IMO it looks like he is not holding the sword with the hand.

That's because he isn't!

When attacking the clockwork mechanism pulls back the blade and then lets in spring forward again causing piercing damage. ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s actually connected to the armour on his forearm.

Then I'm looking forward to see the animation.

Clockwork Cutthroat.

I prefer his style, so I will redo the clockwork assassin to fit, and also give the clockwork assassin the privilege of two arms.

I think my sprites are getting better! Not great yet, but IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m improving.

[Edit] Bah. I'm going to have to do something about that leg [/edit]

And the clockwork assassin, all in a handy tree format

I like your style, they look good. My only beef is I think asassins woud have shorter, curved blades for slitting throats.

Good point. it was in the back of my mind late in the stage of making them, i was hoping noone would notice

The Greaser is below:

[Edit] White dots? Fixed. [/edit]

[Edit] Yes, yes i do edit everything several times, sometimes i edit my edits [/edit]

Wow! He looks nice. You should make his outfit a bit dirtier to show past greasings.

I'm just glad you can tell what he is

Dirtyness sounds good, and i think i i will add it.

He throws the bottle in battle and as it's full of flammables it explodes. So if you can't tell what it is now, the animation should make it clear.

He uses them to 'repair' the other units as well.

Sweet. I've always wanted more explosion-oriented dwarves, like the ones in the Myth games.

-> The largest Cutthroat thing is very big. That's troll size.
-> I like the Greaser. The straight line of his jacket looks a little odd, fabric doesn't really do that.
-> Oh yes, and I love the Marshal. Can't even find anything wrong with it.

He is huge! I will have to *sigh* redo him.

The greaser is rough anyway so I don't mind that comment

I like the marshal; I will have to redo the solider as well. And the general -maybe- tweaked although thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s not so important.

[Edit] The top size for the cutthroat line should be the level two unit, but if i make the level 3 that size...they would look too similar, any ideas people?

Missed a rather obvious team colour then didn't I.
