Well here is some more tidbits to look at until the release. I'm working on bringing some of the BFME1 models back in with high-quality textures to be used in the campaign as well as part of the factions.
Also, I've begun to bring in some of the models by TheDeadPlayer to be used in the mod.
First - BFME1 Towerguards - Citadel Guards - retextured with a HQ texture I put together:
Second - BFME1 Soldiers of Rhun - retextured with a HQ texture I mended together. They will also have a heavy armor texture:
Third - The Haradrim Lancers will be in game in two versions. The first will be the six man horde that comes on the mumakils and the inns they will be pretty much the exact same as the ones already in game. The second wil lbe the Haradrim Guard. These will be available with a larger horde size that do the wedge formation. Below is a screenshot with thier regular texture. I'll add one with their upgraded textures which show them off much more.
Fourth - The first of TheDeadPlayer's models. This was the assassin, but will be the Brigands and purchasable from the inn for the evil player and will be featured in the campaign. The model and base texture by TheDeadPlayer, I just recolored it and did the coding.
Fifth - The second of TheDeadPlayer's models. This is the Rhun Riders. I'm debating whether to change the texture at all. The only reason I would is to seperate the unit from other mods that might use them, but I like the look of the units. I might choose a different horse or new horse texture.
Other models that I will be adding - Men of Dale Soldiers, and probably I'll use TheDeadPlayer's men of dale archers to replace the EA one's just so they match. The main use for the units will be in the campaign - Celduin mission. I'm looking into handling the young mumakil. This will be for some of the southern maps and the evilmen faction. Basically smaller mumakil without the harness/gear and different textures.
For the evil men, I'm thinking of giving them poison based weapons similar to the goblins. I'd like to give them something new.
The main reason for doing these now is that some of the units will be included in the next campaign maps and I'm working madly to set up the base.
Well, enjoy. I'm also looking for any freelance modeler/skinner that might want to help me out. I'm pretty sure that there is no one out there who does not already belong to a team or has the free time, but I'd thought I'd ask. Thank you TheDeadPlayer for your community donations.

, the more bugs we can weed out, and the better we can improve the mod to bring it to it's fullest.
