Not entirely sure what the problem is

So you gave him an animation set — he casts spells fine, but on the ranged attack he goes into a T-pose

You need to find his animset. If it's an Angel and not an Archangel/Seraph, the animset is located in _(AnimSet)\Creatures\Haven\Angel-adv.(AnimSet).xdb

Open the animset and you'll see the animations recorded in it

<AnimSet ObjectRecordID="169">

You need to add a rangeattack entry. If the Angel will be both a unit and a hero, it's better to add it — copy an attack or any other animation and rename it. You can copy it from the Archangel, should work

Using the same principle you can add cast, buff, and special ability animations

Thanks, the attack animation works now (he stabs the air)). I had done it that way before, but it didn't work — I must have messed something up somewhere.
