I never said that Bone Dragons should be featured in H7 
I also want to see some badass Death Knight in H7. They aren't revealing those artworks soon enough...

Death knights in H5 were so epic <.< Especially in campaign where you were able to have them....
I just hope the choice isn't between dragons and lamasu, or dragons and wraiths.....

Yeah, wish Bone Dragons could be half as cool as on that first picture.
About second picture, I don't know what does it have to do with Bone Dragon, if anything it looks like some sort of Chaos Demon from Warhammer.

It only has to be champion, has a lot of bones, looks similar if you take away having a dragon head... so it can take its place.

I mean, that picture is not from Warhammer as far as I know, but yeah I agree with your point.

I thought we didn't want to "plagiarize" Warhammer? Remember people's reaction with H5 Dungeon...?
(This said, I was fine with it, since I don't care much for Warhammer anyway. However, I've seen maybe 90% people against Warhammer-esque units, 10% for. Maybe this is changing.)

I won't claim to be an expert on the Necropolis faction, or will I say that I have a clear idea of what I want from the final lineup. What I will say are things that I would like:
1) Keep the "black with green glow" look because "shut up, I like that look."
2) Skeleton base troops, because it would just feel wrong to not have skeletons as your literally bare-bones basic trooper.
3) At least SOMETHING with a wraith/Nazgul-style "empty floating hood" look. I love that aesthetic.
4) Some kind of "black knight" - if not its own unit, then at least clad the vampires in that stuff so they look more intimidating and less... I dunno. "Emo" isn't the word, and it doesn't look completely terrible to me, but it's... lacking.
5) Liches that don't look stupid.
6) Less focus on the spiders. I know, spider cult and whatnot, but they took it too far with the last game.
7) Bring back the old style of Necromancy, pretty please! ;A;

Except the skeleton/lich part i disagree on everything hahhahaha!
The black/green should be toned down A LOT
I wanna see smth more fleshy and decayed,than a wraith
The only armoured troop should be the skeleton. I want the rest of the army savage and undead and hungry
The spider is their emblem so what did you expect?
Also there was only one spider unit(namtaru) that kicked ass. They didn't focus that much on the spiders.
I was pretty pleased with the necro line up in H6.
The thing i would change is the ghoul,with a zombie and make vamp,lamassu,lich,more scary.

I don't want everything looking super-feral. Yeah, they are undead, but I'd rather have a mix of both the "intact" and "decaying." Well, let me put it this way: my absolute favourite undead in any medium is the Nazgul, especially their depiction in the live-action films. Ergo, desire for both "armoured undead" and "empty floating hood" aesthetics... bonus points for both at once.
My comment about the "too far with the spider" thing was more a reaction to the Lich design in H6 - spider-limbs on the back and whatnot.
I didn't really care for the Lamasu, to be honest, but I suppose it was more because of how... non-threatening it looked. Googling it, apparently someone made an edit artwork with a skull head, an Egyptian headdress, and a bit more glow... yeah, definite improvement.
Also, were you disagreeing with my "bring back the old version of Necromancy" comment as well? I like getting new recruits every time I finish a battle, rather than resurrecting existing troops - that's Haven behaviour!

nah i agree with that .that's why i didn't bring it up.
yes the lich didhave this things on his back,but i hardl noticed them.
to me nazgul is a kind of ghost. if we have banshee/ghost then i see no reason for another thing like that.
we just have to wait for the next.

To me, the Nazgul is the original spectral knight, not simply a ghost.
Okay, compromise. What if we took the upgraded armour look for vampires, take away the vampire head and draining powers, and gave it a hood (thus making it a teleporting, hollow-hooded, armoured warrior - maybe make it a "strike and return" type), called that something like "Wraith Knight", and then you could remake vampires into whatever you want? One unit for me, we agree on both skelies and liches, and then you get free reign over the rest. Sound fair?

A vampire with a hood than a metal helm? Sure, why not.
But I think you'd wanna talk to the art direction of Limbic about it

1) I have no problems with the color scheme as long as they are not overdoing it like in the last game.
2) Of course, I don't think we will ever see Necro without Skeletons.
3) Everybody wants this.
4) And this too.
5) And this.
6) I am ok with it, doesn't make much differences to me as long as it is implemented and done well.
7) Confirmed by the devs that we will have H5 style of Necromancy back.

So I was just looking up Paokai pics on Google, and when clicking on one Dark Messiah picture, one of the related images was WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN ADDED TO THE NECRO ROSTER EVER?!?

Why would it be is the better question? As it is said in description, Necromancy is basically unlimited, almost every creature can have its undead counterpart. Undead Dragons, Cyclops, Trolls, Giants, Beasts etc.
In Duel of Champions we saw Putrid Dragons(that are basically Zombified Wingless Green Dragons that Sylvan has now in H7).
Now, why would you put Undead Cyclop in Necropolis lineup when there are Cyclops already in Stronghold? They wouldn't be much different, that is for sure. If you want something new, you might as well add Undead Giant/Flesh Golem/Flesh Horror/whatever the name will be, and make it different from Cyclop.

I dunno... there's just something about that decomposed cyclopean face that really struck a cord with me. Zombie face, big dumb grin... and a big blank eye right in the middle.
Maybe there could be some kind of Frankenstein-style abomination with a cyclops head grafted on or something.
