Only things I'm concerned about for Necro's designs are 1) the much-needed change to the depiction of liches, and 2) please don't have those weird noseless skulls on the upgraded skelies. 
Pretty much yeah. I am not even concerned about noseless Skelies(as those are Helms of course), but I just don't like the design of Skeletons throwing a spear.
Liches definitely need changing, I don't know a single person who likes H6 Liches.
Since we didn't get Manticores in Dungeon, Lamasus might return. Concept is ok, but their model needs to look more deadly and truly rotten if they want to go with that unit.
However, I really want to see the additions that they were talking about, I know that they have said how they came up with something really cool for Necropolis(hopefully Elite or Champion tier unit) and now Marzhin said that their additions are really good.

Necropolis in Heroes VI had practically 8 units (7 from its castle and one semi-neutral - Bone Dragons). I guess that ones which will be cut are Lamasus (they were revived result of failed Wizards' experiment - they are clever enough to stop producing units for their enemies). The second ones are supposedly Namtarus - they became extinct during the times of Heroes VII, as far as I remember. Besides, those two creatures were the most hated ones from the ones in Necro line-up, so removing them won't be that huge of a pain.
PS. Skeleton never have noses. Why? Because noses are formed from soft tissue which decomposes more quickly than bones. If you speak about lack of nostrils then well, this is quite bizarre, I must say...

Skulls don't have noses, but have a hole that is enterance to nasal cavity. So there should be a hole, that looks like a nose

It's too early to think about beta right now, malax.
The news last night and what Marzhin said gave me a good scare about what Necropolis might look like (because even though it's not gameplay, the Heroes feel is very important). But now I think that, as others have mentioned, taking a position is premature . All we have are some very general lines and we can go only that far on those. So I'll save my criticism for when the faction is revealed.

I don't think they will make same mistake of making entire faction neon green
Except that Anastasya is neon green already. And the statement that people who think this was a "mistake" are in the minority. And the fact that they presented H7 Haven as an example of so called "non colour-coded factions"
Academy is far less colour-coded, but even there the blue-gold combination is obvious.
Still. A shread of hope remains. And sure design can be "improved" from H6 standards (note that I don't like the word "improved" since art is subjective). But to hope that things would be radicaly diferent than in H6 is a fools hope imo.
So. I have been a bit vague as to what I mean so far. But here are my predictions for Necropolis (now this can all be wrong ofc, and for some of it I hope it will be, but imo it would be interasting to note, what of it will come true):
- Skeletons will be overly designed with over-stylized armor.
- Liches will have skin and will most likely float, or will not be in lineup at all
- Vampires will be emo teleporting swordsman from twilight
- Lamasu will not exist
- prevailing colours will be green and black.
- 1-3 units will be "new" and not from H6, likely candidates are Black/Death knight, Bone Dragon, Wraith and Mummy
- the rest of the lineup will be same as in H6
- It will use the same "Ancient Egypt/Babilon mix as a theme
Now. There you have it. I would be surprised if most/all of this will not come true.

Did wthey show anything besides Anastasya and I missed it? Vecause if you didnt you are complaining about something we already had seen.
You are right about one thing - we had already seen Anastasya - in H6 ... and this is why people are complaining. Most of us here atleast didn't like the direction H6 was taking with Necro, and hoped for H7 to be a bit diferent - and changes in Haven gave some of us hope ... which has now been shattered.
And also if you scroll few post earlier, you will see it has been more or less confirmed that they are going to simply reuse some H6 models, and add a few new ones, with similar theme ...
This is why people are complaining - and no - it has not been something already known.
uhm the thing is that we already saw how Anastasya would look like in this game thanks to the H7 trailer,in which she already appeared,so this is nothing new.
Also it was said that the reused necro units would get changes to their colours and textures,meaning that they'll probably have different colour schemes.
Exactly

I agree. What you said is quite possible IMO.

You make it sound like it's a bad thing.

At least we got some passion and excitement (for good or bad) at last, after a dreadful time with boring articles and one-line long answers to badly picked questions.

Sorry but in that case Ubisoft would be sued by companies who holds rights to "The 7th Voyage of Sindbad" and "Jason and Argonauts".
