Faster than a worg rider
Armed with a spear to gain advantage against cavalry
Less strong than a worg rider and less costy (i'd say 3 turns)
it might be a good unit for exploring and defend against cavalry

Added a shoulder pad

Barding variant

Stats:

Cost: 3
HP: 20
Attack: 8
Range: 1
Armor: 2

Any suggestion?

This topic shows exactly why i got inactive.

@Alexander82 if theres no answer it normally means they arent interested.


Patroid

Why have you become inactive?
Btw i posted it on august, so i think someone lost it

Daniel, what you think about that unit?

my first thought: i never heard of a raptor rider in any fantasy story, or is it a fictional character you came up with?

I took the idea from the golden axe game. Also in d&d there are dinosaurs as monsters and there are races who use them ad mounts

i have answered on the griphon rider thread too, that they are ok but first we need the common creatures in dnd.

ok, like a beholder?

Daniel, what about that? Orcs really needs so badly a fast unit to gain some tcs at the start of the game

image corrected

This should become the fast cavalry of the Orcs with a taste of the lancer with the spear! I somewhat like this idea but I never knew Raptors existed back then.

In d&d settings dinosaurs are in

Also we might just consider them a monster like some sort of pseudodragon

Oh my bad

Btw, do you like the images?

Yes I do!

image suggestions:
- dragon looks too unreal - i mean like a cartoon figure (and not because of the coloring but the shape)
- i dislike the totally vertical and totally horizontal weapons, they look not fit in hands good (only in special cases, like when the creature uses it as a "rod", like the staff of magicians, so that looks "real" holding that way - but any creature in "action" (marching, attacking...) is not likely to hold it in that perfect angle.

but this is only me

What part of the dragon? Head or something else?

About the weapon i made it this way to avoid going over 32 height, but i don't mind make it more diagonal.

ok, never make compromises because of the 32px (non existent:)) limit, go 64!

dragon: the head, the pose, almost all things.

What about this stance?

good! but neither the dragon or the orc should look into "camera".
here the dragon is nice!

But the orc look where any other orc does xD

How's that?

That's Awesome!
