Not at all - in the past, I've mostly based our units off of Rome, but I'm thinking about maybe changing that.
Probably going to focus more on cavalry and siege weapons this time around; but yeah, post away.

Goatman, here are some ideas for some basic units:Rohan units



General: Rohan is renowned for it's cavalry. The Rohirrim grow up with horses, and love them next to their kin. As such the horses of Rohan are the finest steeds to be found, and the well-trained Riders, with their great prowess in battle and natural affinity with their mounts, are the most skilled Cavalry in Middle-earth. Rohan also has infantry, and while they are not as promient as the cavalry, or as strong as some other infantries, they are fine warriors in their own right. The Riders will also dismount and fight with skill on foot if need be. All Rohirrim posses a free valiant spirit, that steadies them against their foes.





Riders of Rohan:

The Riders are the backbone of Rohan's military. These men come from across all of Rohan. While many of them spend most of their time as herdsmen or farmers, they grow up with horses, are well-trained ride and fight, and most have served in the King's service and have experience in battle. They are not as heavy as some cavalry, as the Rohirrim prefer speed and skill, and with their skill and swift steeds, they are the finest standard Cavalry in Middle-earth.

Weapons: Each Rider is equipped with a Spear, a shield, and either a sword or an axe.

Armour: well made mail and scale armour, mixed with leather, with helmets and plate elements.



Rohirrim mounted Archer

A key component of Rohan's muster is it's well trained mounted Archers. While less numerous than the normal riders, they are just as skilled. They combine mobility and range and can sweep in, strike from a distance, and then gallop way before the enemy can retaliate, and are effective in large numbers or small parties.

Weapons: Each has a standard bow, and a sword or axe.

Armour: well made mail and scale armour, mixed with leather, with helmets and plate elements.





Knights of Rohan.

These are the Riders in full-time military service. The difference between them and most of the Riders is not vast, but they have more time to train and prepare, and so are more skilled in battle. They elite troops, and are often to be found at the fore of the advance, and wherever the fight is fiercest, leading the Rohirrim to victory.

Weapons: Each Has a lance, a shield, and a sword.

Armour: Scale and mail. Plate helmets and elements. a somewhat more standardized and better made than normal Riders





Knights of the King.

These are some of the very finest warriors in Rohan, chosen to be the King's personal guard. The follow him everywhere whether in at peace Edoras, or in the thickest battle. They experts with spears, swords, axes, and even other weapons if need be, and are quite possibly the best and most skilled cavalry in Middle-earth.

Armour: Very well made scale and mail, with plate Helmets, and more plate elements that normal Riders or Knights.

Weapons: Spear, Sword, and shield.


Rohirrim Infantry:

Not all warriors of Rohan are cavalry. Many are infantry. Like their Rider counterparts they are mustered from all of Rohan, but are better trained, and more experienced and used to fighting on foot. While not as good in formation some other human armies, they are very proficient in melee combat, and will tenaciously advance, or hold a shieldwall.

Armor: Mail and scale, with some leather, plate helmets and elements.

Weapons: Swords, axes, shields.



Rohirrim Spearmen.

These infantry are much like regular infantry, except they are specially trained in the use of the spear, either to form defensive walls, or to advance.


Obviously this is incomplete, and I spent more time on the Cavalry than the infantry. What do you think? How heavy or light do you think our standard Cavalry should be?

So it begins.

I hope you don't mind if I get things rolling, Goatman, but we really need to take initiative.
