Mechagnome Love Thread šŸ„°

Thank you, my Dark Iron friend! It is empowering to have our allies tell us such. We get a great deal of hate for absolutely the wrong reasons.

Further, Iā€™d like to say that Iā€™ve enjoyed immensely my adventures in dungeons with most every Dark Iron Iā€™ve met. All of you have a certain passionateā€¦ Flame about you. :sunglasses:

Too many judge without knowing who a person or people are. Iā€™m glad we mechagnomes and our fellow Kulā€™tirans and void elves can fit your personality and can relate to.

I cannot wait to meet your mechagnome, and look forward to it!

My Mechagnome judges me every time I log in. She stares at me with those headlight eyes, giving me the silent treatment. I promise I will level you for that beautiful heritage armour eventually, I swear it!

Iā€™m just burnt out on levelling at the moment.

ā€œBut you just finished levelling three new Night Elves!ā€

Iā€¦ uhā€¦

Ill be honest I dont get all the hate with Mechagnomes.
The whole allied race thing was supposed to be Subraces initially, the only odd one out are Vulpera

It gives me my warhammer 40k grimdark vibe with a bit of humor 10/10 in my book.

I was really hoping for Gilgoblin paired with Mechagnomes tbh. Love these guys from Nazjatar.

This is my model edit demonstrating what they probably would have looked like with model updates-(minus the tentacle hair).

Eyes still need a bit of work here.

That said. Both would have been nice.

Gilgoblin would have been awesome.

Wonderous!

I agree. I wish weā€™d had many more ARā€™s.

Slots as Iā€™ve said is the problem. Many people say pff these races should just be a custom option, but I find it more ideal if blizzard can put out subraces as actual races with the addition of new ones too.

My friend posted this earlier in the thread, yes. Mergoblins would be awesome. Maybe a bit impractical cause of the lack of land walking legs, but still adorable. I will be sharing the rest once part 1 of my project is done.

On second thought i prefer legs. Not the same.

Indubitably! The situation would improve vastly if it wasnā€™t ā€œwill my race be added and who is it up againstā€ but rather ā€œwhen will it be addedā€.

I cannot wait to see the fruits of your labor!

These guys are the Mechagnomes of the legion.

Fun fact. Sicco was originally going to be one of the mage tower bosses.

Moarg came off as less techy in legion which was a shame.

Thats amazing artwork!

That concept art for Gilgoblins is amazing!

I think it would be conceptually weird for them to say be out and about in the middle of a desert say compared to any other class we currently have but they sure look cool.

Thank you! Perhaps all they need is a bit of armor like this. These are all transformation for a custom class I am making that functions in a similar way to druid although they arenā€™t quite the same thing. Iā€™ll be sharing the others once this project is done. The one you see here is an early prototype of the tank transformation before I add more detail to it.

Thanks, now I have something to fear in the waters.

My friend. There has always been something to fear in the waters.

Speaking of art. Iā€™m going to ask again. Are there any artists among us that could create fan art of Rosie? I would of course provide remuneration for that work. Please let me know.

I can do both 3D art and 2D art. Although I am less adept at the 2D aspect of art the art that you see in the picture before is something I could definitely do. Are you in the Mechagnome discord?

Once I am finished with this project which I hope to by done by april 10th, Iā€™d be up for it depending on what exactly it is you have in mind.
