You can do whatever you want, but I'd recommend some green or the Xel'naga green/blue color (Aquamarine TC Zeratul has in co-op) effects to fit the theme and for the look of the abilities, well the blink could just look like blink with some impact explosion or smoke when dealing damage + standart sun effect. And for the other one, maybe some glaze to symbolize the immobilization + when I thought about this ability I used Brightwing's "Emerald Wind" heroic ability from heroes of the storm, just fatster.

Good luck with making those abilities, since I usually imagine an ability, but I'm not really good in making them work in game.

It seems like a cool map and Alrasz seems to fit there quite nicely as he has the blink and the pushback :)

Thank you :)

With the Nerazim Harbinger now released, only 5 units remain to finish the Nerazim unit skin set. Nerazim Adept and Nullifier by Hammer 107 and Nerazim High Templar by Cacho56 fit this set really well, so I feel no need to do my own versions.

All skins so far:

Units tracker (Green tinted ones are completed):

Just a little spoiler: I'm planing to do Female Zeratai Dark Templar as the DT skin and oracle will have Male portrait, since  intend to do all Protoss units with opposite gender (Of course for some those are only portraits and I won't do robotic units xD), it will be two kills with one shot.

However it may now take some time to make more skins or any models, since my computer just kinda broke few days ago, the Harbinger was the last model I did before that, but I didn't do the portrait yet. My battery is completely gone and I had to reinstall my computer. Now it works fine and I hope it won't break totally. So I'll now have to install SC2 Again and Blender and all the Graphics software and all the other stuff, so it will take me some time before I will post something again.

And now you trust Editor Data ? xD But not with shadow archon ? I'm pretty sure they can use both Nullifier and Manipulator just like purifiers have Conservator and Energizer.

In reply to Zarxiel93:

I didn't say anything about Dark Archon not being Nerazim, I just said Tal'darim could easily merge Dark Archons as well and Nerazim could find a new Archon, so could Aiur Protoss ...

There is no reason for a single faction to use multiple version of a single unit type. Aiur Protoss use both Colossi and Reavers, same with Scouts and Phoenixes. And as far as I remember on Glacius there was only Fenix and schematics for Sentinels and those were also on Cybros so ... For the style of Glacius, well it was an Aiur Protoss facility after all, that's why it looks more Aiur Protoss.

And if you are refering to this image, that's just as fanmade as my shadow Archon, or even less, since there is no official mention of "Cybros Purifiers" or "Glacius Purifiers", there are just "Purifiers". And if I really wanted to dig deep, then there should be no Instigators on Cybros, since the Stalkers are Nerazim technology invented much later after Cybros was sealed.

For the multiple units of same type for each faction ... look at our armies. If you count each country as a faction, there are usually multiple types of Fighters, Tanks, Ships and Infantry. It actually makes sense as there is always a use for more specialized versions of units. For example if you want to defend you use Conservator and if you want to be agressive you use Energizer. Same could be with Nullifier and Manipulator having different uses. I'm only using the Nullifier since it is already made by Hammer, but I could as easily do the Manipulator. And for the Archons read the "development" part of this.

In reply to Zarxiel93:

There are not 2 kinds of them IMO. And I said that I used the Nullifier because I'm lazy and it's already done, so go blame Hammer not me, also Scout for example is used by all 4 factions (For Nerazim comics only or something like that). So there is no reason why Nullifier Couldn't be used by Nerazim as well as Aiur protoss.

And most importantly, since when do I make Lore/Data accurate models/units only ? Before the Shadow Archon, you had no problem with Trident, Chronos, Tosh's Goons Stuff and everything else. What changed ? Did the Archon trigger you so much ? If so, then just ignore it, I'm not telling anyone to use it. But I won't let anyone tell me what models should I put in my skin sets, or what Archons are in my headcanon either.

In reply to Zarxiel93:

I still think that it pretty much depends on how you make the Archon, not who makes it, since Dark Templar in WoL and HoTS could make normal Archons as well.

I don't need any proof, most of my units never officialy existed and it's fine for me.

Let's just end this once and for all, since it seems we are both stubborn and have answer to everything, noone would eventually win. You have your Archons & Sentries, I have mine.

In reply to VastanX:

Yep :) Glad you like them

In reply to DEFILERRULEZ:

Thank you

Well, i think Archons are pretty strong already. Normal Archons have tiny AoE you usually don't even use, while having three enemies hit by the full damage makes hell of a difference, but it was only and idea anyway and it wasn't designed for co-op, just a thought. The thing that they suck at sieging, well they are meant to be meatshields in the frontline with units behind them sieging, so I don't know.

For the rest, well the Tal'darim Archon and Dark Archon is the same thing for me, so that makes things a lot clearer for me. That guy above is then definitely Dark Archon, but if he is formed of 2 Nerazim, or 2 Tal'darim, well I don't know that xD

But sure, there is no reason why Archons couldn't have melee attacks, the one in LOTV trailer just cut Ultralisk's blade with his hand ...

EDIT: And I quite think that my headcanon is quite close to what should really have been in LOTV campaign. Since in data Shadow Archon was meant to be merged from two Signifiers who are Nerazim faction HT's (This is somewhere in files and also on Wiki). And since Dark Archon's color fits the Tal'darim well, they really might have had those. I think that waht happened was this: "Hey what if we gave the Dark Archon to Tal'darim ?, Nah that would anger the old school sc1 players and make them cry." So they did it the way the did.
