@Kueken531: Go That is awesome. This unit would look great in the proposed campaign. I believe it could be recolored to look a little more like protoss units, but may not be necessary.
@AtikLYar: Go For the unit weapon I'd wait for the custom model, because we still don't know how the unit will look like. For the blast I used a very similar idea in my own mod: we could make a huge Mothership come down from the sky and use Planet Cracker on the target point.
@AtikLYar: Go I fixed the requirement and added better icons. I realized that fidget animations will make the unit uncloak, which is weird and dangerous.
This challenge seems abandoned. Don't worry people if you want Protis Sniper just use HoTS Replicant to copy a Ghost and you can Snipe and EMP your way through the enemy lines :-)
Any ideas anyone? The more I think of it the more I like AstralCV's idea of a psycho observer. I think I'll use it if somewhere else if the Protis Sniper is going to be an infantry unit.
One more spell idea: a reversed Graviton Beam, to bring air units down so other ground units like Zealots and Immortals can attack. This would be way more useful than Gravitom Beam since there are more units than can only attack ground.
@Forsworne: Maybe some modeller could work on it so it fits SC2 quality?
@smurfbizkit: When I read your hallucination idea I came with the very same idea for a Blink, so the unit could copy friendly units' appearance and hide among them, constantly changing its position.
I'll just throw some ideas around. Here's the Vindicator picture (SG Ghost unit). His weapon looks better for a sniper than the previous Purifier I posted. The Vindicator was a slow but strong infantry unit, with a powerful beam attack. Vindicator would be a good name for this unit.
The Protis Sniper could also inherit a few more ideas from this unit. It looks like he uses a mask covering part of his face, but unlike Zeratul and DTs it is a plating mask, more like Urun's mask/helmet. At least one of the Vindicator's nerve cords is linked to his weapon and that's a great idea as well, maybe the ones that aren't linked to the weapon were cut off like DT's.
I like AtikLYar's Psionic Crush idea. I don't think it should have an ability like Karass' Plasma Surge, at least if it is going to be a Protoss version of the Ghost unit.
Maybe the sniper could be upgraded from DTs? And the "Academy" could be upgraded from the Dark Shrine?
And here's the concept art of the Purifier unit to be used as a base for the weapon.
The idea of creating Gestalt Zero both as hero and as unit type is very cool, but doesn't fit the idea here. I agree with you Almaity, make it a Nerazim unit, or maybe it is one more "cooperative" unit just like the lore for Void Rays. Maybe it looks like a DT but the weapon looks Khalai. The Purification ability is perfect as a replacement for nukes.
The weapon could look like the Soul Hunter weapon it would be both the melee weapon and the long range weapon. For the tech tree I think the Academy should require a Twilight Council.
Any chance of making it a female protoss? Selendis can't be the only one.

Hey, now that GhostNova released the GestaltZero unit and portrait it's a good idea to get this project going ;-)

Added the validator so Purification Zones can be targeted by Chrono Boost. Added a hotkey (E) for the extra range upgrade.

Here it is, also fixed a few things.
@AtikLYar: Go Hey I can work on that. And here we are working together in one more project :-)
