This is pretty much exactly what i saw it. That helmet is horrible (also the soldier inside won't see from those tiny eyeholes) and the frontal opening of the chest armor makes no sense at all to me.

[Captain Zoran]

That first one's ability:
"Instill morale in the enemies". - "Contrary to popular belief by the savace balcoth clans, their ferocious warriors of UnngGnnakWhyIsItSoDarkInHere are in fact NOT as terrifying as they belive. Long time enemies of the united tribes of Rhûn, the warriors of Dale take heart when they see these warriors take their place on the field, usually in smaller groups spread out over the battlefield. Because of their lumbering, archers of Dale enjoy to shoot at these big, walking practise dummies. If they have to that is, as when the time for an charge comes, they usually charge off in different directions, often ending up in the bottoms of various lakes, ponds and bottoms of cliffs, usually resulting in death or a nasty headache in the UnngGnaak warrior's case."

Jokes aside though, remember that these pictures are meant to be an inspiration, not the actual model. So good findings Anibal

As for some other things, I think the current roosters are pretty thought out and well done, especially as you can tailor them to your liking later with different unit/faction submods.
The only thing that I immedietly can think of would be more custom hero/faction leader models. A nice feature for instance, would be that if you have an "generic" character as faction leader, they would get an special model. Possibly more ornamented armour wise, as has been done in Stainless Steel etc.

Anywho, here are some more custom heroes/character inspiration:

I don´t know if a soldier from dale will still laugh when he´s got that halberd stuck in his throat. I like the first picture but I´m not really sure about the helmet and the shoes though, maybe a helmet like the dragon warriors that carry maces and axes would fit better but with some ornate feathers like in your picture. It would be really cool if the unit could be a ´halbbrüder' kind of unit like in medieval 2 vanilla: one who carries his shield whilst still fighting as a halberdier. That unit was beautiful imo. The shoes shouldn't have spores I think, kind of useless for an infantry unit.

Spurs.

Yeah, the first guy looks like something you'd put on your lawn.

i thought the 1st one was a tin can at 1st but i still liked it

[Jaldithas]

well, the first one looks like .. cybermen from Doctor Who . with slightly differet helmet ( but face mask is a must) it might be actually a nice unit

[Cyclops]

Looks a bit wierd and completely in keeping with the Easterling aesthetic in TATW, so well done. It helps to have new material for inspiring mods especially when there's so little lore (and even fanfic) about the area.
