Hi!

I am creating a custom map which is nearly done now. Thanks to help from people on this site I have got the triggering on it to work. I also have the balance almost done. Now I just need to polish the map up, like fixing the last skins and models. Almost all models have I already found on this site, but there is an important one I can't find.

What I am requesting from you, folks:


I need a Goblin-unit which I call the "Riflerider". It's a Goblin holding a gun/rifle and it's mounted on some kind of beast, like a Wolf or a bear.

What is the unit supposed to do?

I need it as a skirmish unit. It can be used to raid enemy bases, to give mobile protection to the slow lumbering Kodo's and of course they can be used as a main unit in the Goblin army. Melee Goblins and Rifleriders are the backbone of the Goblin army, while Kodos are the mobile troop-production building the Goblins need to defend.

The Goblin Faction and it's dirty looks:

The Goblin Faction on my map are not as "hightech-mechanical" as most of the Goblins models are on this site. It's a more raw and brutal Goblin race and I imagine this unit to be kinda wild as well. A Goblin holding a black-gunpowder-type-of-technology rifle and riding a captured and angry animal.

At last

I would be very glad if someone has the time to make this model for me.
Feel free to make the unit as you imagine it, so you feel that it's a fun model to create.

If you want to know more about my map or if you want a screenshot from goblins on my map just ask

Peace!

Lol what an amusing name, rifle rider, riding a rifle... The problem with your request is that for a goblin to be armed with a gun on a mounted creature would be extremely difficulty because there is no such anims to base it upon, it would require custom anims which only a rare few have the knowledge to create.

Its a good idea and i´d be glad to help seeing as i hate techy goblins and i see somewhat of a krootox unit blend here.. heh, i´ll think about it but i ain´t promising anything, depends wether or not i feel like taking a break from my current work.
I do have a Goblin Wolf Rider but the goblin throws spears though.

I was a bit afraid that my request model was to hard to make. I have to make my request more simple:

I need a fast goblin that shoots.



Feel free to create it the way you or anyone on this site imagine it :)


Ps. Can I have a look at the Wolf Rider Goblin?

The Goblins do not weld the spear, its when they attack that they pick up the spear on there back and throw, i made it like that because there right hand is equipped with a shield while the other has to be holding on to the wolf.
Oh yeah there are two types of goblins there, you see a lot of them with a hood and one with a mohawk.
