Right click and open in a new tab for higher resolution.

Hi guys! And welcome to a new exciting month at Artisan Guild!
This month for the first time, everyone will get his hands over the Pre-Supported models once the release is out in 1/2 days. Of course the regular STL will be also available as always! If you have pledged during April (based on Patreon timezone) but you hadn't the time to download the Set, please send us a private message here on Patreon, we will sort it out!
It's now time to vote for the release coming in June. As for this month, the Oni Clan will be available reeeeally soon, along with two super cool extra heroes!

We are really excited to announce that we are currently testing The Ashen Throne, our role playing game. We are working on it since 2008! We are not launching an open beta at the moment, we need additional testing before translating into english.
It features a completely new system and it's based on our universe of course.
The fourth option in this Poll will be really useful once the game it's out, check it's quick description below :)

Themes Descriptions

And here a simple description on each theme models. Please remember that these factions/races are not based on existing settings, we are building up our universe that will be used for a Role-Playing Game (cuttently in alpha testing).
As we develop the theme concept we possibly make some little changes.

• 
  Worshipers of the ancient Shapeshifter God Melmor, the Kobolds are ignoble lizard-dog horned demons who move around hopping on two legs. These short wicked monsters infest mines by stealing precious minerals and replacing it with toxic ones in order to spread the plague of their god. Kobolds love to make fun of larger creatures by making horrible mockeries, like replacing children in their beds with Kobold puppies; to enter unnoticed human towns, they use their innate ability to shift into dogs. Additionally to mines, cities with sewage systems are teeming with these evil beings. Kobolds are very keen: few of them can boast great Arcane powers and many of them become expert thieves. No adventurer, initiate or veteran, should ever underestimate a Kobold.  
• Bear-Tribe Great Goblins
  We like the idea goblin of any size and variety. Great Goblins from the Bear-tribe are the biggest mountain goblinoids in our universe, towering creatures with a fair amount of fur. They live in the mountains, and survive raiding human settlements, otherwise working as mercenaries for Orcs or evil barons from time to time. Great Goblins are less smart than tinkerer goblins from the Sparksoot Tribe, but are disciplined enough to have a strict military society and assemble little armies. Most of their equipment and armors will be scavanged from human resources, such horse metal armor here and there, peasant cloths and so on. Door as shield could be an idea!  
• Eye-Cult Gryphkin
  Gryphkins are the people of the wind and the sky. These six-limbed creatures are covered in feathers and capable of great cunning and agility. The Cult of the Eye, however, is the most esoteric group of Gryphkins. They seek a powerful artifact called Eye of Tialevor, and their perpetual quest to obtain it has corrupted their hearts and appearence.  
• Scourgeland Survivors
  This Set will be really useful as we will launch our Role Playing Game (currently in alpha).
  Scourgelands, Ashen Era. This place was called the Great Arverian Wood centuries ago, but things suddenly changed. (trying to be quick...) Here, the struggle between the forces of good and evil has already taken place. Tialevor, along with his Ashen Alfar, is the terrifying Tyrant-God who subjugated most of the of world and finally won the war against the free people with the release of a cataclysm. Most of the ancient forests are now desert of ashes, called the Scourgelands.  He now sits on the Ash Throne, built with the ashes and bones of the ancient Dragon-God Ghaomir, who fought the last battle on the side of the free people.
  Here in the Scourgelands, the tribes of human survivors struggle for survival in these inhospitable ashen lands. There will be no battle between good and evil: only the fight to survive against hunger, the ash-storms  and the Zeek, the monstrous arthropods of chitin that reign undisputed in the wild lands. This Set will is composed by an assortment of Scourgeland Survivors humans who adapted to live as nomads in these ashen lands. Some of them will be Hunter, few will be Egg-Thieves (stealing giant Zeek eggs in the most dangerous places to feed their tribe) or Zeek smugglers (steling Zeek lifestock breed from the Ashen Alfar). One Hero will be surely the old Wise Woman, who lead the tribe, teach the children how to survive and have the skills to cast some shamanic spells. Most of their equipment will be made of Zeek chitin, one of the only resources available in their environment. The beast will be probably a specific Zeek that work as mount.

Oh, and by the way, being the Scourgeland an harsh desert with shells of ancient gigantic Zeek here and there, some of them had been converted into taverns. Like you enter the dead shell of a gigantic arthropod, inside it there are  downstair leading to a huge inn, with places to drink, sleep, mercenaries of any sort and so on. Perfect place to start an adventure in the Ashen Throne role playing game. The Zeek Shell Tavern (at least exterior!) will be the Terrain piece if this faction win.

One of the Scourgeland taverns. 

About the topic "what's in the Poll", there are no rules on what gets out and what get reworked. We are simply sketching what we are inspired to sculpt.  How many Sculpts will be part of the winning theme?
