This is the unit list for my new faction, Corrupted Men. The faction hasn't been started yet, but it will be started as soon as I get a Base Maker who can create the fortress and expansion plots for the new faction.
If you're interested (Worldbuilder required for this), please inform me as soon as possible. I'm also in need of some Models, so it would be great if someone could do those.

The list is:

UNITS:
- Haradrim Spear Throwers (Special Ranged Infantry)
- Haradrim Archers (Basic Archers)
- Haradrim Lancers (Basic Cavalry)
- Easterling Pikemen (Basic Cavalry)
- Corsairs of Umbar (Basic Infantry)
- Easterling Archers (Strong Archers)
- Half-Trolls of Far Harad (Elite Pikemen)
- Dark Easterlings (Heavy Pikemen, anti-siege)
- Wraiths of Rhun (Special Inn unit)
- Black Numenorian Marauders (Special units who can spill oil or gunpowder)
- Oliphaunt Horde (Basic Siege Monsters)
- Mumakil (Elite Siege Monster)
- Corsair Ballista (Siege)
- Wain Riders (Elite Cavalry)
- Variag Horsemen (Heavy Cavalry)
- Axemen of Khand (Elite Infantry
- Rhun Royal Guard (Hero Horde Swordsmen)
- Balchoth Archers (Elite Archers)
- Soldiers of Rhun (Hero Slayer Infantry)
- Were-Worm (Flying Dragon recruited from the Fortress)

HEROES:
- Khamul (the second of the Nine)
- Pallando (the evil Blue Wizard)
- Suladan (the King of Harad
- Groth the Worm (a were-worm of the East)
- Ulwarth (captain of Pallando's Royal Guard)
- Fuinur (Black Numenorian Corsair chieftain)
- Boldog (Structure/Inn hero, superpowered orc of the North)
- Gurthur the Balrog (Ringhero, powerful Balrog Warrior of Utumno)

As you can see the list is quite extensive, but feel free to suggest anything if you want

very good indeed
only thing i sorta dont like is that were-worm, as it sounds a bit un-tolkienish. i think calling it 'wyrm' is better, as that gives a hint of the scandinavian mythology that tolkien was inspired by.
in my opinion
wyrm=cool > worm=feeble creature

[IthronAiwendil]

I know the Were-Worm doesn't have much to do with Tolkien, but I think Bilbo mention something about the Last Desert and were-worms in the first chapter of the Hobbit, but I may be wrong...

[Juissi]

I checked and he mentions "hirmukäärmeet", thats the finnish word he uses but I cant find good translation for it but I guess Were-Worm would be quite right

[zimoo]

You are correct.

And FYI, worm is more Tolkienish than wyrm. Infact, of the top of my head can't recall the term 'wyrm' ever being used at all.

[IthronAiwendil]

I checked and he mentions "hirmukäärmeet", thats the finnish word he uses but I cant find good translation for it but I guess Were-Worm would be quite right

In the earlier version of the Finnish Hobbit I think they used the term "ihmismadot"

[Juissi]

I wonda why Ea used wyrm instead of worm.
Answer: They are just...stupid
Q: How is the Oliphant horde gonna be ? Couple of smaller Mumakils or something like that ?

[IthronAiwendil]

Olilphant horde is a group of small mumakil that don't have the cage thing on top. They act as a siege monster horde and they are not as powerful as the adult mumakil.

[Caluadan]

thats a rly good idea

[Juissi]

Do think you need model for it ? I think I could do it as it isnt so hard to do

[zimoo]

It can be done through code.

[Lauri]

could need a new skin though... without that ugly things on the back...

[IthronAiwendil]

Do think you need model for it ? I think I could do it as it isnt so hard to do

Well as people already said, it can be done with coding, but would you be able to make some other model(s)? I saw your models for the Last Alliance and thought that you could be able to make some great models But of course you don't have to, but since I'm not able to model it's really hard to make some of the units without any new models And yes Oliphants will have a new skin.
I will release the structure list soon so you'll have a better idea of what the new faction will be like.

[Eonwe]

I like this idea. Will you be replaceing a existing faction, or add a new one. If your adding you should think about Rohan. It is up to you know, and I already like it. Maybe you could add Khand horse archers.

Most of the Goblin units will be moved to other factions, e.g. Shelob and the spiders are moved to Mordor, Goblins and Azog are moved to Angmar, Drogoth is available for Evil Men as a Spell Book Summon. I will get rid of Half-Troll Marauders, though, and only Half-Trolls of Far Harad are available for Evil Men and they have a better model (by Cahik)

[Caluadan]

sounds reasonable

[GrandMoffDima]

For my personal mind it would be better
1.Drogoth move to Isengard(It has very exotic heroes)
2.Maradeur Swordsmen move to Angmar.
3.Cave troll Maybe for Angmar or Isengard
4.Giant must be Definatly for Isengard
5.White wolves for angmar
6.Dragon brood for mordor(To replace black riders)
7.Gundaband royal guard for angmar
