Tell me if you liked this detailed unit description or tell me if you cant understand it,ill make a simpler one!

The description was good, but I don't anybody would attack this unit at close range if it doesn't deal any damage. It's ability should work when it attacks an foot unit to make it useful.

For an assassin like ability, up the cost to 4 and have it inflict a "petrify" effect. I say petrify, since it could be reused for other units like a basilisk. Petrify would turn the unit into a neutral with +5/+5 armor, no moves, and no attack. This means it becomes more or less an irritating part of the terrain that blocks movement unless you destroy it.

But ARMOR can attack others,so it would be better to waste weak troop or hitting it with unit with dmg 9 or more,before armor hits your strong units:lets say,Ettin(if this is what you were sayin)

Made some chainmail versions,tell if you like more some of this here,or if you like like the first img

I think​ it would be better to try plate armor versions. Most enchanted walking armors are depicted as such, mostly because plate has more form than chain. Besides, if I look at these images the right way, they kinda make me think it's a guy in pajamas with a helmet. But that's probably because I've always​ thought chainmail looks like weird​ pajamas.

K will draw when have time

Made platemail versions

Pretty good ability,but i think it should stay as it is(when attacks or counterattacks,freezes attacked unit(unit is always blacked out).Plus EFFECT CANT BE DISENCHANTED

Why not? Maybe it should even be destroyed by the ability since the unit is nothing but an "enchanted" armor.

Much better pics. And no disenchant is half the reason I said it the way I did, but I also was making it where a player can't just delete it to get it out of the way. Now puss has an interesting idea. Disenchant works as an instakill if applied before the armor attacks.

To prevent moving,neutral should be blacked out, and armor could be +5/+7.Like the idea!

But disenchant isnt a continous spell like tample,etc?Or you meant AFTER attack?

Made an "pertrify" image!

I mean if disenchant is cast on the armor itself, the armor is destroyed

OK,good one! But it shouldnt be destroyed before it finds its wearer.It should be destroyed when binded

Tusk fix

I was actually picturing the wearer being already dead before anything can help them, and disenchant is useless because​ the power of the armor has already been used up. It can kill the armor beforehand, but afterwards you just have a lifeless statue in the way.

Sorry i didnt get it like that
But i think disenchant should affect armor before and during the use.If disenchanted before use it will be killed.If disenchant is used while armor is binded it could result not in kill or "unpertryfiying",but armor drop -5/-6

Is it ready?

What do others think about it?

I think it sounds good.

otherz?

It seems ok. I was hoping to have another opinion though.

Fell free to tell it

I think Enchanted Armor4.png is best image for this unit

Made the best image for this

Might be a little too dark. Darkening it was a good touch, but not quite so much.
