.. I`m not going to do the "its a bird, its a plane!" thing here..

Its great, man, very cool

 

[Quinzy]

Aww, you should have.

Thanks dude! Means alot to me

 

[Stormrage]

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.

its been ages since you previewed him and now he finally is out. Good to see you finally make you grand entrance into greatness as one of the great unit makers Quinzy. Wish I could have helped with the pallettes more...

 

[Quinzy]

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.

 

[Quinzy]

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

Whats next for Mr. Q?

 

[Quinzy]

I was thinking of a few units for the Maya perhaps. We'll see.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

The Born of Fire project would owe you much...(Remember to use the props I gave you if you make mayan stuff wink wink )

Cool unit Quinzy. Great for a colonial America mod. Surround him with a couple Conquistador units and let the fight begin!

 

[RedAlert]

Excellent, excellent!!
I'm so glad you finished this unit! If you're not a great unit maker now, you are certainly getting there quickly!

 

[CC-2224]

Another awesome unit, Quinzy! He looks great.

Great unit makers? Not yet I don't think.

Modest, Modest . Seriously, you're an excellent unit maker, Quinzy!

 

[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

Red, It's my pleasure making units for the mod! I hope to become "great" in time!

A novel Huastic unit Quinzy ... he is certainly Fast with his weapon.

 

[Quinzy]

Years of training and fighting the Olmec, what do you expect?
Thanks Vulcadon!

 

[Bluemofia]

Very nice swing attack you've got there. Not weak and half hearted at all.

 

[Quinzy]

Thank Cam for the anims, I just very slightly tweaked them! I figured that they'd fit this guy perfectly!

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

Now.. where have I seen this guy b4... hmmmm...

really smooth anims, though

 

[Quinzy]

Thanks W.i.n.t.e.r.
