Horde Mana Bomb ICBM

Well, this one was a crazy idea about war scalation at world of warcraft with the use of mass destruction weapons, a perfect example would be the elfic mana bombs, being more specific the one droped on Theramore.

I'm dissapointed by the way it was droped, soo lame. Then i realized that since orcs like "big" weapons and goblins like rocket tech, a lot; why couldn't they amalgamate their tech along blood elfs to create the superior weapon for the Horde:

Also i added some assets for people with the skills to use them, ahmm a missile model with some cinematic style animations and also i added the missile fall and the magic explosion which is suppost to emulate a termonuclear explosion.

These look amazing and will be epic for cinematic use.

However, I suggest adding a projectile version that can be properly implemented as a projectile for attack animation. You can use the Morph animation from the missile model for "Birth", Stand Alternate for "Stand", and the explosion model as "Death".

need an alliance mana bomb to tip the scale, unless using the concept of "captured"
Sadly only superweapon deployed at wow by alliance were jaina elementals, ecologic crap and so, alliance are the goody guys, that kind of mediocre plot. However since mana bombs seems to be an universal concept which could be easly recreated by the alliance cause they have skilled mages too, ill make one for the alliance with dwarf and gnome style, later.

That's going to need another launcher and some time to make, ill work on that later.

welp, i just read the wow lore and aparently the alliance created the mana bombs since the war against the scourge, just wait some time, ill take my time to make the model.
welp i have to take back my word, so alliance did dealing with superweapon but hey isn't warcraft 3 lore and beyond been centering around superweapon

Wow, nice! Do you have this model with modern textures?
Ahmm you could reskin everything, it was suppost to be a modern one, however it wouldnt fit at hive so i switched the theme.


-You are allowed to reskin the model by me.
-You are allowed to reshape model's vertexs by me.
-You are allowed to use bones and animations by me.
-You have to add a a reference to my work if ever post some variation of this model acording to authoring rules about modeling in this site.
