Here is a unit i have started to create in the last few houre. So far I only have the SW run animation done so itll be a while before its complete. Let me know if I should continue with this unit as I have a few underway at the moment as well (Inca "kings Guard" and Viking Warrior to name a few!).

Good to see someone going for that unit.
One suggestion maybe: The "horn" on the back of the helmet is exaggerated. It could create the illusion that it's two horns on the sides. But I guess this is only a problem in this perspective!

Beside that: Great work!
 
lol. Yeah im just making the unit for the while till ptw comes out!
Just spent past 3 hours doing the S,SE and E run animations. The dog is the hardest part of the animation so bear with it until i can spend more time on it (once all FLCs are made). Thanks guys! :)

In my best British school-girl impression "BUT I WANT IT NOOOOWWWW!!!"

I want the world... I want the whole world... i want to lock it all up in my pocket... it's my bar of chocolate...
 
lol sween.I was up to 4am last night just doing the run animation. Still have 4 direstions to go....then the attack, death and default (should be quicker).fortify will just be default.
 
yeah, i tried to make a shadow for the dog but it aint happening. Most units have a visible shadow (either red or blue) when you open the unit in pain shop pro. However the horsman unit has no visible shadow (the whole background is just pink. So when i tried to do the dog a) i dont know what colour to use as the shadow and b)it looks crap.

Ive just finished the run flc!!!! took me ages! here are more screenshots!

nice looking unit, i'm interested to know however if any one has any knowledge of the spanish using dogs as "terror weapons", it sounds about realistic, however, dogs were used extensivly in the americas before the arrival of the spanish; However horses were unknown to the native americans (having died out several thousand years previously, because of this the indians called them "magic dogs"... Has there been some confusion or did they realy use dogs in that fasion?
