Isn't it a little to early for this? We only so a couple of artworks and those of the Sanctuary whern't even proper and sharp. Wee don't know much about the abilities and nothing about individual gameplay of the factions...

One vote for Necropolis from me. Indeed, as for now, their models look the best of the bunch. This Grey-black-Green theme is very similar to H5 one, which is not so good, the colors of the orc units are better, but the units are, as Nightterror said, a little boring.

Too soon for me to vote on this one. I still have high hopes for the new "Sanctuary" faction soo I'am going to wait for it's official artwork and description. Clearly all other four factions have improved massively from H5, my favorite being Necropolis.

I vote for Sanctuary because it has interesting choice of creatures and because it is new.

Necropolis.
They really got Necro this time with the amazing architecture and creature designs aswell as (so far) very interesting special abilities.

I'd have to say Necropolis as well, with Inferno and Stronghold tied for second, then Haven, then the Naga faction.

What you're voting for here is which group of creatures' artworks you like better. Certainly factions are much more than that, the towns, the heroes and all the abilities and skills that come with them, are also part of a faction.

Sanctuary is probably going to be my favorite faction.
BUT so far I really, really like the Necropolis. Their play style is not my favorite since I fancy fast units. I like their line-up and they llok so cool, espeially their town.
Normally I hate undead, but ever since Dark Messiah I can't help that I like them.

I agree with Jaba. 
Sanctuary or Nagas and Necro are the best so far. IMO Haven is in second position and Inferno and Stronghold are the most unappealing. But I can't wait to play with each of them.

Basically it comes down to what you prefer ( since we have no idea on the gameplay) lorewise or as images.
I'll go with the orcs of the 5.

"Sanctuary". Simple reason. It something new to the HOMM series or at least can draw some paralells to the Fortress swamp town from H3 and and a few due to units known from the Dungeon town.
Second come Stronghold for me and third, Necropolis.

Haven - I really don't like the pious overtones that got carried over from the last game. The upgraded Sentinels and Crossbowmen wear headgear inappropriate for battle. Sisters and Vestal should be on the sideline along with Healing Tents and Ammo Carts, not on the battlefield. The Griffins may very well be the dumbest looking yet.
Radiant and Blazing Glories are the result of an artist's infatuation with the Tron trailer. The Sun Rider and Sun Crusaders names make no sense unless sun is a metaphor for something else, but at least the art is cool. The Celestials armor looks dumb beyond relief.
Inferno - Hellhounds look kind of cool, I'll admit, but what is up with the upgrade? The Cerberus looks like an overcooked shrimp on steroids! The hellchicks are not remotely interesting, except that they now look like drag queens with boring wings. I refuse to comment on the Maniac/Demented, but boy howdy, those sure are some original names! The Juggernauts/Ravagers seem to have evolved from the H5 demon unit, and aside from the whole fire-crotch thing (a recurring theme in this faction), I see nothing wrong with them from an aesthetical point of view. But why not just call them demons "Ravager" doesn't exactly roll of the tongue. Tormentors and Lacerators are stuff I expect to see in a Diablo game, but props to them for looking up the words "Lacerator" in a dictionary, I guess. Breeder and Mother*****r can just piss right off. Pit Fiends are passable.
Necropolis - Again with the worshippin'. I fondly remember when Necromancy was some kind of arcane science and not some emo religious cult. Skeletons and their upgrades look okay-ish. I'd go with Revenenant instead of Skeletal Spearman, but meh, whatevr. Apparently Ghouls aren't strong enough to rip the hearts out of their victims, so they have to compensate by wearing makeshift talons. Cute. What's not cute is the upgrade. Hooks everywhere! And don't get me started on its name. Boo! And yet I wish to compliment the developers for the least intimidating Ghosts and Liches in the whole franchise.
The artwork of the Arch Lich is a chapter by itself.
No! No. Baad Black Hole, that is not how you design a vampire! At least the Vampire Lords have a reason to be so sullen. Just look at that ridiculous headgear! I'm glad they decided against giving the Lamasu breasts. The upgrade looks kinda cool. Finally I'd like to say that the inclusion of the Fate Spinner at the expense of actually cool units such as Wraiths, Bone Dragons and Black Knights make this the lamest Necro-faction in HoMM history.
Stronghold - My favorite faction thus far, due to the fact that is the least offensive in terms of units and artwork. The Goblins look like that one orc who drop-kicked that other orc in that Lord of the Rings movie. I really hope the pelvic thrust is not included on the in-game model though. We have all made parrot jokes regarding the Harpies. Nevertheless, I actually kind of like their design. And by they, I mean their upgrades which reminds me of the Scythian Witch-Harpies from Serious Sam. The Mauler reminds me of the Primitives in Serious Sam. Centaurs reminds me of the Centaurs in Serious Sam.
The Shaman looks great, but that is one ugly-ass arm. The Jaguar/ Panther warriors looks like Warcraft 3 shamans. I miss the Ogres...
The Cyclops is basically an Astral Dreadnought who really let himself go.
5th Faction (Sanctuary?)- Shark Warriors/Shark Captains. I don't have any problems with their looks per se. It's the names that bothers me. Wouldn't LAND Shark Warrior be a more appropriate name? Kappas look... interesting, I'll give 'em that. The Coral/Pearl maidens are uninspired, both in name and appearance. "Let's see, what name should we give this unit? Mermaid? Medusa? Nereid? Siren? Nooo, let's go with something redundant!" At least the sea nymphs look ni-- Oh wait, those are WATER/RIVER SPIRITS. Because rivers aren't made out of water in the least... Oh I see, there's a maiden theme going on! Because first we had PEARL MAIDENS and now we have SNOW MAIDENS. Clever. Wave Warrior? Tide Warrior? Great, now we know their professions, but I wanna know what they are supposed to be. Snakemen? Nagas? C'mon, throw me a bone here! The Kirins are bad-ass, but I would've called the upgrades Kirin Cloudwalkers rather than Cloudwalker Kirins. Anyway, that's just a minor nitpick.
So, Stronghold it is then.
