Possible to change color/look of Iron Golem?

I created a new faction, and made Iron Golems trainable by this faction, becuas e Iwanted some big monstery-ish units. I then changed some of the attributes and name of the "Iron Golem" to be faction specific. I was wondering - is there a way to change the color/look of the "Iron Golem" for this specific faction by altering the "coreunits" description (or any other way)? - I am AT BEST a mediocre modder with limited skills!

Yes, you can change the color. About the look - not easily except the size of the unit.

Please take a look at this example, I did the similar thing and created a new race, faction and units (the newly created Iron Golem should be in the units file for the new faction). color and size definitions:

<Color_Metal>70,80,100,255</Color_Metal>
