EDIT: I probably should be a little more specific in what I'm looking for. I'm going to be editing existing factions extensively, possibly adding new ones, creating new buildings and titles, creating many new units, and probably editing the map as well. The Gnome unit editor is a tool I'm looking for in particular, but I've also been having trouble finding the graphics tools used for making units.
You can grab Gnome Editor and pretty much every other MTW modding tool from the Mizus server:
http://www.mizus.com/files/files/

Tools can be found in the aptly named subdirectory:
http://www.mizus.com/files/files/Tools/

For Gnome Editor search for the following file name in the Tools link above:
Gnome_UnitBuildProj_Editorv2.0.zip

For editing those ancient BIF files which is most of the graphics in the game you'll want ReadBif, found in the same address:
RSW_read_bif_buf_v22a.zip

Ultimate Paint is used for LBM files which is another kind of rarely used and ancient graphics format:
Ultimate_Paint_2.8_lbm-editor.zip

There's other things you may or may not need. If you plan on editing the campaign map and the provinces and sea regions then you'll need a tool whose name currently escapes me. I'll edit this post with a link as soon as I find it.

Good luck, I hope that helps.
