Very impressive, the_Farseer; reminds me of the red wasps that plague the area where I live in the US.

...Those wasps of yours are horrifying if they're anything like this.

The wasps are similar, and at times they are to be feared. Their sting leaves a marker in your system which can take up to a year to wear out. Once you are thus marked, every wasp will know you as an enemy, and will gleefully sting you at any opportunity.

This is like the Mandalorians; mess with one, and you mess with them all. If you become an enemy to the Mandalorian people, then there is no safe place where you can hide. I have had red wasps throw themselves at my screen door in their zeal to try to get me.

...That whole marker bit...That's (in addition to being stung when young) is why I generally dislike these little flying demons with "arse-daggers" (as one image put it).

...That thing looks rather...evil. I'd say sinister, but it passed sinister up a long time ago.

The teamcolors are nice and tastefully placed, more accents than anything. Seen a few games where most of the unit was covered by the teamcolor (made worse by neon -ish colors).

Guessing by the animations, will this normally hover? If so, will it land as part of the idle/attack animations?

Thank you! Yes the basilisk will primarily be airborne but it will have land-based animations and abilities as well.

So, is this going to fulfill a sort of elite anti-anything-that-doesn't-stop-it kinda role?

When I first saw the new model, I thought the old one was better but these animations have totally won me over, they seem so natural and threatening. Genius!

Description

Showing off the early idle animations of the Basilisk. I want to make sure I'm making it feel sufficiently organic, with a touch of mechanical. I need the Basilisk to have a kind of "personality" in a way, since they were semi-sentient. Feedback welcome.
