how do you skin and what program do you need?

This tutorial is about skinning leaderheads, but with units it's more or less the same:

can some one tell me how to make new skins for units the other tutorial did not tell how to make new skins for units and thats what i want to do not leaderheads.

As I said, the skinning of units and leaderheads is practially the same. You need to change the .dds files of the unit. For example, if you want to change the skin of the warrior, open the warrior directory. There you should find some .dds files. The interesting one is the warrior_128.dds. Changing this file will change the appearance of the unit. The necessary programs to open and change this file are mentioned in the tutorial.

I have found skinning, or at least changing the colors of the skin, to be relatively easy. Is there a guide on how to add or change animations to the units?

Do you mean existing animations from other units, or creating completly new animations?
