one is quite original. 6/10
Quality: It looks good, matches w3 style and animations are good as well. The problem is the filesize, it has 326 KB (quite a lot, I think), but I repeat, it looks good. 9/10
Usefulness: This model is very useful as a basic melee combat unit. 8/10
4.2/5(4/5)
Anyway, keep improving!

very cool. the animation work at this is great.

I just ask myself, though, the custom texture you're using is pretty close to the dragonspawn itself, I know it would be a pain in the ass now, but you could've used the in-game texture, couldnt you? :v

oh, and you could 'clean it up' removing unused animations ('deathninada'), that would help a bit with filesize too.

overall, great job, willing to see the others :)

This is pretty dang good for a first-timer, man. I'm not a huge fan of Lizardmen, but this is definitely a good representation of the race. Nice & cohesive, good joints, simple construction... The only thing missing is in-game textures. Le sigh. Can't win 'em all, I guess?

So, what do you have planned after the Lizardmen set? Any... Trolls...? :D

If I use only ingame textures, quality will significantly drop. Is 220 kb still too much? The model itself is 160kb, so in order to drop 100 kb more I'll have to remove a lot of stuff (satyr.mdx, which those are based on, is 130 kb). I can make another skin that uses dragonspawn standard texture, but it will look crappy as hell. I've seen models of similar size here, after all.

Oh, thank you for understanding.

Btw, how much does the file size affect download time? It was rather fast even for my friend who constantly complains about his slow internet connection. I guess it's about complex maps where 100 extra kb here and there turns to be like a couple extra mb or something. Optimization is a darn tough thing.
