May Gondor be saved, may the orcs of the dark lord tremble, may the haradrim scream in pain under the charge of the riders of Rohan!
Arise now, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Dire deeds awake: dark is it eastward.
Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded!
Forth Eorlingas!
Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!
This submod is a total visual revamp of the faction of Rohan for latest version of vanilla TATW 3.2. It's based mostly on the LOTR film's visuals, with some slight alterations to the designs.
All Rohan faction units will be replaced with new models and textures. I've no intention to update the stats or anything else.

Credits & use authorization:
WETA for inspiration, Makehuman project for the faces models and textures, myself for everything else.
You may use in your mods freely as long as you give me credits and help me update the unit_info and unit_id files to reflect the new units.
Bugs:
Capes disappear when you see them from the front. Some capes are a bit stiff. Some foot guards go through the armor under certain animation positions.
Support: Help is needed to update the UI's, and make this preview page more awesome looking.
