Chronosquad

For #29 modelling contest, but I think I'm late, so maybe not.
Anyway, enjoy.

So the concept here is, why is it that you can only travel back in time with magic? These guys here aim to fix that! A goblin and gnome (although its in dwarf category cause gnome doesn't exist), working together, created a modular time travelling machine, combining the efficiency and safety of gnome tech and the innovative and dangerous prowess of the goblin tech, gave birth to this machine.
It requires 2 person to operate it because otherwise it won't be mobile. And a non-mobile time machine would most likely end up with a single use, requiring you to rebuild it each time. So yeah, have fun or anything.

The polycounts aren't regulated cause I took it upon myself as a challenge to make a believable steampunk mechanisms, with boiler, engines and what not.

Remember folks: You can view in 3D!

Additions in the future:
More stands
A stand victory robot dance, ohh.
More spell animation.
Maybe split death anim into death and dissipate.
Any bugs, if any.(probably priority, or maybe stand victory is the priority)

For now, its a submission. I may or may not add them, it depends.
Now, to look for the add tags part that tells me to add bob marley....

And sorry to say, this model ain't a original idea.
This inspired me.

Moderation Approved Looks great and has a lot of great animations. Some pretty amazing details, given that this is wc3. If I had to find one thing that is wrong with it, it is that the attack animations is a bit over the top. Not that it should be...

well definitely unusual :xxd: although i don't get the death anim..
and also i feel that the model is missing many other useful anims.. sure, it might be based on something, but from the war3 point of view, it still needs a lot
Yeah, I agree about it missing animations. For now its a sorta usable version for the contest, and when I'm free I'll try to add more animations.

And well, I hoped that the death animation would seem like the goblin's gonna travel back in time to prevent it, but if you had to point it out I suppose I failed to convey what I wanted to.

And if you cross reference the death and spell anim, the time travel works by the putting their hands together, which triggers the time travel mechanism underneath the boiler to start to turn and activate.

Oh doodley doo.

I gotta say, you are pushing the envelope in terms of 'creativity' for this one; such a crazy pairing, with crazy hair, and crazy tech. Neato.

"Chronosquad" is a decent name.

Animations are really cool & they seem to have a great sense of teamwork.

I worry about how detailed all the tech is, but hey, maybe it's a Hero.

Good luck on the Contest!
