Well, after playing for a few hours, I think it's time for my first impression of SoD:
Dark Elves are fun to play (although I only tried four of their units so far), especially with their racial which gives you a nice array of strategic options. Because of how fast it charges u can fill up the gauge to level one in the first turn, and cast it in the second, by simply attacking with all three tier one units (2 ranged attacks, plus one with no retaliation). This gives your, for example, Assassin two no-retail attacks in the first two turns. Nice. You can also use your racial to hide your units from harm. Very nice racial. Hero tear abilities (Might in this case) are interesting, but I didn't have a chance to test them (one creates a decoy which forces enemy units to attack it). Basic ability gives your attack additional damage-over-time effect so it's useful. Unit abilities (at least tier one) are all about harassing enemy units (slowing them down, no retail etc). Very useful 
Although I only played a bit of the campaign, I think it has a bit better narrative then the vanilla (don't know bout the voice work though, I have a non-English version of the game, mine is fine).
All in all Dark Elves look like a nice addition to the game.
But... there are also downfalls I'm afraid...
The game freezes to the point it's unplayable. It might by my machine, but I didn't have such problems with the vanilla game. It freezes after I load a save, it freezes when I'm starting some battles. Very often. I had like 10 freezes in this short playing time already. I must forcefully shot the game down when they occur. And there's the problem with the cursor I mentioned in the bugs thread. If patch 2.1 won't fix those problems (or if I won't find a solution) I will be very disappointed...

The dungeon campaign was pretty good as far as I can remember. Never played necro campaign though as I wanted to keep this a surprise for the release

Seems so. The artwork for the purple thingy (which seems to be called Avatar of Void) is absolutely wicked, that thing looks EVIL.

Huh, Am I missing something? Is the game "out" already for everyone (and so I am sad panda) or just for those few insiders? Thought it was planned for 2nd May... or?

As it has been said two pages ago, some shops already shipped the game (where they ordered the expansion).

Kieran is the leader of the Windswords mercenary group, also Cate's missing brother and a dragon knight. Ariana is the head of the Void Order but sadly the story in DoC hasn't progressed in a while so I have no idea what is going on or why.

I confirm. There are two boss slots in the Bestiary, and two achievements for Avatar of the Void and Enraged Kirin. There is also one slot for (probably) Panther and 7 for Dungeon units. Additionally, there is one more slot, probably for the Dragon Wright/Bone Dragon or whatever it's called, but it's next to the Fate Weaver so it could suggest the unit is assigned to the Necropolis faction, not Neutral.
There is one new AM object called sth like Dungeon Outpost. It's a cache. Defeat some tier one Dungeon units for resources. I wonder if each faction will get something similar...
From what I've seen the "mysterious" blue sculpture in one of the Facebook screens is not an interactive object. It's a decoration.
There was also a building called Pillar of Eyes, it's not an interactive object, it was used in one of the campaign side missions. Don't know if it can have a different purpose.
Another AM building is probably sth from the actual Dungeon Town (you know, those AM version of faction special buildings). Don't remember it's name, but it poisons enemy units damaging them for 3 consecutive turns in the next battle...
As you can see there are a couple of new things to try in SoD
PS: Those Minotaurs are badass Though they make a strange victory shout

What does pillar of eyes do? I have a building that reveals certain parts of the map. It is called Pillar of Evil Eyes.

Adventure Map buildings:
Abyssal Seer
At the top of the ominous-looking tower, an old Dark Elf scholar offers to share his maps of the underground with you for 5000 Gold.
Shelter (in right corner)
When staying inside the Shelter, a hero can't be attacked.
Dark Elf Outpost
A group of Dark Elf spies have set up camp here to keep a close watch over the land. Many secrets await in the bowels of the tower. Defeat the guardians to get Resources and Artefacts.
Training Centre
Allows you to pay for upgrades to the visiting Hero's creatures. (Cost for Core creatures 75%, Elite creatures 150%, Champion creatures 225%)
Memory Mentor (in left corner)
Pay 5000 Gold to reset the visiting hero's ability trees.
Dragon Utopia
For several centuries, powerful dragons have lived in these ancient ruins. Only the foolish would dare venture inside.
(on default map it had: 6 shadow dragons, 4 black dragons, 7 spectral dragons)
And Dungeon Unique buildings on Adv. Map (just like Altar of Revelations for Haven):
Soulvenom Crucible
All enemy creatures suffer the effect of "Poisoned" at the start of the next combat.
Deals 50 Darkness damage every turn and reduces the enemy's Initiative by 5. The effect lasts 3 turns. Can be visited once per week.
Altar of Magic Disruption
Visiting Hero's creatures benefit from the "Immunity to Magic" effect during the first 3 turns of the next combat. Can be visited once per week.
I think that's all new map objects (excluding dungeon dwellings).
Shades of Darkness also have two new pets.
And small bonus:
It's called: Placeholder_Hero_1 to 10
