I have been playing with some various ideas for upcoming sets. Of course, there is he Wild West and Pyramid sets, but I am also going to do a MERC set, hinging off of the Assassins set. Adam Souza drew the character I called "Festus" in the Relic Hunters set, and now I am doing him as a dark paladin-esque figure. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Attachments:

Ok, time to weigh in! Is this character a Hero or a Villain? Let me know what you think. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Attachments:

He looks like a spectral guardian of some temple.
I'm leaning towards good, actually.

Well, thanks to everyone that answered the call on all of the pages/forums, we have our answer!
This spectre is (or was) the warrior, ARIAS ASHAUGHN, the very man that trained and practically raised LADY FAITH.
When he died on the battlefield defending Lady Faith, and Erimohn, he clutched a scepter dropped by the Goblin King. His spirit was drawn into the artifact. As a new quest began to recover all of the missing Artifacts of Legend, the scepter was unearthed, and Arias manifested himself as the spectral guardian of the artifacts. Neither good nor evil, he has one mission: Collect ALL of the artifacts and place them in a secret location so their powers cannot corrupt any more souls.
He is bound to the Scepter (now known as the Scepter of Ashaughn), and cannot carry any other Artifacts. Unlike other "creatures" in Deadly Missions, he will target Artifact Bearers. He will, of course, defend himself if necessary, but will make the Bearers his primary focus. If the Bearer is defeated, the Artifact and Arias fade into vapor.
Arias can be revealed in either the Throne of Skulls or the Throne of Swords. He cannot be the Primary Villain. In the event that his card is drawn, draw a SECOND villain card to be the Primary Villain. The party will face BOTH the villain AND Arias, and in this case, the Primary Villain may NOT be given a Legendary Artifact.
Thank you to all who took the time to offer your suggestions and feedback. As you can see, I used EVERY idea.

Here are the figures from the set. Mariposa, the former Steam-Pirate is now a full-fledged Merc! Xaoc is the second Merc in the set. He's a mean Orc to be reckoned with. 816-XC (also known as "Big Sexy," you see it now, right.) is a reformed Rosinski Mutant and the only "real" hero character in the set. Arias Ashaughn, well, everything you need to know about him is in the above post. Any thoughts? Attachments:

I wasn't happy with only four figures, and I wasn't happy with he images I did. I started over. Any thoughts? Attachments:

I was going to say the other figures were great and didn't need replacing, but I very much like this new creature

It appears she, like so many of my figures, is suffering from "short-leg syndrome.". I am hoping I can put her on the rack when I lay her out. The coloring is among my best (at least in my opinion). Attachments:

Her left elbow might be a tad too far forward as well. Just a little of her greenish dress in front of her upper arm would fix it. You wouldn't need to change the back.
