Hello everyone currently I am working on a Goblin RTS map, and currently I am making/editing models to make them Goblinz or Goblinish.
Currently I hit a "Modder's Block" and I would like to know if you guys can help me come up with units for goblinz.

Anything Mechanical, Bionical, organic, explosive, immovable or any idea would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

What are goblins without their big machinery?
Pheonix-IV has made a few good Goblin models (Goblin War Zeppelin, Goblin flying little dudes, etc)

Goblin Airships (Big Airships!)
Goblin Battlecruisers (Big Boats!)
Goblin Tanks (Big Tanks!)
(Oh my!)

Goblin Rocketeer - These little tricky goblins are excellent infantry, who fly. Donning jetpacks on their backs, the Goblin Rocketeers are flying foot soldiers with a small attack, but great speed and mobility.
Goblin RPG Soldier - A small goblin, but a big gun can go pretty far. This little creatures bear a large RPG upon their soldiers to blast down their foes relatively quickly and are excellent against air units.
Goblin Engineer - What are mechanics without a way to repair them? A little engineer with the capability to look good, instead of having crappy "repair" graphics like Clockwerk or Tinker.
Goblin Dirtdigger - One of the most feared weapons that the Goblins have. A tank which actually digs into the ground whenever it moves and becomes invisible to the naked eye and are only visible to radars and vulnerable to area of effect damage while they are burrowed. Although these tanks aren't the greatest attacking weapon, they are really good at sneaking around places.
Goblin Hovercraft - A fast little hovercraft with a machine gun or two perched upon it granting the vechicle mobility and good damage against slow infantry.
Goblin Sniper - A great little goblin to have for infantry killing reasons. A simple little goblin sniper, and nothing more.
Goblin Mortar Group - An old fashion way to carry around a Mortar Cannon compared to the newly found way of the Goblin Mortar Trike, these little suckers are still known for their superior range in comparison to them.
Goblin Apocalypse Tank - The heaviest of the Goblin weaponry, the Apocalyse Tank is often called the "Killing Machine", simply because it has the capability to pick up ground infantry allied units and use their firepower to help it fight in battle.
Goblin Bomber - A fearsome god of the skies, the Goblin Bomber is known for its ability to drop heavy bombs under it to blast its opponents into smithereens.
Goblin Energy Tank - One of the most recent vehicles invented by the Goblins which has the capability to bend energy itself to attack. It also has the ability to fire large bolts of energy to consume an area which pauses any enemy units in their tracks.
Goblin Wraith - Known as the "Phantom of the Skies", the Goblin Wraith has the ability to cloak upon command, making it invisible while draining energy over time. (GO Starcraft! w00t!)

Hope that will give you PLENTY of ideas. <3

energy tank is a bit too much dude. This is not tiberian sun, its warcraft, and why the hell is there no goblin FLAMETHROWER in there?

Goblin Brute - a mechanically enchanced goblin
Goblin Alchemist - a little dude with some unstable inventions
Goblin Wizard - can u say boom?
And stuff like that. Be creative

well you always have to take into account the small size of a goblin. These guys are so small that a normal goblin unit would look too small in gakme, it would look awkward. You always either have to put them together (like sappers and mortar) or you have to make them ride something (a tank, a pig, whagever you please, as long as it makes them bigger)

In a world of magic, i was referring to them making a tank which harnesses the magical essence, which isn't too far from what could be possibly with crazy little gobbos.

yes ok i agree that would be possible. I thought you where talking like, tesla stuff ^^

in the end though its all about how you bring it. You can give em a laser canon and get away with it if you make it look shabby enough xD

..Damn ok I would say goblin flamethrower is a must, a minelayer maybe?! And I would def have one where the goblin has this huge jacked armor basically, as Mezzer said it, a brute. Kinda a goblin that has this huge destructive machine worked into him

The name "hobgoblin" needs to be used without excuse :)

and thats an interesting goblin flamethrower, but a bit generic. Its the same goddamn goblin we see everywhere :(
