Right, I don't play Eldar but I've had my fair share of eldar executing me. But everytime that happens, I can't help but notice less of "Ouch, I'm getting murdered" and more of a "...That looks so off and not well animated at all. And why is the Scorpion constantly glicthing between high-res and low-res model?" I don't know, what do you guys think? Are you happy with the animations you have? I feel they could've done a bit more with it, somehow.
I like the dire avnegers casual walk by you while shooting down and also the banshees one. Haven't exuctued anyone with the Scorpio or even seen it to comment sorry. Edit: damn auto correct
Well, there is the whole thing with the Banshee's getting stuck in the execution for a couple seconds after it's done, where if they take damage the entire thing is cancelled. Or did they fix that yet?
I think the Scorp is it's camo flashing on and off? At least it looks that way to me. The Banshee animation is still mistimed in some way as @Cat mentioned.
I actually really like the style of each animation. They captured the look of disdain that eldar have for their opponents. That is best represented in the Dire Avenger "Yeah I guess I'll shoot your face off since I'm walking this way anyways" execution. The banshee one is more of an artful decapitation. That being said they are a bit buggy in how the executioner and victim line up. Something to be cleaned up, eventually.
Think that one might be my favorite. It's so Eldar-y to not even bother to look at your victim. Followed closely, of course, by the Force Neck Snap. I like the -ideas- behind these executions and I mean, they're alright, but they really need to line up properly and get some variety down the road.
The warlock one I really like. But I still think it would look a little better if it was just a really raunchy drawn out psychic neck twist and body discard. The worst execute animation award has got to go to scorpions though. What is it? A light slash and a quick press on the collar bone? LAME. I made up an alternative scorpion execute animation with my terrible drawing skills. Here's the gallery (best viewed as a slideshow): http://imgur.com/a/5Hrbp
Alas, not yet, this is the only flaw in their animations - the rest is fine, graceful and proper to me
My favourite is the knife execution. It's cool and eldar-ish. The scorpions have the worst one...or the most boring one, at least :<
