Looking good!

Your heroes look suitably heroic (and that white is excellent). I particularly love the aged shields for the skeletons though. Marvellous stuff!

Looks great! I love the subtle contrast on the (living) heroes' armor!

Thanks guys.

@Red Orc - thanks, I wanted to go "old school white" on the armour rather than cinematic dark brown.  Skeleton bone base, sepia wash, then highlighted with skeleton bone, ivory and Foundry's Canvas light.

@Mason - the trees are from Mantic's Terrain Crate 2  -  or North Star's Scary Wood.

That is a great start! Will these be used for OGAM, or Mortal Gods, or something else?

I`ve already seen them on Facebook, good stuff! Which grastufts did you use? I think I see some swamp gras tufts, but there seem to be others too.

Can we expect to see some more Mortal Goodness soon?

Love those skeletons! Great work also on the shields - they look naturally tarnished.
