Seems expensive for what it does, lower the cost to 75g and it's fine.

This is funny. Its the ultimate distraction and you can skip with it too.

I suggest to change the model to Leoric's model.

Just make the scaling value smaller than usual, this will save that potential model and fit better.

I like the idea, another way to screw up your team against a Raigor,

150-200 seems nice. 100 is like 2 hits O.o

We know the skeletons are weak, but 100 is just too weak. Buff it a bit, and it would be great.

This would be and excellent tool too for farming, you tank yourself and your skeletons can help you out. (Pretty much like the Neutral troll's raise dead ability)

I think this is a good item to counter ultimates such as chain frost and omni slash. The 100 hp on the 4 skeletons is good enough because the only reason for the skeletons is to take a hit from the ultimate and 4 of them in 1 charge means that it can take at most 4 hits of the ultimate which is alot of damage not taken by your hero.

Yes, thats how I meant this item.
It should counter skills, but not too hard (They shouldnt take all slashes of Omnislash or take all jumpes from Chainfrost)

I think this is good. Just lower down the cost (maybe 100), and fix your spelling of cooldown, then you'd be fine.

I think the cost is perfect as it is 175 gold because it has two charges and the way its used against ultimates is a big advantage. So its totally worth it since you have a bigger chance of surviving. This item should have like a limit to how much you can buy in a certain amount(like how fortification can be only used in every 5 mins) of time because if it can keep being bought like any item in dota(like trees/potions) then its going to be over used against the opponents ultimates. Which will make their ultimates way useless if everyone on team uses a charge when the ultimate is about to be cast. And yea summoned units give exp I think, but only a very little amount and bounty can probably be like 10 gold not too much. Thats around the bounty of most summoned units 10-25 about.
