I want my Modeled Entity to perform a custom attack animation

While you could play a state with a onAttack trigger, there will be no delay between the start of the attack animation and the damage itself, so a different solution is required.
A popular and effective method is to:

Cancel the attack event
Play the state
Delay the execution of the skilltree
Deal Damage

And this is usually done via the use, in some form, of the following base metaskill:

ExampleMob:
  Type: ZOMBIE
  Skills:
  - model{mid=examplemob} @self ~onSpawn
  - skill{s=ExampleModelAttack;sync=true} @self ~onAttack

ExampleModelAttack:
  Skills:
  - cancelevent
  - state{...}
  - delay 17
  - damage{...} @trigger
