Spinning Tree Missiles

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
If you ever wanted to throw a tree at someone here's your chance...
In combination you can use Treant Protector's boulder missile and sing along "Sticks and stones may break my bones" :D (David Guetta - Titanium ft. Sia)
I imagined this for a long time and I decided to make my "dream" come true


Credits: long ago General Frank helped with the model.

Quite simple, but some people might find some niche use for it.
It currently looks like this:

Do you think it's enough? Take a look at the glaive thrower missile for instance. You could make a death effect like that, but in bigger scale, more impact, and leaves spreading around when it hits the target. (The glaive thrower missile has a Ribbon Blur too. Adding that to your spinning trees would raise their quality a lot)

Hahaha the Mountain Giants will love this, tossing trees they just unrooted instead of using it to clobber someone. Well anyway nice work in there 👍.
