"Our call brings hope to the battlefield!"
"Beep, beep!"
Here is a renovated version of an old model in substandard section, i asked for permission to Galendor an'Kreil to edit his model in 2016 and was less experienced with the animations transfers, so the first version was functional, but could be more natural in line with the other units. This newer version is done by merging the Death Knight body animations into the Hawkstrider motions.
From the rest, the rider model is a Farstrider version of a heavy unit. On a final note, the ideal size for unit version is 0.70 or 0.80 in comparation with the knight or warlord, at 1 is more for a hero size.
Update 1:
Inner mouth mesh properly attached to the lips, visible on Portrait talks.
Update 2: Skeleton dissapears before the end of Decay Bone, Stand Victory can now be looped.

Very well executed! Would you consider making a variant with more Blood Elven armor vs the current bandit skin?

If you look from the right angle, during Attack 1 the rider hits the bird on the head 
Yeah, even with the arm stretching, it's shorter than the bird's neck and beak.

It looks like you forgot to attach the part of the mouth to the lower lip(bone), it looks weird.

The Hawkstrider is fantastic. But the rider doesn't look very Elven to me. The brown textures aren't quite selling it to me.

Really good mesh and wrap work. I really dig the helmet. I think the rider being slightly shorter than the average elf is fine, considering how mounted units usually look in this game.
My only gripe is that the first attack sequence lacks the oomph of the other ones. That and it does kinda look like he's whacking the bird's head. Try extending the movement to the mount itself when he swings the ax. It will go a long way to making the attack more dynamic.
Also, weapon variations (sword, spear, lance) could be a nice cherry on top of an already solid model.

Based on the Plain Strider/Raptor from WoW I see, great use of animations and a bunch of custom ones added too. Nice work!

I've noticed some issues with the model. Please fix them:
- Geosets needs to disappear at the end of "Decay Bone" animation.
- Stand Victory should be loopable.
