Gilash
Gilash was kidnapped by goblins when he was a mere child and he was raised among them. The goblins still think that he is one of them as does he. He managed to survive and rise high among them eventually becoming their king and idol through battles and conspiracies where his greater intelligence and bigger size helped him. He has discovered that he can call them to his help and now he is able to call his minions to arms anywhere he travels and exceeds in commanding them.
Horde riser - All Goblin and Hobgoblins in hero's army gain +1 to their offence and defense for every two levels of the hero, starting on first level. Also calls extra goblins/hobgoblins to arms for every battle when it begins. The Amount of called goblins/hobgoblins depend on hero level. After the battle goblins/hobgoblins run back home
Starts with Basic Bloodlust,Basic Attack and Battle Frenzy
Forgot those starting skills now added and lengthened the description.
The special works like this:
-When you enter a combat you get an extra pack of goblins or hobgoblins(these only if you are on strongholds native terrain) to place in combat.
-Their numbers depend on hero level.
-They will run away after the battle ends(you can't farm them).
-Of course it gives also extra attack and defense for goblins.

I do have some points of comment on Abrahanna. Firstly it is not clear to me what the unique ability does(this also causes that I'm not sure if the name fits).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As said, it occasionally randomly bestows the charge ability on one stack in the army. Condescender could be a better name.
That part was clear from the beginning, it is not clear however what the "charge ability" actualy does. It is good to create skills, just explain what they do. Condescender would be neither a better or worse name. It nowhere states that the hero considers herself above her troops, it also does not state that she is born to leadership. It only states that she has a very commanding voice. It might be better to name it Cry of Command.
SBlister, I love Cheapshot, it is a great ability. You might considere to look into the name of the ability though, Cheapshot sounds rather cowardly.
I must admit I am again dissapointed somewhere that my third hero got accepted so easily. Still I'll try to do some more.

Hey JoonasTo, I did some editing of Gilash's profile before you redid yours. Yours is good, but there's a few issues to bring up. I don't think goblins can think he's a goblin too cuz goblins live closely with the orcs and will see them on a day to day basis. hence, he is not gonna think he's a goblin. Secondly goblins have no king. they rely on the orcs to guide them. and lastly i dont think anyone can discover they have the ability to call upon goblins. And lastly i already added basic attack and battle frenzy to Greshmog. Here's what i have as a suggestion:
Gilash
As a child, Gilash's family was slaughtered by a tribe of renegade orcs. Having survived the massacre, he was taken in and raised by goblin scavengers who found him hiding amongst the ruins of his village. Not only did he manage to survive, Gilash rose to the top exceedingly quick. Fiercely loyal to them and they to him, swarms of goblin minions will rush into the battlefield at his beck and call in the name of their leader.
Goblin Commander- All Goblin and Hobgoblins in hero's army gain +1 to their offence and defense for every two levels of the hero, starting on first level. Also calls extra goblins/hobgoblins to arms for every battle when it begins. The Amount of called goblins/hobgoblins depend on hero level.
(Starts with Basic Bloodlust, Basic Leadership and Basic Logistics)
As for Cry of Command, I prefer the words you used to describe it... Commanding Voice or Voice of Command.

I have no other name for Cheapshot. Names, anyone?
And here's a tactic. Wolf Ravager stands behind Vanguard and taunts. The enemy stack is forced towards the ravager but passes the vanguard taking damage. and the ravager has unlimited retaliation. Slice and dice...

Faragne
Faragne has been a thief all her life. As a child she couldn't help to take what she desired and often she succeeded without anyone noticing her. As she passed into adulthood, her ability to steal made her greedy and lead eventualy to her arrest by the Vanguard. Instead of being punnished for her many crimes, the chieftain of her tribe put her in a raiding party to the Griffin lands to either die in battle or bring many spoils for the tribe. Indeed Faragne returned and she brought more bounty with her than everybody expected. Faragne claimed a large share and was put in charge of each of the following raiding parties.
Brigand Queen - Increases the amount of gold received from raiding.
How about Backslash, in most cases the Vanguard slash passers-by in the back.

1. I've added these skills: (Starts with Basic Bloodlust, Basic Luck, Resourcefulness) for Faragne the Brigand Queen.
2. Spiked armor has been removed from dire behemoth (too much like magma shield from the lava wyrms). I've given devour to the normal behemoths.
3. Since the ability name, "pack hunter" has been taken, we need a name change. We also need a change for "cheapshot". I put "opportune strike" on the MASTER POST. Other alternatives are swiftshot, whirling strike, lashing strike.
4. No one's making comments on War-Overlord's hero bios cuz they're just that damn good.
5. We have 8 heroes. 2 more left to go. Gnoll Mage and War-Overlord are working on them.
Good news. We're almost done. I would say around 92% completed.

Nice. I never liked the spiked shield anyway...

All alternatives are ok. Just choose one of them.

Your bio is way better.
Swiftshot sounds the best because they they strike swiftly when enemies pass by IMO.
Oh I didn't notice those skills.

2 more bios to go and we're done. Baklava, should I add the timeline to the MASTER POST? Or do you wanna touch it up first and add all those little details like:
Associated colors, worship, core philosphy, country/kingdom, capital city, key symbols, description and all that?

1. I wanted to give those skills, I just got called away before I could do it. Thanks.
2. I don't mind that, as long as the Dire Behemoths get a decent raise in defense to compensate for the armor it is wearing, maybe even slightly more than their already getting.
4. Still, I somewhere don't like that they are "just that damn good" from the beggining.
I'll do my last hero bio later tonight.

Alright, WarOverlord, since I know you like that stuff, plus I have extremely little free time now, you do that and then SBlister can add it to the master post. Be sure to check the timeline and alter it if necessary, so that Dimorgh is mentioned nowhere.
 Bye Dimorgh, we'll miss you...

We all will miss you. Farewell Dimorgh, Lord of War. I'll do my very best to check and alter the timeline. I'll porbably have time for that on sunday.
BTW I vote for lashing strike.
Sorlag
Sorlag is shaman and alchemist of his tribe, a tribe which is famous for their victoryritual. The most brave of their warrior are marked with tatoos of their kills by their shamans. On a given moment, Sorlag ran out of ink and used one of his alchemical potions instead. Several days later the tatoos started to give off a deep red glow. The glow never died and those particular warriors grew execptionaly strong. As an experiment, Sorlag started to replace the normal ink with potions more often and those warriors also had enhanced skills. Sorlag now only uses alchemical potions for his tatoos, but as his potions are unpredictable, so are the enhancements of his tatoos.
Magical Tattoos - All units have a chance of starting out with a random light magic spell (divine strength, haste, endurance, deflect missiles). Probability increases with hero level 2%/level.

I'll just put it as swiftshot since its the most accurate name. Thanks Joonas . How much do you wanna raise the dire behemoth's armor by, War-Overlord? You also need to list out a bunch of skills for Sorlag. I edited his profile on the MASTER POST. Tell me what you think. Since Baklava is busy, War-Overlord are you gonna edit the timeline and all that? We still have time Gnoll Mage for you to do your profile. Just make sure it's a female. So one more hero to go, timeline and a bit of tweaking... Nearly there.
ps- oh crap. we have a problem with the name Sorlag. Apparently there's a dungeon hero by the name sorgal.... i think a name change is in order.

Not quite so happy with this one, but it'll do...
Thadda
Blood River / River of Blood - moats of towns with Thadda inside do additional damage, cause fear (reluctance to cross) and curse enemies with various Dark Magic spells; all level dependant on %, frequency, power etc...
Myths once said that Thadda could make moats run with blood. But they are myths no longer - Thadda's Shamanistic powers could not stay hidden after her choice to help one of the large Orc Strongholds to fend off its foes. Now her ability to pour the seething, boiling blood of her vanquished enemies into the protection efforts of her masters has earned her the recognition as a more than useful comrade, one that many Warlords have striven to be acquainted with.
Basic Bloodlust, Basic Sorcery, Something secondary under Bloodlust if there is something relevant, else
Basic Attack? Basic Defence  ? Basic War Machines? I like the idea of defence since it goes with the hero in a way, but it may not work out with the attack bias...
Is Warlord the right word?

I have two qualms. Firstly, the name Tadda... It sounds like ta da! surprise! it leans towards the silly side too much. Secondly, I don't know how useful it is of having a speciality that requires te presence of a moat, which means you would have to build a castle in your town. That means your speciality will be effectively useless without a level 15 town and it will serve no purpose if you are fighting on the field of battle not a siege.

I agree about the name, but the special ability actually isn't so bad. It could serve perfectly as a second hero, stationed in the town. I don't know.
