Mechagnome Love Thread 🥰

This thread is a nice fresh break from all the “Mechagnomes were a waste of an allied race slot” “Alliance got screwed over” and (Insert mechagnome insult here) thread.

Amazing. A Gnome Demon Hunter. I would very much like to test the parameters of your destructive capabilities! Do you have a minute?

EDIT: Seriously neat mog!

Gnomest-sargeras · February 2, 2020, 7:10am

Thank you! Gnomes are capable of doing anything they put their mind too. To get a full sense of my capabilities see this video:

Since the one you see here is merely a reflection of this. I’ll be making more of these as time goes by.

Coaxial-draenor · February 2, 2020, 7:40am

A most impressive armament! I applaud your gnomish ingenuity! Clearly we should not underestimate the Goblins capabilities for destructive ordnance deployment as well.

Impressive displays, I look forward to your next demonstration!

Here is a sneak peak of the next project I am working on. This one is aquatic/nautical themed. These skins are for a custom class similar to druids, but aquatic in nature. These are the ones for goblin, in progress, but I might be making a number of these for a few other races as well.

Battletech reporting in!

That’s actually pretty rad actually, did you create that yourself!?? It really looks amazing even for a idea i was pretty skeptical about. Blizz could hire you haha as their new class design dev!

It uses a bunch of preexisting wow assets, but I did create many aspects of it from scratch and all of the model/texture editing was done myself. I also edited the video itself. The voice acting itself was done by my friend bipzi and the goblin voice was by Buddy Blastwitz. A few examples of stuff I did from scratch:

The Lightsaber Glaives: Minus the gears, the shape I created mostly from scratch. A few sc2 textures were used however. The animating and rigging was also done myself for that.
The goblin sawblade shape was completely from scratch minus the spinning chain.
The shape of the shoulder on the fel goblin is also done from scratch, but it uses the felsteel annihilator texture.
The visor on the gnome was completely from scratch in terms of shape.
Belt the gnome uses. Also done from scratch. This time the texture is included.
The mechanical arms on both are also rigged from scratch minus that they are being attached to the goblin and gnome rigs.

As for the class itself. I did that mostly for fun. Its not meant to be a pitch to blizzard for a class that should happen, but I thought it would be cool to see come to life. There is many class variations that exist in lore that may be cool in themself, but for practical reasons aren’t playable.

Its also worth nothing that even with a lot of the preexisting assets, it took a lot of work to mod it to that extent.

Query: What do you mean?

Gnomest-sargeras · February 2, 2020, 1:43pm

By the way. I created a Mechagnome discord. A nice place for Mechagnome lovers to socialize and chat alike. Mechisto. Perhaps you could link this in the thread.

Response: Link requested approved
Agenda: Unite Mechagnomes. Acquire Gnomes for subjugation

Gnomest-sargeras · February 2, 2020, 3:43pm

Thank you! It will probably take some time for it grow, but it will be fun meeting people.

Ivalesse-moon-guard · February 2, 2020, 3:44pm

Disgusting.

Sela-draenor · February 2, 2020, 4:33pm

Sister the voices in your head are showing. Return to the rift and your instructor will help you to silence them.

Coaxial-draenor · February 2, 2020, 4:41pm

Oh uh… Actaully brother, I think… I think perhaps it is my auditory translation system that is to blame. Yes. Thats what it is. Nothing is wrong, my mistake.

Wait did Mechisto say subjugation?!

Fouille-moon-guard · February 2, 2020, 5:08pm

Statement: Yes, my fellow unit. We shall reclaim Azeroth as the true protectors and caretakers of the Titan spirit.
Assessment: To do that, we need to welcome our dear, Gnomish brothers and sisters into our fold.

Khosumi-illidan · February 2, 2020, 5:25pm

So uh. What is the point of that post?

Sela-draenor · February 2, 2020, 5:28pm

Clearly shes experiencing the whispers from the Void. We’ll get her back to the Rift and set her right.

I’m sure shes not normally a dickweed useless pill. That would be ridiculous and no one would ever want to be that way. I’m sure she wont bother you again.

Gnomest-sargeras · February 2, 2020, 5:34pm

Fel and void magics tend to make people a little insane. Controlling it can come difficult. I totally understand!

Silverleigh-drakthul · February 2, 2020, 6:11pm

The cutey i saw was mechanical from head to two.

Are there different types?
