This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
I made a unique model for High/Blood Elf Ballista since the current Reforged unit still uses Glaive Throwers
base model is Neutral Ballista, wheels are from Siege Engine/Steam Tank, Draenei Demolisher, and Neutral Ballista, ballista wings are from Blood Elf Lieutenant retextured with freehand, Silvermoon capstan is from Sir Gregory Edmunson/Sage Truthbearer's plate armor circle retextured with copy-paste from Silvermoon crest and some freehand, front and back plates are from Jennalla Deemspring's pauldrons, beams are from Draenei Seer's Den, bolt arrowhead and tail are from Night Elf Glaive Thrower, other decorative stuff are from High Elf Farm 2
this model features custom animations for the ballista wings, its own projectile, and the Silvermoon capstan when attacking
here's how it looks like in game:
(err, disregard the funny placement of the arrowhead, it's fixed in the .mdx file don't worry; I'll replace the images again when I have time again)
suggested team colors:
any criticisms and/or suggestions are welcome
update:
14/11/21 - forgot to upload portrait, there you go
02/12/21 - added optimizations, footprints, and fixed the capstan disc on Stand Ready (thanks Mr Ogre Man!), also gave her her own projectile (thanks Flinn!)
12/12/21 - reduced the size of bolt arrowhead, also added a no-explosion version of the ballista missile
16/12/21 - added icons (thanks Z1003!)

Nice!
I always wondered on why they didn't have their own siege unit in the Blood Elf Campaign, but they lazy added the Glaive Thrower to the Undead Campaign which honestly I never cared for...
Still regardless nice job and this will be very handy to the High Elf/Blood Elf Armies...<3

I like your passion. It's surely a great work that should be done by Blizzard in release.

This is awesome Work! I'm wondering if you guys plan on adding more High Elf/Blood Elf Stuff in the Future? Like seeing Liabrin, Hawkstrider Mounted Riders, Elven Warlocks, Arcane Golems, Void Elves, and etc.

alright I finally stopped being lazy for now and gave her an update to greatly lower her file size and fixed some things
(it should be way lower than 23mb like around approximately 15mb in-game since the model proper and the portrait uses the same textures)

Approved. Wonderful and very useful model for High/Blood Elves.
As said in the comments an icon would be welcome, however in this case some of the Reforged originals may fit it so it not critical for approval in this case.
