While i do like the Soulless/strider i can agree the spot should've been filled with something with an actual base in pop-culture/mythology. This isn't really it.
well he's like a mix of the "puppet construct"/slenderman archetypes.

There is some overlap between Ashan Dungeon and Inferno(the both draw from Lovecraft) The hollow living armor thing doesnt make me think Necropolis tho.

I agree with Kiryu, and one of the new necro heroes is literally a living armor. It said it in the description. I'd find it but I'm on my phone.

personally i feel creepy, dark things should be necro domain while haunted armour/creatures from the abyss and the like makes more sense as demons or aliens, hence Inferno (Though i guess they'd have to change the name of the faction...)
Dungeon should be beasts and slave masters, not weird, creepy things.

Aye, the beasts that live in the caves and underground. Just like nature faction should have plenty of beasts in it...
But instead we have team humanoids and elves making up two factions. With two brand new creatures! A noun + forest critter and a tall skinny "construct" that's suppose to be creepy. And it's extra annoying to me that both dungeon and sylvans line ups are very similar to havens with them all sharing about the same number of beast units: 1~2.
Every game more and more creature units get scrapped for another stupid ashan unit. and the winged creatures seem to always be the first to go. RIP t-bird, manticore, Phoenix, Pegasus....

@Zeki You have actually played the duel, how big strider was, compared to other creatures ? 
They are very tall. Maybe tallest creature that was available there. Also, as it's arms are almost as long as it's legs they take up spme space aswell. About the animation it's a very thin border between creepy like in a horror movie and looking ridiculously stupid and im not sure to what side it tends to more..
Oh, thanks for the info !
That's good to know, now when I think about it, maybe it's good that it's a "big" creature, really tall, maybe because of that they will look really imposing and deserving of elite spot, even after seeing the model with faction page reveal it's not going to be clear how big is it, we would need some screenshots or video
as tall, like that ?
Yeah that Might fit.

HOLY MOTHERLOVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT IS SOOOOO AWESOME!!!!
[/pathetic-fanboy-of-everything-that-they-throw-at-us Mode OFF]
That does it...
A robot from The Legend of Zelda in HOMM? First Warcraft, then Warhammer, now Zelda!? Do those creatures have their own fantasy at all? I guess not, all those horrible designs are created in the image of other games, and the game has 10.000 types of golems and non-living constructs.
AND of course, there they are again! Pokemon Power! The same FREAKING boring Elemental neutrals are back again! Throw in some boring "sexy" pirate lady that probably only serve to get more nerdy teenage boys to buy the game as they never seen a real lady in real life, and those are the neutrals... BORING! They keep cutting the interesting creatures like Manticores and the ones that NEED replacing such as the ever-boring pokemo... uhm I mean Elementals keep appearing, probably because they are easy to create for those amateurs.
What is up with all the humanoids?? This entire town is humanoid + overused Dragon? The only cool creatures are the Troglodyte, Minotaur and Hydra... Medusa spoiled it for me with that horrible sea hag from the previous game.
All these humanoids lovers probably come in their pants, but the really cool people are disgusted by this, as people should when they see this crap.
And two SM Elves instead of an awesome creepy crawling type of creature that ISN'T humanoid? What are they doing to these series? The Dark Elf units even look the same... this entire town is just a dark copy of the RAMPart. The only good thing is that purple is gone, that is a small victory among so many disasters.
HOrrible, horrible!
But this game was already lost when it started, it neeeeeds new developers, and fast.

And now we have the (soulless) Mimes in Dungeon. Does it get even more creepier/crappier than this?

I agree dungeon has always been more of a collection of stereotypically "evil" creatures from mythology and such rather just creepy ones.

I never understood the "creepy " doll/clown/mime, are they supposed to be scary? I can't take them seriously, it's plain ridiculous

Well it's my opinion but they feel like they are different fantasies. The Strider is an metal-organic-ish puppet. The necro hero feels like something that would be in an abandoned castle.

Well since H6 that has been changing. Underground cities (as in the map, not the dungeon town) have gotten a characteristic Lovecraft makeover, tentacle reliefs in the walls included, without mentioning the maddening whispers of Malassa, dresses made of shadows and eyes and the Faceless and souless looking related to Nyarlathotep. Hell, iirc the name of the last level of Dungeon campaign is a Lovecraft shoutout.

If there is one thing in this world I hate more than crappy HOMM games its Lovecraft, and the American obsession with that guy.
Give a monster 30 tentacles, more than 2 eyes, a name that has at least three ", - or other punctionation signs in it, don't give it a obvious form and turn it very difficult to understand and you have a lovecraft monster.
Give me the most simple mythological cryptid over this anyday.
Those names are the most horrid stuff (Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath, like really?), spare for maybe the Nightgaunt which is kinda cool and simple.

I pity you fanboys... How can you live with that?
Anyway, how can you get tired of me rambling about a unit that just got reveiled? And i'm far from reaching a million posts, so do you see me post in your dreams too?
I know I annoy those who love this simple line-ups, but deal with it, I annoy myself on those who take things so simple and never complain.
