Ha, so much for "tomorrow"... Man that took me too long. Sorry. :<

Well, what are the specifics? I had a concept in my mind for a female spider-witch of some sort. I thought I'd let you know in case that fits your criteria.

Let's get one thing straight; you put a Troll on a Spider & I will almost certainly use it. : ) There just isn't anything even remotely like that lying around for me to be picky-&-choosey. xD
That being said, I have written up some stuff...
[insert Pastebin stuff]
Ha! Turns out I had nothing written up. Hilarious; I fool even myself. Well then.
Welp, looks like I'll just have to write it from scratch...

JUNGLE TROLL - T2 Offensive/Disruptive Caster - "Hexxer"

The original idea is simply "Troll cavalry-caster", i.e. "Mounted Troll Wizard". I just thought it'd be cool to see a cavalry-caster. Upon reflection (& with raptors & bats already taken), I decided upon insects... And what better insect than a creepy jungle spider?
Further reflection revealed the need for an anti-caster <span style="font-size: 9px">(like the Destroyer, Faerie Dragon, Spellbreaker, etc)</span>, as well as a generally 'offensive' caster to counterpoint the existing "Potion Doc"s 'supportive' nature <span style="font-size: 9px">(like Sorceress to Priest, Witch Doctor to Shaman, Banshee to Necromancer, etc)</span>.
With some luck, I happened upon the "Hexxer" concept; an gnarled, wicked Troll priestess riding a creepy jungle spider, wielding spider-themed spirit-powered anti-magicks. " 'Welcome to my parlor' said the spider to the fly" and all that.
Later, in looking at the Techtree, I realized my distaste for the name "Potion Doc", and with AnemicRoyalty's excellent model being ideal as she is, I realized I could instead switch genders & have the support caster be a girl; a "Hedge Witch" if you will (much better name/concept IMO).
However, since that's the model I was going to use as the spider's mount... I needed a new one. This means the Hexxer became a guy (*sigh*. Kinda like the role-reversal of a non-nurturing woman-caster, but oh well). I eventually decided upon -Grendel's stellar Troll Conjurer model as a fitting mount for the nasty jungle Spider.

Hopefully that gives some insight into the process. The important bits are:
- Male Troll (preferably); creepy, wizened, malicious
- Jungle Spider; creepy, jungle-y, big, DIFFERENT FROM REGULAR WC3 SPIDERS somehow... Big head mostly
- Dark Magicks
- Some kinda seat?
- Some kinda mage-weapon?
And really the most important bit is the spider: Like I said, I already (basically) have a good Rider, and the rest is relatively simple. But a good, creepy Jungle Spider that looks/acts different from the in-game ones... Haven't seen that anywhere,
On that note:
[table]
Theme[c]A nefarious shaman of dark spirit magicks, mounted on the back of a creepy jungle spider. Fickle and crafty, the Hexxers power through swampy landscapes on eight surprisingly quick legs, hunting down enemy mages and generally creeping people out. They can utilize their mount's natural toxins to Mind Poison enemy mages, draining their mana, as well as the poison's reparative effects to Disrupt the buffs of chains of target units. Master Hexxer's can even place a Null Ward, completely disabling spell-casting in an area.[r]
Role[c]This is a Frozen-Throne-style response to mass-casters; basically just the Jungle Trolls "anti-caster" unit, who is himself a caster. He's not got a strong attack, but being mounted he's not as slow as other casters.
