Hello dear Adventurers and Merchants!
As another month starts we need to sculpt for the following one.
As always, once we choose a theme we will have all the needed time to develop their core concept and turn them to amazing sculptures. Every theme seen in the picture above is just the sketch, and the release will feature a complete Set with all the usual sculpts unlocked:
- 4 Modular Miniatures with various weapon options and a war stendard.
- 2 "over-the-top" Heroes
- 1 of the Hero will get an extra version on a epic Mount.
- the Mount get a riderless version to be used as beast/monster.
- 1 free special "fantasy Beauty of the Month", themed on the release.
- Standalone Weapons and Spells of the modular models (use them for weapon racks or to customize our other models)

  • DISCOUNT CODES ON OUR MMF SHOP!
    From day 1 to 10 each month, for our Patrons only, use the Code  PARTOFTHEGUILD  to get 20% OFF on your order on our MyMiniFactory Shop!

We decided to simplify the Poll to 3 options.
In this way each faction will be much more competitive in the Poll.
Here a simple description on each theme models:

Ironskin Ogres Clan

This Set complement the first very Ogre Set we made in May, with heavy armored Ogre and some epic figures! There's an epic giant Wyvern inside!
4 Modular Miniatures: 4 Heavy Armoured Ogres with various weapons

Hero: an imposing  heavy armored Warlord
Mounted Hero: Ogre Warlord on epic giant Wyvern!
Standalone Beast: the giant Wyvern
Beauty: Let's explore new shape :)
Fun Fact: One of those guys will surely hold a pig. Come on guys... there's also a giant Wyvern!


Dark-Flame Dwarves (Duum-Lok)

Inspired by Dwergar, Fire Giants and Chaos Dwarves, the Duum-Lok are the most ancient dwarven race in our universe. Their skin resemble coal, and their bristly hairs flames.  
4 Modular Miniatures: 4 Dark-Flame Dwarves with various weapons and Spells
Hero: Kalkotaur Hero (Chaotic Dwarf Bull-Centaur!)
Hero: Dark-Flame Dwarf Lord
Mounted Hero: Dwarf Lord on Soulforged Golem!
Standalone Beast: Soulforged Golem
Beauty: Flaming Dwarf Pin-up
Fun Fact: We really want to sculpt that Dwarf Lord mounted on a Golem to defeat the infamous Depth One on Hive Colossus!


Human Fighters Guild

What's the most popular rpg combo? Human Fighter! This set will contains a selection of human warriors and weapons like no other! Featuring male and female fighters with and without helmet you can use this set to create your hero, or to populate a town with super cool guards
4 Modular Miniatures: 2 man and 2 ladies Human Figthers with a variety of Weapons
Hero: Human Champion (male)
Hero:  Human Champion (Lady)
Mounted Hero: Human Hero on War Horse  (might get some feathers :D surprise)
Standalone Beast: Horse  (might get some feathers :D surprise)
Beauty: Lady Pin-Up us usual
Note: We never understood why humans are so popular in fantasy, never plaid one! But looks like you need few sculpts ;)

Let's see that ogre wyvern 🙌

Ondrej Masin

I hope for ogres or dwarfs. I second your thoughts regarding humans. Just too much of them around :-D

Roberto Carrettoni

Ok human are less cool but they are understimated by a lot of modelers. I am sure you can make very badass and gorgeous human! What you say instead of a horse mount, maybe a lion or a pegasus?

Alex Hood

Anything but humans

Limi

Artisan guild humans 🤤

Sean McInnes

I’m torn! I want those ogres... but I want that golem... but I also want the love for the fantasy underdog humans!

Sven Langensiepen

If humans win I second the proposal of a lion/gryffon mount

paranoidSpectre

I would be totally fine with a griffon mount (a lion would be cool too) for the humans but for now: "Ogres and Dwarves unite (and all vote for the ogres)!"

SteveWasEre

Who can use that many ogres? Already have more than will ever get played. Flames dwarves for me, print as flame Giants and dark dwarves, sounds freakin' awesome!

Joe Kushner

Griffin knights for the humans would be great. Unicorns for the ladies.

John Norton

I'm not sure how well the dwarf would sit on a golum (unless maybe he was sat on its shoulder or had some sort of platform - sadly I wasn't a fan of how the hero clung on in the deep ones set - sorry), so voted Ogres, I don't have it yet but love the one with the canon!

Tee

OGRES! come on guys we need that sexy ogre! i wanna see if its even possible!

Hayden Robertson

There are so many human models across every corner of the internet already, let's get that second Ogre set finished instead!

Josef Sporrer

Ogres or dwarfes, I have no need for humans

Joe Kushner

Oh, and in terms of knights being 'borning', check out the manga or anime for Berserk. A lot of great designs there for mercenaries of rag tag nature as well as more Western and even some Indian middle ages styles.

Jonathan Eliã de Almeida Nunes

Humans would only be nice if some war clerics, wizards, druids, and so on were present. Just human horse-riding warriors is not so cool.

John Norton

I just looked back at the first Ogre set - simply excellent - I second my own vote ;-)

Chris Knowles

Humans. I love all your other themes so far, but humans would give more variety as we’ve recently had dwarves, orcs and ogres.

Francky Il Pazzo

What about feathered wings to add on the back of the uman miniatures? So we can upgrade humans fighters in angel fighters. (Scusami se mi permetto di suggerire... Troppo da attendere per le ali di sol da scalare

Ashley Beech

Evil dwarfs would be amazing. I haven't seen those anywhere!

Alexander

How can you say no to a wyvern?

Mads Madsen

Humans are so common and plentiful from a gazillion other excelent contributors. And you can customoze your own human hero on HeroForge or DesktopHero. Ogres on the other hand are few and not with the same style.

gary

been play over 20 years and got lots and lots and lots of humans but dark dwarf not many if any

The Last Lantern

Should be dwarves, since they were close so many times in the past polls for people who have been voting since the start on dwarves

Ryan Logue

The dwarves had my vote when I saw that there would be a dwarf riding a golem. Not to mention there would be so many options for a dwarven war between 2 clans or you can have them team up to fight the depth ones or the demon Lord or any other faction that we have so far. No matter what set gets chosen I'm sure we will get amazing sculpts as always!

Jimbob Jimminy

i just wanna see the ogre beauty of the month....

BMKCDM

You sold me with "One of those guys will surely hold a pig"!!!

WarjackedsWorkshop

Most game systems give the Human characters a bonus feat or skill is why. From the art shown more interested in the Ironskin Ogres.

Donna Crawford

The bull centaur dwarf looks interesting :)

Sean Abel

There are humans around me all day every day! Lets try something not so vanilla and do a bit of Fantasy... Like dark FLAME dwarves who keep golems'' as pets and mounts! In reality they all sound great and I like the sketch work looking forward to this month as always!

David Roa

Im getting humans so i have a faction to fight the Vamps in a classic rpg encounter/campaign XD

Barry Chapman

First Choice would be Dark Flame Dwarves would be prefect...lots of humans now, but variances for Dwarves aren't that plentiful. Second Choice would be Ogres.

Thomas Stalhood

Dwarves! However if there was a Pegasus/unicorn for the human mount, it would be cooler.

Eric Kemble

Need me some great looking Duergar! Dwarves would be great, plus the Soulforged Construct sounds very cool.

MantisCore

C'mon dwarves! Move those stumpy legs! Your kin is suffering from acute evil deficiency!

The Last Lantern

JUSTICE for Dwarves - Let's not forget that when the voting happened last time , the dwarves TIED and then were "beat" by ONE vote that someone influenced by asking over and over (seems fishy hah🤓). It would be pretty fair if the dwarves are made next, since we have been waiting this whole time for ppl subbed since day 1 and during initial vote 🤔🤯

Brian Osborn

The wyvern would be cool but... Humans!

Rich Crotty

The people that pick "human" ate the same people who pick "vanilla" when asked about their favorite ice cream.

Rich Crotty

Fire dwarves all the way!

Sean Croteau

Would love to see goblins, hobgoblins, gnolls, elves, gnomes, or dragonborn.

Francky Il Pazzo

i vote for Fire dwarf, but.... i am very happy in all the cases... but please, do not scrap the loosers!

Dr Disintegrator

I vote for a Pegasus mount for a heroic female warrior! :)

Aaron Broach

I’d like to suggest that the next 3 months are settled with these options. Clearly, they all have enthusiastic support from the patrons and interest from the artist. Order is largely irrelevant when you know you’ll be getting all of them in the near future. I think this would even be a good method for voting going forward: put up a batch of 4 and vote for which one is made first, then select from the remaining 3 the next month, and so on, until all 4 sets have been made. Knowing what is over the horizon in upcoming months would provide both the sculptor(s) and patrons with the ability to plan ahead, while the assurance that all sets will get made relatively soon will allieviate stress for people who really want a specific set that seems to be less popular than others. I think we can all agree that we’d support artisan guild through all the sets because, even if we’re less than enthusiastic about a set, the sculpts never fail to blow us away.

Ryan

I agree with this but also that maybe the last set get thrown into a new vote. If it’s last twice then kick it out of the vote on the third go around.

Maggie Steward

Much love for the dwarves! Golem and centaur would be amazing!

Matthew Cress

Humans with awesome plate and chain mail. I feel like you just did ogres and dwarves few months ago.

Xavier

I'd like to see ogres and get a more complete set of a race than fragmented race classes.

Aaron Broach

While I certainly see the reasoning behind this, I'd hate for sets to be removed from the pool because they're not in vogue. These ogres and dwarves have consistently been outvoted, but I still want to see them get made. If options are dropped from the pool or sets roll over indefinitely then there will be sets that will never see the light of day because they do not have majority support, despite having passionate minority support. I believe people who's interests do not align with majority should also get to see their favorites realized. The goal is too keep as many people engaged as possible. If a voting system creates a segment of patrons who are routinely outvoted, those people will eventually cancel their subscription out of frustration. But the Epic Boss model will keep people who consistently get their favorite sets made from dropping out for a month or two if they're not passionate about a particular set.

Anonymous

Ogres! That wyvern. <3

Bill Curran

I'm surprised at how popular the humans are. Aren't they already plenty of human models out there?

Limi

What's wrong with vanilla?

John Norton

Me too... almost seems like those of us that want one of the others should change all of our votes to the other one (say ogres) the promise next month the favour is returned and then the missed one gets the votes (dwarves in this example) - like two smaller political party ousting a third

Sheldon Venter

Sometimes, Democracy is crap. You never get what you want. Humans are great. Dont get me wrong. But those Ironskin Ogres I really want to see! I want to know what beauty they will be able to give it too :D oh well, humans win.

Rich Crotty

I am actually going to be playing a flameheaded female dwarf warrior with a bigass two handed sword in my next campaign.

Rich Crotty

I created her the day that Pathfinder 2e came out, before I had even become a Patron here. So you know where my vote is going to go every time until it happens. I'd rather have any Artisans Guild mini than the one I had already designed for HeroLab.

2026-11-14 07:00 What would people think of a poll with 6-8 choices? You can vote more than 1x. The top 3 vote getters are the next 3 months models...
2019-09-01 18:34

Greg Krywusha

Sorry guys, I'm voting for humans. We've had ogres, orcs, mindflayers and vampires. Need to give a little help for the dwarves.

Ron Purvis

Instead of a horse for the humans, how about a griffon mount

Dreadknot

I voted ogres but if you do go human then please make the Mount more interesting than a horse. A griffon would be great.

Dreadknot

Also, if somehow you do end up doing a wyvern, can you please fashion it like Drogon from game if thrones. There's a pretty cool sculpt of him on thingiverse, love to see what you guys could do with your style.

anaximander

My home game has duergar, warforged, and a rift to the Hells, so the Dark-Flame Dwarves would be *perfect*!

Nimi Becza

lol thats what i did, iive voted on the flame dwarves for 2 months a in row but i jumped over to the ogres since it has some chance. I have way too many human figs already.

Mark

whoa! was quite surprised to see humans with such a large lead. I am not usually a dwarf fan but I think you guys will smash the dark-flame dwarves outta the park.

Brent Kutz

I wonder if the mounts can be set so they work in other sets, it would be good if the riders fit on more then one mount. Not sure if this works on all but maybe a saddle that adapts if needed. While it does not appear my vote is going to win out, I'm sure whatever we get will be good.

The Last Lantern

Best scenario would just be make 1-2 models from each set , vote winner gets mount or something. Everyone's happy Haha

Artisan Guild

unlucky making models of different sets is much more long than focusing on a theme, and we would output less cool figures in the end :) Working with rush is never too good

Artisan Guild

We'd rather do something else as we did the griffon for Alvar 3 months ago :)

Artisan Guild

We saw some patrons on facebook getting really creative. Basically on your favourite 3d printing software you can just take a model with the legs not too close, and place (compenetrating) the mount. It sounds strange but it works most of the time ;)

Francky Il Pazzo

sorry but i do not like your idea greg. i prefere the kind of pool adopted now by AG

Aaron Broach

If we’re discussing mount ideas for the humans, I’d love to see a feathered wyvern/dragon inspired by archaeopteryx. I’m slowly cobbling together a world with dragon knights, but the dragons that they ride are feathered. It’d be a unique sculpt, for sure. Shameless plug for my selfish gain. 😁

Xavier

It looks like humans are going to win. I think horse are the best option, maybe different poses for horses if possible. If there is plans to do a monster how about a Pegasi.

Generalnuke

Yep doesn’t help dwarf Models were made recently. I’d like to push angels and demons to go with the two bosses for November

Yujin

Could always use more Human fighters!

2026-11-14 07:00 I'm all for Ogres!!! A common enemy in table top games. Along with Goblins and Kobolds(Which I can't find any of), that sort. I'd Love to see some Dragonborn creations from the D&D Lore and you'd have a Patron for life! :) Keep up the good work.

Ron Purvis

Ahhhh...I missed that one, I'll take a look in the store, thanks

Bill Curran

Dragonborn could make for a really epic set!

Asier Lasarte Cuesta

HUMANS? Seriusly? they are PLENTY of races in fantasy, you have human models everywhere, printed and 3D. Can't understand what we need more of those :(

David Rockwood

There are a thousand free models of humans, you guys are too talented to waste your time on that.

Dustin McKnight

A lot of complaining but I am happy to get some high quality human sculpts. They are the most common race out there and I don’t have any models at the high quality that Artisan Guild puts out. Also, human on a horse would be the most useful.

demonwombatofdoom

Looking forward to the humans. Hope with the females, one is with softer beauty facial features and the other harder tougher facial features. Also do like the idea someone mentioned about a Pegasus. But I doubt you want to do feathered wings again after working on SOL :)

Mighty Jabba's Collection

Honestly very surprised that humans are so popular, but I hope the other concepts will eventually see the light of day

Patrick Smith

Another Patreon of mine has been dong dwarves for two months now so I have tons of those. Also I have tons of Ogres (though more is welcome).. but quality human fighters.. I don't have tons of those.

HAChaos

Sure human fighters may be generic, but I would think that Artisans Guild will give us some of the best human sculpts out there. Plus if it comes with a lot of different weapons, since fighters use all kinds, it will be great for modularity with all the past and future sculpts. I had great fun putting Orc weapons onto mind flayers, having a bunch of standard options would be great for all future sets.

John Norton

Thats a good point, if its all modular (as they tend to be) there could be some real legs in the weapon options, not just for this one but for the following and previous models too.

Matt

Normally there are 4 choices, seems like nothing new was added to vote for so its defaulting to what was second most last time.

Jason Shinn

I know it's from a different creator, but cast n' play is doing angels and demons this month

Pablo Ortega

Duncan Louca has some great goblins and Kobolds. Not that I wouldn't love to see Andrea and Francesca's take on the common enemies as well. :)

Axil Derk

As it seems we will likely be getting human fighters i would like to request a bow option.

Gary Messick

None of these would be a first choice, I have plenty of Dwarves and Humans, and don't tend to use Ogres enough to need more of them either. Of course with the quality to Artisan Guild, I won't complain about any of them, and will happily take them, print them, and will almost certainly love all of them. They will doubtlessly be better than the others I have, and give more options. That said, some other options would be lovely for future months. I have very few Tabaxi/cat-people minis, Halflings or Gnomes, or maybe a Dragonborn set with a boss riding a drake? How about some spirits and ghouls with a lich and necromancer, undead set? Gnolls/beastmen? Demons, with a Raksasha boss, on a flying carpet! Just some ideas...

John Norton

You know, gnomes could be fun - so many ideas, so many stilly face, picks, gadgets, , funny vehicles, bombs even. If you've ever seen the Oathsworn stuff or some of the new Reaper bits from Bones V thats are coming - the anthropomorphic stuff is very cool too. I'd also like to throw in imps, nurglings, snotlings - that sort of thing, you know the daft stuff - although maybe it would have to be as an aside to something else.

Joris Kelderman

preferably Ogres, but if they don't win this poll.. Then the next xD

Sully Your DM (edited)

2026-11-14 07:00 I know everyone's hating on Humans, but honestly finding QUALITY humans is hard to do if you want high detail (Which is why I'm a patron). Orges and Dwarves have been done by every other group. I would like to see some variance in races going forward though, with these 3 as the only choices I was a bit disappointed. Something like Anthromorphs (Tabaxi, Aarocokra, Werewolves, wererats, werebears, etc) or Aasimar would be awesome counters to the Orcs/Vamps/Mindflayers.
2019-09-03 16:59

Artisan Guild

Hello Kevin, don't worry, with 12 Sets per year we will surely make those soon :) We needed to try to split the votes on 3 choices instead of 4 to give more chances to races that almost won older polls. For sure we will keep whetever have a major number between the last 2 for the next poll, and incorporate new races :)

Ravyn Schmidt

Humans would be amazing, especially if we had a nice range of soldiers. Something that looks like it could be part of an army together. I'd love to be able to set up dudes and lady-dudes with shields covering spearmen, who have archers in the back. Paladin on a armored unicorn (w/ cloven hooves and lions tail) or paladin on Winged Lion would be amazing. For the Larger figs, maybe some winged angle like beings w/ lion faces, or "warforged" types, and of course, a wizard. Oh man, there is a lot of cool things.

Robert Johnson

oh man, im super stoked for those ancient fire dwarves, reminds me of matt collvile's dwarves in "priest." maybe some day after the masses get their exciting... human... fighters... °_____° and wow, the mount is a... horse. lol, im sure yall will do a good job with them, but damn. countless humanoid races and creatures in fantasy and people want to play with boring stuff that already exists in the real world?

Simon Kingaby

Really? Humans over centaurs? Come on! Those centaurs will be incredible! Either way, I love the models you guys make and look forward to every release!

Robert Johnson

Lol alright... Well heck, going that route, why not have wings all around and they're all Aasimar! 😅

Bernat Rovira Lastra

What about horse with wings (Pegasus) and horse with horn (unicorn) and both together? What about with and without armour? Maybe is asking too much but it can be amazing!!

Zach Wood

I have so many dwarves now...

Nasty Butler

Would love to see some Paizo head style goblins in various levels of equipment. It's really hard to find armored, monk, or anything other than just NPC looking style.

Tlactar

Oh god, I hope you'll do the other two later, too! Looks like "boring" humans at the moment. 😅

Tlactar

Oh man, there's a wyvern with the ogres! And a pig! Come on guys!

Generalnuke

Dwarfs and Orgs were always going to be hard to get because their races were released before. There are many ways the humans can be made unique having spell marks or elemental magical twists. Storm clerics with lightning effects paladins divine smite ext. If we are going with human fighters is there away to get spell casting effect modular (druids clerics wizards) or do you want to separate the fighters and spell casters for different months?

John Norton

I'm seeing a fair few people after anthropomorphic characters, is that something you'd consider putting up for the vote? Personally I'd like to see variety rather than a single type, not sure on period though, Victorian could be cool, as could fantasy.

with 12 sets per year we surely will do that soon :) We prefer sculpting fantasy tough

Irongills

I would love to see at least one weapon option be a polearm of some kind. I'm always looking for good human miniatures that I can use for characters....I love me some polearm master in 5e!

James

It'd be cool to do different cultural models too for humans like Arabian, African, Asian, Scottish, etc... I know that is out of the scope of one month's releases, but just some food for thought. You could also do different mounts like camels, ostriches, tigers, pandas, etc.

Pandventures

I second the Pandas! We need Panda cavalry
