Given that so many people were associating the new Haven Confessor artwork with the N6 Necropolis magic heroes, I started trying to brainstorm new forms of headgear for the Necropolis... well, necromancers, and I thought "Skull for a head would be good. But nah, can't do that since there's likely to be fleshy Necromancers as well, and we need something more universal. ...or do we? Maybe an all-encompassing helmet that straight-up resembles a skull far more than the H6 Necro might heroes did?" What do you guys think?

Necropolis line-up is just around the corner, so what are your predictions?
Personally that Anastasia artwork ruined my expectations, that awful green and a not-so-great character for necro. I don't like the Haven-centered storyline of H6 and H7 (so far), even less another character which is representing another faction, yet it's insanely tied to Haven, even more than just a Councillor.
Anyway, I hope we won't get the h6 disaster or I will not even consider buying this game. Discret dark green uniforms are ok, but not that damn neon that makes necropolis look like a color-blind strip club

Predictions: Green, Twilight vampires, lots of shiny armor with spikes, undead looking like human beings with green eyes.

it's not just the green glow that bugs me, but the uniformity overall. why do basically all Necropolis followers need gray skin? why do their spiky/plated chitin armor motifs have so little variation? do we have to constantly ram the spider theme down everyone's throat in the art? I mean, we get it already ffs
lol, the Ashan art direction just does my head in

If that happens I will forget than H7 exists, it will be just H6 2.0 for me

terrible dissappiontment.
toxic neon green + humans with perfect supermodel skin is NOT undead.
even snowing horse shines with green.
spider symbolism is all over again like a second code.
green color + spider amblem + humans = undead? snow no!
someone needs to reopen this poll about "how do you feel about h7"
let me teel how i feel, BAD.
first town level, second no inferno, third bad town screens, fourth terrible necro theme.
even a snowing death metal band makes better undead faces.

We haven't seen the reveal yet, let's not lose hope. Although I don't know how much creatures recolor might change if their models are the same as in Heroes 6. Plus the toxic green and pyramids are likely still there.
This is... disastrous if it turns out to be as we all fear. We shall see.

I don't think I will even buy h7, I mean h6 2.0. I don't even know why do they hold with their teeth on that ugly twilight necro...
On the other hand, Ubi I saw that Anastasia was broken, you actually forgot to add the "undead" element in her, but don't worry, I fixed that for ya

*sigh* WE'VE. SEEN. ONE. PERSON. One person is NOT equivalent to an entire faction! Stop freaking out over things being "exactly" like H6. If Haven and Academy have shown us anything, it's that the factions are not so completely uniform. Rakshasa looks thing like a Titan, Silverback looks nothing like a Celestial. Consequently, we WILL get our "whites and greys" and not be completely black and green like the last game! 
EDIT: ^ WTF? Why would Anastasya be decayed? She was resurrected almost immediately after being killed; she didn't have time to decay!

Does that mean that green hell with twilight sparkling teenager vampires is confirmed? 
What I can tell you is that the returning creatures will be mostly the same as in H6, as far as the 3D models are concerned. The colours and textures, however, have been significantly reworked.
All in all I think the H7 Necro is a good balance between the Ashan-specific units and the "classic" Necropolis. But it's probably the faction with the least changes. The additions are great, though.
I will stop there for now or Nox will kill me

It wasn't made to be lore-perfectly, it was just made to fit a REAL necropolis, so she's undead

THIS
It is simply ridiculous how people react over this
Undeads not looking like decayed corpses isn't something new,every game has some of those(h6 overdid it though) and anastasia simply belongs to that group of undeads,so it makes sense for her design to not change as well.
In the end I believe that green will remain a prominent colour among undead,which doesn't have to be bad,cause green is a common color for necromancy because it is often associated with poison and illness.
Sure h6 went definetly too far with the green(i think h5 was also bad about this until they gave us ToE which added a bunch of PINK too),but that doesn't mean that green is inherently bad for necropolis.

Now that in my eyes Necro is prety much ruined art-wise, I only wish now that Necropolis will be at least interasting faction to play mechanic-wise... I mean art is just first impresion to me, the faction mechanics and abilities can make or brake it in the long run...
I will still probably buy the game, and to me, this does not mean it's H6 2.0 ...
I didn't like H6 because of the gameplay, and not because of it's art design. Playing or not playing the game solely because of graphics seems to me the most silly thing ever.
@LizardWarrior: I like your version of Anastasia .... undead should look... well dead, and not like emo kids ... and I don't care what lore has to say about it. Lore should not dictate art direction, as this limits artists options. So I belive it should be the other way around. Lore should just serve as explanation on why things look as they do.
Just to prove that im right, I will add my own lore, that can very easily justify Lizard's Anastasia:
1.) Anastasia was "killed" soon after the events from H6, and has been now brought back to life...again. So she is decayed. Or ...
2.) Anastasia become much more powerful, but that power came at the price of her beauty, as she was consumed by void magic. Or ...
3.) She was acused of witchcraft by overzealous Wolf dutchy inquisitors, and burned at the stake. Or...
4.) She was fighting demons and got seriously burned...
I mean - you can go on and on and add anything if you are the one designing game and story. Even if it's silly and sounds far fetched, from my experience, if it's story writers who write it, people will accept it, and it will become cannon.

No, people are jumping to conclusions. Wait until the CONCRETE information appears and not follow this fear-mongering snow.
