Now, let's keep this sticky to Avonu's initial post, that this was the thread reserved for official pics only.

Here it is what we official know so far about units:

Feel free to discuss other pictures other H6 pictures thread is here.

Elite Stronghold unit:

Jaguar Warrior


Upgrade: Panther Warrior


Among the Pao islands’ Orcs, the Jaguar Warriors are elite berserkers. Of their people, they are the tallest, the strongest and the meanest. To become a Jaguar Warrior, a brave Orc must first kill a saber-toothed jaguar, one of the fiercest predators of the islands, with his bare hands. Needless to say, the mask of a Jaguar Warrior often hides numerous scars earned during this perilous rite of passage. In combat, they rush violently and blindly into the enemy, raking with their obsidian claws. Jaguar Warriors are often used as honour guard by the greatest Orc chieftains and shamans.

Last elite Stronghold unit:

Dreamwalker


Upgrade: Dreamreaver


Orcs pray to Mother Earth and Father Sky, but Dreamwalkers are the voices of the tribes’ ancestors.
To become a Dreamwalker, a shaman must first undertake a dream journey to the Spirit World to meet the spirits of his Ancestors. During this inner journey, the Dreamwalker must also face his own demonic heritage and destroy the Chaos within himself.
Many Dreamwalkers die during this trail. Those who survive return transformed: their body twisted and deformed by their struggle with their chaotic blood, yet having gained a greater understanding of blood magic and the spiritual realms.

What is the deal with these misshapen arms? They're ugly, and not in a good way.

LOL SHARKMEN!

I couldn't have come up with something stupidier, it's like Ubihole is mocking themselves.

While the name sharkmen is kinda meh, the unit look is not bad at all imo.

[Blocks100]

I actually thought it was some sort of rat-boy after I saw the concept art. But now the unit is up on the Ubi site, it does look rather good. Just a pity the faction itself is rather meh.

[lotusreaver]

I agree. I kind of like the sharkmen. The only thing I don't like is the trend of giving the upgraded unit a random Japanese name that basically means the same thing as the non-upgraded variant.

[yourworstnightmare]

Sharkmen are kind of lame.

[Darkström]

I would have preferred classic Lizardmen.

[Avonu]

I would have preferred classic Lizardmen.

We probably see then in expansion or another game, when we sail to new continent (this happened in lot of games sequels - H3, WC3, Warlords Battlecry 3).

[ThunderTitan]

The Sharkmen look better in-game then in the concept art...


Still, they feel odd in a HoMM game... but then again so does the whole ethnicity and race based towns thing... oh well, the french and racism, makes sense.
