I dunno noffin about Meso culture and stuff.. but shouldn`t he hold the stick thingy higher towards the middle? Just a little bit, 5 inches (real scale ;))? I don`t think he has good wrist balance with his current grip, but then again, like I said, I dunno much about their fighting styles and whatnot.

It would be a natural holding postion if he was using both hands.. my 2 cents, I could be totally wrong here.

Unless the lower part weighs more than normal, so it balances it out.
 
The Tlo... Tlipi... The sear/halberd thing is supposed to be the height of a man, and as the Mexica were of a fairly stocky build, only 5'7", i'd say it's not unreasonable for him to hold it that far back, to get maximum reach with the Tlibble-wibble-whatchacall it.

Plus it looks cool.
 
Great unit makers? Not yet I don't think. And yes, he's finally here, thank god! I just used the pallette rom my Atlatl, which was taken from one of the Incan units on the forum, by Utah I think.

Tepoztopilli, that's what it's called :lol:
 
Excellent, excellent!! :goodjob:
I'm so glad you finished this unit! If you're not a great unit maker now, you are certainly getting there quickly!
 
Another awesome unit, Quinzy! He looks great.

Modest, Modest :p. Seriously, you're an excellent unit maker, Quinzy!
 
Thank you all so very much! It really means alot to me guys :)

Sword, I'll be sure to make use of those props, don't worry :D

Red, It's my pleasure making units for the mod! I hope to become "great" in time!
 
Years of training and fighting the Olmec, what do you expect? :D
Thanks Vulcadon!
 
:goodjob:

Very nice swing attack you've got there. Not weak and half hearted at all. :)
 
Thank Cam for the anims, I just very slightly tweaked them! I figured that they'd fit this guy perfectly!
