Hi!
Here is a hobbit farmer with a flail - which can be quite effective as a weapon :) . The actual flail was a bit tricky to animate (with pov-ray, and the way the unit is built), but I think I like the way it turned out (I may have had a few good guesses on the way :D). Enjoy :)

Here are the files:
Hobbit Flailman

Attached are some previews of the animations and civilopedia.

this guy is cool :D I like him :) (its also nice to see someone just giving the Hobbits more units!)
 
I really like all these new hobbits. The flail animation is IMO really good and realistic.
 
Great unit again. I'm sure you I mentioned I'm using these for my mod as well. They're too good to pass up and I can finally get rid of these ugly resized units I have.

awesome! but i dont know if i want to download hobbits, doesnt seem complete without a hobbit leaderhead. If someone made one,then i wouldnt have posted this reply...
Then I suppose you didn't post that reply, as Drift made a LH a year ago. :D
BTW, if you click "User CP" at the top of the page you can add a signature, no need to post quotes like that; especially as you don't do it correct.
@aaglo: :thumbsup:
 
How DID you do that flail animation? It's incredibly realistic!

:goodjob:
 
Once again, another masterpiece of unit making. :)
 
That flail animation is amazing!!! This is one tough mini-farmer!
 
That's awesome Aaglo :eek: .
Thanks very much, these units really represent The Shire well. :)
