Welcome Simon,

The current state of play regarding the Lunar army is what's on the Whitewall Wiki - http://www.eparsnip.f2s.com/phpwiki/index.php?FrontPage AFAIK that covers everything that's been discussed but if you find anything else please mention it.

As a general principle we've avoided producing a definitive list of units to make it easier for individual narrators to include in their campaigns. So far the exceptions are a band of Shargashi fanatics early on in the siege, some Tarsh hillmen, one of the Dara Happen phalanxes (not always the same one) and some unspecified Tarsh shieldwall regiments. There are pointers to sources for descriptions and illustrations on the Wiki.

Any particular ideas you have are very welcome.
