I mainly skin regular Warcraft III units for LotR based maps (which isnt very hard, if any of you do play wc3, I'm NuklearPanda, and I skinned for Ring Wars, War of the Jewels, and Battle for Middle-Earth), but I've done some work for a Tauren race mod thats using only brand new models, heres a few textures I've done.
This is the Plainstrider, its a hero unit that can switch between using a spear and axe combo, or a bow.
This is the horndriver, its a siege unit using a large horn as a ram.
Edit: And yes, I've read The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, And the Lays of Beleriand.
