[georgestow]

Epic! These are absoluteley amazing!

 

[Kyriakos]

WTH is the byzantine mammoth rider?!

Good job

I have been eagerly waiting for these, no disappointment, they are going to be put to good use, thanks!

[embryodead]

WTH is the byzantine mammoth rider?!

He's been blinded and relegated to a monastery.

Plot

 

[MeteorPunch]

Those are so cool - thanks!

 

[KingArthur]

My inner kid thinks these are spectacularly awesome! Thanks Plot.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Oh my God. These are just awesome.

 

[WildWeazel]

Yay, they're here! The mammoth animations are impressively realistic. Nasty fall for those riders
The swords look kind of silly up there hacking at the mammoth's head. I'm having a hard time visualizing how that will look in combat against a foot unit. A lance might be more practical.

 

[Plotinus]

Well, they're supposed to be urging the mammoth on rather than attacking in their own right. But it is not easy to make this clear at that scale.

 

[General 666]

Sweet !

Sooooo sweet !

Awesome work there Plotinus!

I also thought of the absurdity of fighting with swords on top of Mammoths, but I suppose you're right, with a beast of that size it doesnt make much difference if the rider has a weapon or not

Still, if you think of doing alternate versions, the Viking could use throwing axes and the Japanese a bow, for instances.

And if you want to do more, the best idea might be upgrades to these, armored mammoths, platforms to hold multiple riders. But I suppose this would not be easy.

I'll definitely use these! Thanks!

Looks good enough, but I dont like your scale. I like all human model in the same scale with Sandris.
Respect for your own elephant death and fight animations - these looks very good.

[Vuldacon]

Excellent Work on All these Mammoths Plotinus... I am sure the Death Roll animation was not an easy task and you accomplished it with Realism... Outstanding

 

[bigdog5994]

perfect Plot

 

[Deth McBones]

Totally awesome!! I love the different flavors! Man, these deserve their own mod...
Truly amazing, Plotinus. You show true brilliance in all of your units.

 

[Takhisis]

I was afraid that perhaps the model I gave you for the tusks wouldn't fit in so well. It's good to see my fears were unfounded.

 

[Mithadan]

!!!!!!!!! Good gracious, that's quite something! I feel like my personal epic mod could use these, somewhere...somehow...
