Some really nice entries there guys, each detailed and nicely modeled. But that Aztec mortar team caught my eye with its unique animations and the fact that it's completely materialised from utah's insane mind hehe.

Though it was a very difficult choice, I voted for the Austrian vegetarian and his babysitters.

Tough choice but I think the mortar team has some nice extra touches to the animations, the hand slap, the guy tapping the other guy that he can uncover his ears. Nice attention to detail.

Y'know those Wyrmshadow units are just beautiful, and the Janissary has the most believable recoil on his weapon, but the animation of the mortar units is supreme. I have to go with the Aztecs. Great job Utahjazz!

I'm torn between ol' Schickelgruber and Utah's Aztec mortar... Both are first class.

That mortar team is unbelievably funny. It's more like a comedy troupe.:lol:

This is one of those terrible months when everyone deserves a gold medal. What finally decided my vote was the complexity of the run animation of the Aztecs, especially the bobbing of the mortar.

The Aztec mortar isn't just beautifully animated, it's also splendidly designed, in my opinion. It looks like it could really have existed. So it gets my vote, although it seems that it doesn't really need it.
