This looks like the veiled elf.

This has to be (the) Scinari.

The Community Team just mentioned that tomorrow will be last such preview in April. 

Hopefully they finally show us the rest of range for this release. 

Tomorrow? Do you live in Australia? 😜

How big are adepticon previews usually? They have already shown the mountain spirit, hammerbros and special edition starter box, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if there is nothing more at all shown in this third preview. What we have already seen seems more than enough for what was originally planned to be a single weekend.

By comparison Spirits of Durthu and Eidolons are clearly mentioned as being multiple beings in their fluff texts.

Theres a non-zero chance that the Light of Eltharion is a generic hero too. After all he was referred to as a "shard of light" and is in the suped up start collecting box.

That was a thought I had as well a while back, so I poured over all the articles where they mention him/it and they sadly seem to point towards the Light being a special character.

"In the world-that-was, Eltharion of Yvresse was the perfect blend between supernal warrior and mage. As such, the spirit that endured stands in the divide between the martial Tyrionic and enlightened Teclian halves of Lumineth society."

"Of the two blades he wields, one is dedicated to each of the twin gods. His longer sword displays a fiery rune running the length of its blade, and he has a matching scabbard bearing the rune of the sun spirit. By contrast, his short sword and scabbard bear the mark of Teclis. Even the kneepads of his spirit-animated armour show the dual symbols of the Hyshian gods."

I bolded the relevant parts but basically all the text refers to a single specific person, not to the Light being several beings.

That got me thinking about the Alarith Mountain Spirit; we know Avalenor is a named character, but do we think the generic version will be both a hero and monster (like a Treelord Ancient) or just a monster (like a Ghorgon)? Could be another reason we haven't seen too many generic heroes yet. 

I'm taking for granted that the Alarith Mountain Spirit is a generic hero. But that still only leaves us with two (mountain spirit and stone mage). Even armies with very few choices (Idoneth and Sylvaneth for example) have at least 4-5 generic hero choices so it would be surprising if we end up with fewer than that.

Just any type of generic hero really. Right now there are only two non-character heroes shown and one of those is a huge monster. It’s incredibly paltry compared to any other faction. Special characters are cool and all but there should be a healthy amount of options for those of us who would rather not use special characters.
