Goblin Assault Tank 'Gazlowe'

The tank's manual:
"The heavy, medium-sized battle tank of the Goblins can easily take out weak units in one blow. Also, a heavy plating of a custom made alloy has been assigned to the tank design to insure the best protection against melee, ranged and magic. Two tanks with a multi-purpose fuel has been fitted to the end each thread. Additionally, the tank's turret can be upgraded with two rocket pods afterwards to make it also deadly against air units."

Features:
- Animated tracks and fitted foot print tracks
- Fitted effects and smoke
- Simple but effective design

The mesh of the tank has been made in Mildshape3D and has been assigned to the steamengine's bone structure, so it uses nearly the same animations as the steamengine (You'll be rather base the unit off the steamengine in Object editor.)

Null made a wonderful screenshot icon for it.
