MiniMage: Useful, even though it doesn't make much sense for a man to use a halberd while on a horse.

 

[The_Legion]

I think the "headband" looks weird and the shield being a Lion is a bit out of place but overall looks great and pretty useful

 

[Hantoo]

Edge45!!!! Horse Should be my job :I
i like the beard/whatever

 

[Splub]

This is neat! Great job!

 

[Fingolfin]

The meshes look really good, too bad the animations are really poor. They look very robotic and sometimes snappy. Also i dislike the grey back of the shield. Please fix this, because it could be a very useful model.

 

[Eagle XI]

Thats not how to use a lance and shield isnt elven.

The animations are those of the Orc Warchief in the actual game so I'd recommend he make new ones as well.

 

[kakuzu]

Great model , it can be useful for a high elves map !

 

[Forsaken]

Wow, It's looks really nice and useful! Good work!

Really? Well, must have just been the interpolation not showing in the hive viewer then.

 

[HerrDave]

Very well done, the animations look a little funny but bugger it, it looks brilliant!

4/5

Working on the back of the shield, the animations are from the ROC ChaosWarlord model.

About the issue with the texture not elvish enough, the point of this is make a knight unit for the high elven techtree with the vainilla knight textures, the shield works with the knight texture, for me more than the spellbreaker or the lieutenant.

Or, i'm missing something about the Lion?

-Edit-

wut? which texture have the Lion face? It look awesome... and i don't know which texture it is.. mind telling me?

[Heinvers]

This is okay-ish I guess.

Although the file-size could be lower given the model's rather simplistic look.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Ah dannae; simple but useful. The lion shield & black armor is kinda off-putting, though.

 

[Kazeon]

Man, this is such a very nice model. I feel sorry for you, some of THW users are having a real trouble in giving objective ratings. This is just /absolutely/ better than some of 5/5-user-rated crap models lately.

Personally, I will give you 4/5 but I will help the rating so I will give 5/5 instead.

For quality, it's looking really good.

I don't know about modeling shits, but I assume the meshes are indeed good, but I didn't notice any problem with the animation. My suggestion is just to lower the left hand a bit (hand with shield).

Anyway, good job there!

 

[Vincent_Freeman]

Nice one, and very useful for me. But I think, that you should replace the lion shield. To me, the image of elves has no connetion to lions. Eagle will fit this rider better. I know I'ts a stereotype but still.

 

[Jaina Proudless]

Awesome model! ...

However... The way he holds the shield is awkward and his attack animations are really odd. The guys looks like he has either a glaive or spear with a really big spear and he uses it to bash enemies as if it's a club... I though he would use it more like a spear with a lunging action.

 

[Argos]

It doesnt strike me as elvish or light armored though good job!

 

[Gismo359]

It looks more like a heavy cavalry with that armor, it also makes him more humanish that elven (whatever that means). Otherwise looks good to me.

 

[sonofjay]

Solid unit overall. I like the horse armor and the weapon's handle is pretty.

 

[Eagle XI]

With all the black armor he looks rather an outcast one and spiked shoulderpads whilst fulfilling the rule of cool arent exactly highelven either, alongside that shield.

 

[Himperion]

Ok, Sunday Blinkboy send me a model with the animations reworked to look less robotic, i need to give him proper thanks for that ;_;, and Mystic give me the go to use his Halberd. So i need to change the rotation of the spear in some animations to upload the new version.

About the shield texture i'm working in an alternative even if a like the actual look xD, and i want to point at the dragonhawk and the big cat face shield...

The second screen is ingame to compare it with the vainilla knight.

 

[Hantoo]

Hope to see more Knight
the Halberd with the Lance Looks Wierd :\

 

[Jaina Proudless]

It's a lot better now. But it's weird how now that you gave him lunging attack animations you also gave him halberd-type weapon... oh well I guess you can blame it on elven incompetence in battle. Those long-eared human wannabes should stick to bows and spells!

 

[Go'el]

Nice portrait, good animations, works ingame, beautiful model, so 5/5 for approval.

 

[Himperion]

Oh my... Two months and no mood here ;_;

Well thanks to Idaero Ace for his work doing the sun logo from scratch.

I was thinking for a solution for the shield that don't requiere a custom texture, the tabbards from paladinjs were the inspiration from this.

Don't known if left the sun in white like the unicorn simbol, or made it golden.

 

[Kyrbi0]

That's a cool symbol, but texturally it'll need some work before it fits in with the rest of the wrap.

 

[Eagle XI]

Try stylizing the sun symbol a little bit.

 

[Hantoo]

At the Spell animation, It seems that it slice the Horse head

 

[cezarynight7]

nice design and good looking, but animation attack - 3 and victory stand are a bit strange, when you look closely.

 

[Bain_Rebirth]

Nice additions to the horse, and the headband seems like a nice idea, but it looks awfully odd. Also the shield could be angled a little less, he seems to be holding it perpendicular to the horse, while i feel it should be somewhat parallel.
Aside from that I think this is a 3/5 for now.

 

[Centurion2]

is it "light"? It's more likely a heavy cavalry than a light cavalry : it's very well armored.

Compared to the Death Knight and the Normal, is less armored xD

 

[Paillan]

This is totally not a Light rider xD

But it's very neat, 3,7/5

 

[Himperion]

Ok, most of the problems with the axe going through the horse head gone.

 

[Connacht]

Nice work. This really brightened up my day. I needed that.

 

[Diegoit]

Shield bug notable with distance

But really good model
