I'm quite surprised by the negative reaction to the Black Dragon. I really like it and for me it has an interesting blend of black and violet, with the model itself looking great.
As for the Dungeon faction, regardless of it being neutral/expansion/additional, I'd prefer to refer to it as a "Dark Elf/Shadow faction" and have the traditional beast-buffed Dungeon separate and not infested with Manga creatures...

The "Dark Elf faction" doesn't look too bad (cannot judge as not all creatures are there) considering the colour scheme etc. But as Nightterror mentioned, I would hate it if there were so many uninspired copypaste humanoids yet again. I don't mind the Black Dragon, 1 or 2 faceless units and even one Dark Elf being there, but the rest have to be some mythical or innovative beasts/creatures.

And my ideal "classical Dungeon" lineup for an expansion (a more terrestrial, dusty, even arid, poisonous setting, not a shadowy cavern like in H5):

CORE:
Troglodyte
*new* - flyer, a Serpent Fly would be nice.
Beholder

ELITE:
Medusa
*new* - Batlike creature maybe
Minotaur

CHAMPION:
Tauren ! (or a gigantic Dust Worm for WoW haters)

Hmm...
Troglodyte -> Feral Troglodyte
Darkshade* -> Nightgaunt (Faceless)
Evil Eye -> Gamma Gazer**
---
Medusa -> Gorgon Medusa
Chimera -> Furor Chimera
Minotaur -> Minotaur Regent
---
Hyra -> Sprawl Hydra

*Reference to Might & Magic. I otherwise dislike the name.
**From Darkside of Xeen. I really like that one

Well out of negativity about Elemental-Being-Line-Up. I quite fond of the Lamia, well it is several times better than Heroes V's Blackie.

As for the faceless, what is with the tentacles? the tattered cloth in the concept art looks better but other than that, I found it interesting, not a big fans of dark-purple theme for Dark Elven as it is in Warhammer but I can live with it.

...who says it's a faction at all? Who says it's playable? Who says it's even in the final game?

I'm more worried about the breeder boss. It's the most boring concept for a boss in H6. And if they are as strong as the normal breeders, it won't be a fun battle.

Also, why is the Light elemental the blue glory? Wasn't her concept yellow? Or we can still hope that she is a placeholder?

This new dungeon faction looks awesome. limiting the faceless to just one creature is a step in the right direction. the dragon looks great. the elves need some fixing up though.

Yeh I really do not get how people come to the conclusion that suddenly there is a whole new secret faction and 6 new neutral creatures... -.-

we have known from the start that the big story in the end will be about some conflict against the Faceless or Angels or both. It says on the game description that Michael wants to manipulate all the races to fight against the Faceless or something like that.

And since by this time in the Ashan timeline the Dark elves are close allies to the Faceless, it only makes sense for there to be some Dark elven characters because no, those are not creatures. The russian site on Google translate specifically says that it is Raelag (and they even hinted at him coming back in one of the QAs months ago) and the Dark elf Matriarch leader.

hum, it doesn't look like a black dragon to me.
prime dragon? (I read that creature killed by prime magic can't be resurrected? that would be a hell of a dangerous dragon)

Interesting release on black dragon and faceless...

So are these dark/dungeon creatures on the same side as the Faceless?

Which is the antagonist? Michael or Faceless?

On the boss creatures:

Mother Namtaru (necro)
Queen breeder (inferno)
Demon (inferno)
Abyssal Worm
Water dragon / Dragon Eel

What are the other 3?

Really don't see the relation here ^^

I call them Warhammer Dark Elves myself.

Michael is trying to use the Griffin family to finish his war against the Faceless. That's how Ubisoft described the plot of the game.
