I have finally finished the Imperial units. I wanted to represent the fact that the Empire is formed by lots of allmost independant cities with their on soldiers. To represent this the Imperial units are divided into two types: the local units recruited from the Conscription Center and the Imperials Army recruited from the Military academy.
Dras-Leona Swordsman , Uru'baen Guard and Gil'Ead Archer.
Imperial Soldier , Bowman and Laughing Dead.
Imperial Raider, Knight and Shade.
The Laughing Dead are the Mini-Heroes of the Empire. The magical user of the Empire is the Black-Hand Sorcerer. He uses spirits to power its magical abilities. He can also allow the spirits to pocess him which gives him different and more powerful powers as well as a strong melee attack.
I've read these books and this mod seems to have promise. I do recommend though that you darken and washout the color scheme of thes units. This book takes place in a fantastic medievalish age, and the Empire is lead by a tyrant. A grayer color scheme will help create a mor somber, wartorn feel

Evil tyrant don't always have dark and black uniforms.
Plus something more innovative and less dark and blackish can be enjoyable, too. :-)
I think that it is a very good idea to divide the imperial units into two types
I agree with Ouranos and in the books it says tah the uniforms are red with a silver insiginea, and the Varden use brown fur or leather.
I try to base the models on the descriptions in the books
