Dragonhawk Lancer

When a Dragonhawk Rider survives a crash with his dying beast, he has no choice but to continue the battle on foot...

Saw a request for the Dragonhawk's Rider (on foot) some time ago and decided to give it a go... Used the Bandit's animation and mixing Dragonhawk+Priest+Spellbreaker parts as base, PLUS rigged the attack animation to jabbing/piercing animation (except the spell animation, which retains the original swing motion PLUS the typical Dragonhawk Rider's magic essence on lance)...

UPDATE (23-09-2013) : Added both Blood Elf and High Elf version into the package.
UPDATE (26-09-2013) : Fixed the background display, adjusted an animation looping, and change the death sound, as moderator suggested.

Finally, someone has done it. An unmounted Dragonhawk Rider. This can open up an interesting techtree.

Here's a techtree idea:

Why not have an unmounted Dragonhawk choose between mounting this unit or the Archer?

Here's the link for the Archer mounting the Dragonhawk.

Anyways, congratulations on the model. I'm sure there are hivers waiting for such model.

Knowing now that this is a stabbing unit, can you try to make a fencer unit based off your Lancer, just without the shield, the lance replaced with a rapier, and would look a little more human in design, but this is just a suggestion since there is no unit or model that I can find that is predominantly using the stabbing animation as the basic attack.

Doesn't work for me. Model doesn't show up. Not in WE nor in game. Tried to import it in different ways. Any suggestions?

Edit: Problem was with my World Editor. Didn't think so first, because models I imported earlier still got displayed correctly. Reinstalled Warcraft and now it works. Sorry for the post and nice job on that awesome model :)
