More lord types and appearances please!

While its really neat that we can choose the name of our lords, I notice that some factions get multible types to choose from and others just one.
And in either case, the amount of different faces for them is very limited. It seems to be about 5 or such, causing many repeats when you get plenty of armies in the late game.

It would also make the campaign map more interesting when all unplayable factions show more variation in faces.
Currently it seems the Emperor has decreed that all noblemen must wear ugly beards or hide their face behind a helmet, so that he will be the only good looking lord.

So yeah, some more variations in helmets, facial hair, hats and maybe scars or other marks could go a long way in providing variety in appearance, and getting an additional lord type for some factions would also add new ways to level their leaders in varied ways.

I agree. And more names because even if you can change your own leaders and heroes names, it doesn't change anything to the AI factions and playing as the Empire I find it a pity that all my ennemies wear the same name. I like that each ennemy heroes have his own name and that I can follow his feats and deeds until the day I will meet hi on the battlefield (and he days after if there are any).

Yeah to your suggestions, but i would add cosmetic customization options. Like so u can choose your own helmet type, chest armor, shoulder armor, axe or 2-handed axe, etc...

Yeah true then you have seen one empire general you have seen them all :|

I could post some pictures just to prove my point, how they could have looked different.

This is why we need the army painter and the ability to further customise heroes/generals.
There isn't really any excuse for CA to not give us this feature... it would have no affect on the balance or AI, it's a fundamental part of Warhammer, so people can't use the excuse of silly colours for units ruining the immersion.
CA already did this in the multiplayer portion of Shogun 2! They literally know how to do it but they just haven't.

If they really need an incentive... how about legendary lord and faction DLC packs include armour or uniform pieces towards hero/general customisation?

would pay for it, to single player, it would just mean a lot more for me.

Appearance customisation of lords and maybe heroes too would definatly be an amazing new thing and fitting for warhammer.

After Shogun 2 I kind of expected rome 2 to have that in the campaign but sadly no. Expected it ever since but they never brought it back. Even in Shogun 2 they wasted it on the online mode while it seems so much more important for singleplayer where you have lots of generals instead of just one.
