It's an illithid, damn it! And... some kind of rogue. Maybe it's some kind of faceless ones or something similar? Most likely evil or neutral. The developers clearly read my thread about the "Nigon/second dungeon" faction for Heroes of Might and Magic V. Let's have more beholders, kobolds, monsters, harpies, ettins, and ifrits (although they probably won't be included).

Re-uploaded in a higher resolution. And who is Illidit? Probably a Bandit from Dungeon, or are they neutral creatures, or maybe they belong to the Inferno faction? I'm just not sure where they fit in the Inferno roster.
I would like to see the return of monsters and Ifrits, as well as Harpies.

Search for Illithid online to find out who they are. Or check my old thread at /topic/3629/

An interesting faction, the Nigan. I would add manticores to it (but they unfortunately ended up as neutrals)...
I think Illidit doesn't quite fit the Dungeon faction (if that's supposed to be an Elven race depicted in the artwork). And the rogue is quite good, but looks a bit like an anime character.

In the world of the Forgotten Realms, illithids live underground, so I included them in my concept.

Judging by the picture, I'd venture to guess that Sveta is a mage, and Nastya is a warrior. Perhaps Sveta will be a minor character.
And these artworks... They lean more towards neutral creatures. It would be great if there were a lot of neutral creatures, and not just one or two, as in Heroes of Might and Magic V.

Well, let's see how Illithid will look in the game. By the way, the developers said that the 4th faction will have 2 new units compared to the 5th part, and one of them hasn't appeared in previous parts (Illithid, if these artworks are genuine and not fan-made fakes). As for the old units, I think it will be either the Beholder or the Ifrit.

I suspect they are neutral. Because the symbol features some kind of unknown, chaotic design.

Maybe it’s just a trick then. Who knows? 2 new ones, but one wasn’t there at all… and was that bandit a regular one? If it’s just a common robber, then yes, they’re in every part, except for the 5th one, I think.

Yes, bandits and mollusks... it immediately reminded me of games 3 and 4.

Because the symbol has some kind of incomprehensible mess.

Barbed wire, this is a hint at the prison castle... And here is another piece of evidence (possibly not) that these units are part of some faction (especially the Illithids):

LaBoule

In the fifth game, the faction has three female creatures and one that is kind of "asexual" - such a mutant, that you can't even tell what gender it is (if the concept of "gender" even applies to this creature).
A mutant of an unclear gender - a champion?
No, it's almost the weakest unit in its faction.

And the TES faction probably won't exist; there will be a Dungeon instead

It looks like a fake, because it was added by some random person. Arandor, if these artworks are supposed to represent the Dungeon faction, then it's an assassin. But I think it's a fake – the drawing style is not right. Although the light elves also stand out in terms of style...

Fake. The backgrounds in the images are the same, while in other artworks, they are different. Plus, the news should be featured on the main page. It's an Illithid from D&D. Take a closer look; they are practically identical, down to the details of their clothing.

yes, it really looks like a fake, and in the 4th faction, the champion will remain the same (there will be no dragons...), so it's a fake, and we're waiting for the announcement of the 4th faction.

Each race will still correspond to its own type of terrain: Jungle, Plains (with 2 types: summer and autumn), Lava, Wasteland (for Necromancers), and Underground.

Based on this, you can draw conclusions about the faction based on the terrain type. Why are there only five, and why didn't they add "etc."? If we take the jungle, we remember Heroes 4 and 3 - hydras (100% will be included), lizards, jellyfish, and so on. It's more complicated with autumn.

In the picture, from left to right:
Sveltana (Undead) - sister of the GRANDFATHER of the main characters, regent and aunt of their father
Anton (Humans) - the eldest son in the family
Kirill (Demons) - younger
Anastasia (Undead) - sister
I translated this specifically for heroes6.ru.

This explains everything. Both the green eyes and the fact that the fourth Faction was "sort of" compromised...

Yes, this creature doesn't look like a neutral one. Something tells me that this icon is the icon of the fourth Faction. And it looks like they're starting to announce it: :smile05::(.

Oh yes, regarding the family. So, are there still five siblings? Or only three? When I saw these monsters, I started to doubt that this Faction will have a human leader. Maybe it will be a neutral Faction (remember how it was announced: 2 good, 2 evil, and one neutral)?

Added 3 minutes later
I just noticed that the first artifact features a human, and the second artifact features a face that is, let's say, not human :D. Judging by this, these are two units of the same Faction. I think the first will be the basic unit, and the second (bleh!) will be the elite unit.
