Unit Concept Development/Preview: African Pikeman

[Kal-el]

Looks good. I think he carries it with two hands not because it is so heavy, but because it is rather cumbersome to wield only one handed. He should theoretically be able to spin it, that doesn't mean he has to do it though.

HI Kal-El....

Dom Pedro has made your Knight of Anubis, and your Zebra Raider. He's currently working on making the African Spearman, Warrior and Musketman. Sorry you have to go to Boot Camp and put up with a mean drill sargeant, not to mention do hundreds of push ups and set-ups and run many miles, and get up at the crack of dawn. . I know I couldn't do it. Your a real Superman.

 

[Kal-el]

the way I look at it I will be in the best shape of my life, or die trying.

goodbye beer belly, hello six pack. when I am done I will be one sexy beast. groucho

 

[Dom Pedro II]

I hope your reasons are better than just that... if you wanted to get in shape, you should just kill somebody and go to prison.

 

[Dease]

I hope your reasons are better than just that... if you wanted to get in shape, you should just kill somebody and go to prison.

But then you couldn't reap the rewards groucho

EDIT: on topic I've been slacking for the past few days so no animations have been done!

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Okay, then maybe grand theft auto

 

[Kal-el]

yeah, I don't want to be that kind of sexy beast.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

It's better than being DEAD! In the Army you're liable to get KILLED! I had a cousin who joined the Army once... he was walking through the mess hall, they'd just mopped the floor, he slipped and cracked his skull open. Dead!

 

[Kal-el]

well, I'm joining the Navy, so that's not liable to happen to me.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

well, I'm joining the Navy, so that's not liable to happen to me.

Yeah... but then they'll have you swab the poop deck... you know what goes on there, don't you? Midget wrestling.

And this is all of course very much like Africans with long pikes...

 

[Kal-el]

they don't call it the poop deck for nothin', yuck!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Are you ready to be called lots of names like Maggot or Worm? Part of the training is to destroy people's self-image and inviduality.

 

[Kal-el]

I'm actually looking forward to it. My ego could use a good bashing.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

The Drill Sargeant: Your drawings suck boy! Is that a tear I see? 5000 Pushups mag-it!

Kal-El: Thats it, your getting it now(Rips off shirt reveiling a very familiar red and blue outfit)

 

[Kal-el]

we should really get this thread back on topic. (I seem to be derailing a lot of threads lately. what are they going to do, ban me for three months!?!?! )

 

[Dease]

we should really get this thread back on topic. (I seem to be derailing a lot of threads lately...)

It was good for comic relief

Just an update, I've gotten the run finished (or so I think ), here it is -

comments? suggestions?

EDIT: Ignore the white splotches

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Is he civ sized? He looks alittle big.

 

[Dease]

nope not civsized at all, attched is a pic of him civsized, looses a lot of detail but could be worse

 

[Kal-el]

think about making the shaft of the pike just a bit thinner.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

He doesn't have to. Think about it...if Africans developed Pikes on their own, it wouldn't neccessarily look the same as a European Pike.
