looks nice! except maybe make it a little whiter and a little less transparent. the first time i saw it a barely recognized the wolf. would you like a place in the Thinking up of new creatures and Texturizing for Creatures?
EDIT: it would be an awesome tier4 unit. anyway, last night, i couldn't get to sleep so i just quickly jotted down the stats for the Undead Imp and it's Upg. i thought it would be awesome if it was a smurf. here they are.
Undead Imp(we really should change the name ):
Atk: 2
Def: 1
HP: 3
Dmg: 1-2
Initiative: 5
Speed: 4
Undead, Cowardice
Undead Imp upg. 1(Offensive):
Atk:3
Def:1
HP:4
Dmg:3
Init:6
Speed:5
Undead, Bash
Undead Imp upg. 2(Defensive):
Atk: 1
Def: 3
HP: 5
Dmg: 2
Init: 5
Speed: 4
Undead. Mana Steal
Tell me what you think about it.

OK. I see this faction really will be born 
What do you think about adding aquarius (water-elf)???
He would be the caster (Ice Circle, Ice Bolt, Deep Freeze- after sacrifiecing an imp) You could use zombies geometrics making them more bluish...
Also, you coudl use existing dudes in this faction like Death Knughts and Mummies...
EDIT:
And about the racial. I don;t know if it is possible
Hero would b ablo to use time magic- take his, or enemies creature move back or make all the creatures ( or single one) older (less hp and dmg) or younger (less def and attack)

I seggest to call the name of our faction
Daeva
In the Gathas, the oldest texts of the Zoroastrian canon, the daevas are 'wrong gods' or 'false gods' or 'gods that are (to be) rejected'. This meaning is – subject to interpretation – perhaps also evident in the Old Persian 'daiva inscription' of the 5th century BCE. In the Younger Avesta, the daevas are noxious creatures that promote chaos and disorder. In later tradition and folklore, the dēws (Zoroastrian Middle Persian; New Persian divs) are personifications of every imaginable evil.
a Hero:
He is depicted as a man with many appearances, which means the faces of all men and women. There are also many depictions in which he is said to hold a book in one of his hands:
"The Seventy-first Spirit is Dantalion. He is a Duke Great and Mighty, appearing in the Form of a Man with many Countenances, all Men's and Women's Faces; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one; for he knoweth the Thoughts of all Men and Women, and can change them at his Will. He can cause Love, and show the Similitude of any person, and show the same by a Vision, let them be in what part of the World they Will. He governeth 36 Legions of Spirits; and this is his Seal, which wear thou, etc."
He can produce hallucinations. He reveals the innermost thoughts and desires of and influences the minds of others without their knowledge. He knows all human thoughts and can change them at will. He incites love between men and women, and teaches all the arts and sciences. He shows a vision of the likeness of any person. He can place man in any part of the world where he wishes to be.(can we make trasnpert parts in heroes too? if so.. that can work for our favor!).
an undead ogre could be named woodwose.
The Woodwose (Anglo-Saxon: wuduwasa) or hairy wildman of the woods was the Sasquatch figure of medieval Europe. Images of woodwoses appear in the carved and painted roof bosses where intersecting ogee vaults meet in the cathedral of Canterbury, in positions where one is also likely to encounter the vegetal Green Man. The woodwose, pilosus or "hairy all over", and often armed with a club, was a link between civilized humans and the dangerous elf-like spirits of natural woodland, such as Puck. The image of the wild man survived to appear as supporter for heraldic coats-of-arms, especially in Germany, well into the 16th century. Early engravers in Germany and Italy were especially fond of wild men, wild women, and wild families, with examples from Martin Schongauer, Albrecht Dürer, and Giovanni Battista Palumba, among others.
Apperntly the world Rakaja comes from Rakashsa which is aicent hindu for harm to be defended from... i want to use The rakajasin there undead form,an undead texture,for lvl 4-5 with names like im sheeva->krishna\rama.
(we can easily make them,by texturing,and making 1 arm disspear lving somewhat bloody part).

ok, i guess you want to be our history guy Antipaladin. okey-dokey. The name is kind of nice, except i don't think many people are into mythology and the name is kind of confusing for them. Maybe something more common? I think that the symbol should be fire with bones in it?
EDIT: for the undead imp, i was thinking of making it a smurf(read the thread on how to make a faction in the Altar of Wishes). And maybe some aura for the defensive one because he is the one who is going to stay with the archers.
EDIT2: ok, i'm sorry guys but i get confused by all these folders and stuff so yeah, sorry but i can't do the textures anymore. i can send you the made .dds files which have been retextured but i just get confused by where to put things and where to change the .xdb files. sorry.

I would say we can use the Battle Mage as a base and make his robes on his head look like mummy bandages.

Better yet, make the wielder completely transparent (so 100% alpha) and add a greenish glow to the blades.
Possessed Blades, Demon Blades and Spirit Blades respectively.
Demon Blades with red glow and a feint flame effect on various parts of the (now invisible) elf body.
Spirit Blades with a deep blue glow and a mist like effect on the elf body.
Possessed Blades is a flying unit with Cleave.
Demon Blades is a flying unit with Cleave and Wardance Combo.
Spirit Blades is a flying unit with Cleave and No Retaliaton.
Eah?

BOOM, new idea.
A lot of people use the old-treant mod, but when looking at the official treant I realized that it could have interesting uses as a creature for a different faction.
Say we remove the leaves and color it a dark gray.
Spirit of Night
Shadow Beast
(colored black with bright purple markings)
Horror Beast
(colored gray with bright green markings)
I was thinking tier 4/5 defensive unit, but to mix things up have it be quite quick rather then quite strong. (speed 5/6 initiative 10/11)
Spirit of Night has Fear Aura and Magic Proof 25%
Shadow Beast has Fear Aura, Magic Proof 50% and Caster (Suffering and Weakness)
Horror Beast has Fear Aura, Fear Attack and Regenerate
I'll get to work on the stats for the blades.
