Is there any whovians? )

Weeping Angels are creatures from sci-fi series Doctor Who.

When they are not being observed by another being, Weeping Angels can move very quickly and silently. Their phenomenal speed allows them to close distances of metres literally in the blink of an eye. However, when they are being observed they become "quantum-locked", occupying a single position in space and becoming stone. In this state, they are frozen and difficult to destroy. They cannot suppress this reaction. If two Weeping Angels were to look at each other at the same time, they would be trapped in stone form until an outside force moves them apart. To prevent this, they often cover their eyes while moving, which makes them look as though they are weeping. When stalking a victim, Angels will generally take advantage of their speed to avoid being trapped in the quantum lock, moving to an unseen or darkened area before being frozen again. (wiki)

I wish to see them in warcraft so I offer my concept:
N - count of weeping angels.
2N - count of victims.
There is no AI, just players.
Victims' goal: to stay alive in 30 minutes (TARDIS appears and players hear "Molto bene" *joke*).
Angels' goal: to kill them all.
There should be horrible atmosphere: a dark rocky landscape, creepy sounds (also speeches from Doctor Who like "Don't blink.") etc.
No global chat, only in local area.
Realistic cone view.
Key control walking with main control (it's very useful because it adds backwards walking).
Interaction with the environment. For example, victims can lock the doors and angels can turn out the lights (to take advantage).
Angels move using some sort of teleport skill with a short cooldown (probably 1.5-2 secs).

I can make quantum-lock mechanics, victory conditions etc (all of scripts), but I don't think that my terrain is pretty good and I don't have weeping angel 3d model. So I need your help.

I am sorry for bad english.

So basically you'd have a strobe light effect to allow both players to move around?

Sure, but an angel can see all around. Of course, this doesn't regane the rules. If angel sees an angel, the second one becomes a stone. If they look at each other then they both become locked. An angel has a default warcraft sight, otherwise that would be too difficult.
