Seriously? 
never thought in a million years I would find a redeeming feature in H6, but at least that Dungeon is coherent on paper lol

Compared to that, purple color coding is at least bearable, but H7 Dungeon is just a mess.

Ok, I completely disagree. I think actually one of the only positive things I can say about the H7 dungeon creature artwork is that the faction looks coherent.
... although I would have prefered colours more like this:

H6 and H7 Dungeons both look coherent (and both look lame), but I think only the H6 one is sort of coherent on paper, it's monsters of the abyss with only the dark elves screwing up the theme, H7 frustrates things further with its weird ass constructs and water nagas of the Sanctuary joining the fray, it's not a fit, it's like putting fire dwarves of "Fortress" in the Stronghold or Undead in the Sylvan lol

Now that I look back at the offered line-ups during dungeon voting I can clearly see that devs had every intention to heavily reuse HVI models.
Assassin, Minotaur, Medusa, Dragon, Lurker, Manticore, Faceless and probably Skirmisher are completely reused HVI models with only different color (something that they explained is very easy to do with editor).
Entire HVI line-up is here just spread in 3 offered choices with sprinkes of few new creatures. That hurts me so much. Damn!!!
Seeing those comparisons side by side made me even more startled than I was letting me be, even already decided not to buy this game for months now. Why, not even in the older installments such copy and paste was that evident. The bit of pride that they could have place upon medusas, AT LEAST, is not there. Instead, they hired a naga, threw a pot of spaghetti on her head and labelled her medusa.
Again, someone will enjoy all this, for the better or for the worst.

I completely agree. I simply choose to ignore the fact that Medusa is actually a Naga - this is a prime example of developers destroying an otherwise perfectly good part of game with a snowload of lore. And as for the Strider - yes I agree fully, it is in every way a bad design choice, not only was it unnecessary (Faceless was a perfectly good choice, as was Manticore), it's also a missfit, since we have a difference faction that has constructs as a major part of its theme. When I talked about coherence I was refering only to the visual elements.

OK I think we both fully agree, yeah I should have just more clearly distinguished "visually coherent" from "coherent on paper" lol

Honestly of all the factions so far dungeon is my favorite.
Assassins are good, shades could use a hair change...Stalkers and trackers should have only 1 crossbow.
Troglodytes are awesome, medusae are good despite the fact that most people dislike the reused model. Minotaurs are awesome.
Striders/soulless should be switched out for manticores.
Hydras are awesome and I actually like the dragons despite most people's apparent hatred for them.

You're far from being the only one who would have wished for the exact same thing.

On a side note, I rather like the Might Hero designs for Dungeon this time around. They were an incoherent mess in H6... weird chest-eye, quasi-Sauron helmet, feathers everywhere, ugly cape... comparatively speaking, these new ones don't look too bad. Maybe it's the colours, maybe it's the masks, maybe it's the racial androgyny - the only think I'd complain about are those weird multi-coloured swords, but that's small potatoes compared to my gripes with H6.
Here's hoping the Magic Heroes look just as good. I can't quite pinpoint my exact gripes with those ones, but they're just... off.
