Not much to say... the pikeman unit made with a model from PoserGamers. All icons included.

Yeah, my first thought when I saw the attack animation is that maybe this guy is the "Pikeman of Looovve". He's got a little bit of a thrust in the hips, but its cool nonetheless... :lol:

Good job, embryodead.

REALLY nice unit, but the hips are a bit funny as so many has said. Not worth to change anything though, but he should have have moved his "upper body" along... Do not think of it though, do another unit instead... Like the very same man with different weapons: crossbow for instance - would that be too much of a hazzle?

And it is also very nice to include the pedia icons... Takes time finding a decent picture if they are not included.

There are just too many good units out there, don't know where to put them all... a bit of a headache... And I just HAVE to use them... no time to play - just keep adding units...

Thats because its the first time I used Inverse Kinematics (a feature of Poser that allows to move figure's hip while having his feet stick to the ground)... guess I will be more cautious when using it again...

I like the way he attacks, it's cool, kinda cartoonish.

Maybe you can (next time, as Risbinroch said) make him move his head also. If he moves his head as much as the hips it would look better. I think. And I still don't know anything about poser. :)

The amount of sexual comments can never be unhealthy!

BTW, that's a looong pokin' pole. I'll call him (in the game) "Flagpole-Flanagan" ;)

Cool Unit! Looks like he really knows how to thrust that pike. :lol:

@aaglo - I prefer 'Claude the Rod' :D

I've been waiting awhile for this guy! He looks great, and the attack really doesn't look too bad, especially when viewed from other directions. :goodjob:

D'you suppose ya could also make a crossbowman with this model, as Risbinroch suggested? It'd be great if you could.

Hey, maybe you could make a version with a ringmail and red "thing" with british lion design, like Bravehearth pikes.

Will be very cool for who use extensive tech trees, will serve like an upgrade.

BTW excellent work.

thx. not sure if can i make that british red thing, but i'm making a varation with chainmail and a halberd.

Sorry for the "thing"... But "t-shirt" or blouse will be worst.

Anyway, i'm glad to know that you will make.
Now i will have problems to put all these pikes (your two more the cossacks one) to the british...

What a trouble... Hahaha.
