[Melee] Suggestions

[sniper_zero]

I'm making a Blood Elf custom race and after comparing it with the other races, I see that the other races all have at least two types of summonable units. So I'm planning on giving my Blood Elves two summonable units as well, with the Phoenix being one of them a given. What do you suggest the other one to be?

It depends on the caster. If somehow the caster is a water caster or something then make his summoned units water type or something like that.

Make arcane elementals! the Blood Elves have lots and lots of arcanists, and there should be a few good arcane elemental models out here.

No, Blood Elves casting water spells would just feel out of character for them. I'm pretty sure they've already chosen to specialize in fire spells.

Isn't arcane usually purple in color? But, yeah other than that something arcane seems to be the only other thing they can summon. I could give them something related to fire again but why would I when they already have a phoenix?

the arcane elementals could be given a purple tint. Making fire elementals wouldn't be the best choice with the Phoenix around.

I've seen a Blood Elemental (red Water Elemental, not just retinted) model.

Maybe an arcane golem?

Oh, I'm using that as a siege unit. it looks better suited that way. I guess I'll tint a suitable elemental model purple then. Thanks!
