That tree and mushroom has to be fake or added in, however the first picture of him looks like a legit weapon.
This is from wiki:
"Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires has been officially announced by Koei. The features confirmed at this time include,
Edit Mode: Edit Mode is featured once again with the highest total of characters so far in all of the empires games. theres a grand total of 100 characters you may create in edit mode.
Meng Huo: Meng Huo, the Nanman leader has been confirmed to make a return in empires. His design has changed from an overweight character to a giant muscular one. He wields what appears to be a giant pillar. No other cut character has been confirmed to make an appearance as of yet. Little else has been confirmed so far by Koei as of yet for new content. Release Dates: June 16, 2009 (USA) May 29, 2009 (JPN)"
Although its not sourced. But based on what I have seen elsewhere, this is pretty reliable info so far.
"With all due respect Madam President, ask around."
