Edit: Discount Codes are finally working! They are on the bottom of this post ^^

Hello guys! It's finally day 1st, and as always is time to vote for the next month theme: September Monthly Release.
How has been your month? Beside sculpting too many feathers for this month's Release, we also polished a lot the rules of our quick skirmish game, GUILDS.
After 4 years of progress we could make a Patron's Beta soon!
GUILDS will be free for our supporters of course.

As always, this monthly release will be available on day 3rd, the Gryphkins, perfect as proxy for any kind of bird fantasy race.

If you have pledged during the last month (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!

  • Frostmetal Clan
    (proxies:  Heavy Ogre & Orcs, DeathKnights, Blackguards and Evil Champions)
    The old Ironskin Ogre option spiced up a bit. These elite heavy armored Ogre (and Orcs) from the frozen north are bound to an ancient oath that makes them immortals, and are capable unleash unholy powers, damning the souls of their opponents.
    Heavy metal armor, chains, some fur cloaks, runes, and damnation effect will be some key design of this set.

  • Bear-TribeGreatGoblins
    (proxies:  Bugbears mostly, in the pack there will be probably few Goblins too)
    Great Goblins are the biggest mountain goblinoids in our universe, towering creatures 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, weapons made from old tools, shield from doors and so on.

  • Plague-Mine Kobolds
    (proxies: Kobolds, Demons, Rat-folk, even twisted Gnoll if scaled up)
    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. Cities with sewage systems are teeming with these evil and keen beings. 

We have no rules on what gets out and what get reworked. We are simply sketching what we are inspired to sculpt, some time adding new options if we have a great idea or make truly concepts.

For us it's also super important that every new Patron have the ability to vote, that's why we don't make a single poll every season, but we do one at the beginning of each new month.

What's in the (digital) Box
Once a theme wins we will immediately start further developing ideas and making sculpts.
Models will come in STL: normal and presupported ones.
At the moment we are also providing the Chitubox files, but this could change soon if we end up supporting with a more efficient software or plugin. In ant case, all supports are placed one by one by hand! Here what a Monthly Release will contains:

  • 6 Modular Miniatures with Swappable Weapons, for infinite combinations!

  • Standalone Weapons for Loot, customization and our Weapon Racks!

  • 2 "Over-the-Top" Hero Miniatures.

  • 1 Mounted version of a Hero.

  • The Riderless Mount as standalone Beast.

  • 1 Pinup, suitable as Miniature or display collectable.

  • A Scatter Terrain themed on the release.

  • A Sculpted special Base for each Miniature.

  • GUILDS Scrolls: Monthly Releases could soon include Beta Stats for our game GUILDS. Beta because as we only have 1 month to make the models there's never enough time to testing. 

DISCOUNT CODES ARE FINALLY UP!

  • ARTISANCOLLECTION -30% on all our previous releases 1 to 10 each month.
    Supported files for Resin are slowly being added to every single file too.
    Complete & Supported Bundles Here!

  • WHOISTHEBOSS? -50% on every Epic Boss released so far!  

  • Soon the Orc Barbarian Set will be upgraded with more models and modular heroes on MMF and sent to all the original Patrons of 2019 July. A code will be made for them too!

Hans-Walter

C'mon, let's empty the poll with the "old" options, let's get the kobolds win this time! :D

Alex Lightfoot

I said I’d go kobold if you went for bird boys, and here we are, bring on the kobolds!

Michael Brown

This is the month that the kobolds win, then the goblin bears. Everyone is happy!

Chris Matchett

Icewind Dale demands frosty minis. Rime of the Frostmaiden publishes in September.

Frank Quinn

I'll back kobolds this time if the bear tribe get the same affection next month dudes. Thank you AG for listening to your audience and cutting the poll options, please continue this trajectory.

Torsten Senz

What about making the heads and maybe arms of the modulars also modular? I'd love to build an army with AG style but I hate monoposer.

Javier Porrero

Come on guys! No more ogres, let’s do Kobolds and keep rotating the list...

Andre Vo Nyseth

How about some Sci-fi stuff, for games like Starfinder, Shadowrun or Cyberpunk?

J-Zarno .

Kobolds it is! There are plenty ogres and orcs from AG on mmf already.

Hans-Walter

Ofc, my intention is to get all the "old" options, to get a new, clear poll full of news 😁 if New options always win, there's no reason to vote in the poll...

DELPIERRE Thierry

Kobolds powa ! Come on guys ! There is already too much ogres from other Patreon.

BunnyViking

Frostmetal clan has the best concept art, but I'm down for kobolbs and ratmen :D

rcmaniac25

I'm with what others said: let's go through the old poll options so fresh ones can be brought in

Dominic Warwas

Would Love the evil iron ogres but i agree, too many ogres n orcs available already

Boudicca

Rip bugbears

MrE

Definitely the Kobolds... don't have any of those yet... but do have some mines to put them in :)

Frank Quinn

Y'all better remember the bear tribe next month!

Domingos Szabo

Just three :( but its ok , that way its kobold time for sure!:)

Jonnyballday .

Lets get the kobolds epecially after seeing what they did for the birdmen.

Kevin L.

I would love to see the bear clan because there aren't many bugbear minis out there, but Kobolds are great too.

Arisher

Kobolds this time, Bug Bears next one! :)

Hans-Walter

They already replied to a question like this a while ago... If they go modular also with heads, the chance that ppl copy their work increase drastically (if i remember correctly)

Brady Hargett

I really want to see all 3 of these, but I've been wanting Kobolds since they were introduced and hope they will this time

Hans-Walter

They will see the light in October, do not despair 😉

The Daruma

We've had plenty of ogres here already, so I'm hoping for kobolds this month, goblins next month.

Tooke

Once again more orcs and ogres. You need to stop including these in the polls as people just keep voting for them for some reason. We need a bit of variety Orcisan Guild

jack thompson

Kobolds will be a fun addition, still waiting on the Tortle Folk option though ;)

Neil young

Come on folks every month people beg for the kobolds. Share the love a little

Sean

"YOU TAKE NO CANDLE!" Kobolds for the win.

Kelly

Why no love for the Bear Clan? Orcs and Ogres are everywhere, am so over them. Kobolds are out there... but Bug Bears and Hobgoblins are almost impossible to find.

Kristoff

Plague Doctor Kobold Pin-Up....sold....with an underground mole mount with a tiny lantern dangling in front of his face - would be awesome

Hans-Walter

Simply because kobolds were high in place in ALL the last polls, were they finished in the second place... Last month the community decided to stop this, and the unity of birds, kobolds and goblins supporter united their forces to let the birds win... Now it's the turn for the kobolds, just for fairness, and in October the vote will go for the bug bears (trusting in the community's honesty and loyalty 😜)

Glitterwolf

In the end we want it ALL don't we :-) Kobolds are my favorite from these three. In the future I would love to see more Snakepeople, Frogpeople, Mummies, Zombies etc Maybe another human faction in conquistadore style armor? Or Elephant/Rhino/Hippo People? Dragonborn? Goat/Pig/Wolfmen?

Artisan Guild

Argh we almost forgot that Kobold would have a Pinup too :O

2026-11-14 07:00 My D&D group has a habit of choosing races and classes that are hard to find as stl's. I have thousands of files and belong to several Patreons but still have problems finding the perfect mini. Right now, I need a goliath barbarian/sorcerer, an earth genasi wizard and a white dragonborn rogue. Any sets for these races and classes would be great! Any other DM's out there have players who seem to create the most random characters possible? Seriously, though, a genasi set would be quite cool... The minis could have features of the standard elements of earth, air, fire, water or combinations such as magma, mud, steam or dust. Hopefully they could be equipped to represent several different classes...

Moritz

I like all three of them. Still gonna vote for bugbears because... Bugbears! ;)

Christian Fudala

Thanks everyone who voted for the Birds last month! Keeping my promise to vote for Kobolds!

Vaughn allen

Would have given my vote to the goblinoids if it had some full military kitted hobgoblins to lead it.

The Painted Wookie

A rat looking like a pinup..... eww Cant be done... Id say make the pinup in a cage who is a captured beauty of another race......? :)

Hans-Walter

If you're looking for these models, castnplay release this month a bundle that fits your search for almost 2/3 (goliath and genasi) :)

3DHobbyPrints

@Artisan Guild if it comes out similar to the Lizardfolks pin-up I'm all for it!

Robert A Lopez

What happens if you forget to download the previous months I forgot too and realized when I was at work.

Marcelo Drudi Miranda

Voted for the Kobolds because they remind me of the first dungeon in Baldur's Gate I, which brings me good memories. I'm new here, and didn't know about the community agreement to vote for the Kobolds. But I'm happy to have unconsciously followed the community, and will continue to follow the agreement form the coming months

Artisan Guild

you send us a private message in that case :) Francesca roughly answer to 50-60 of those per day at the beginning of the month providing links for who pledged but didn't download.

Tooke

What happens if like myself, you work away for 3 months at a time so are unable to download as I will be out of the country?

Alexis Coulombe

Thanks everybody who is voting kobold ❤❤

Fabian M

Kobolds and Skaven ftw !!!

Alex K

Hard to find good bugbears and hobgoblins ❤️

TabletopTerrainUK

No love for Bugbears again -_- might as well vote for Frostclan in protest. Screw Kobolds!

Desotar

Remember when the Frostiron Clan was first entered to the Poll as Steel/Iron Orcs & Ogres? I'm so sorry for the people constantly voting for them that they got my vote this month 😀

Beau Lawrence (edited)

Yujin

Come on Frostmetal Clan! great goblin voters join the cause!

Paul West

Reused? You are very mistaken. Artisan Guild doesn't reuse assets, even when they're very similar models. They've shown their process time and time again.

Shannon Badgley

Sci-fi would be the only reason I would cancel for a month. There are sci-fi artists out there, and I doubt the majority of their patrons would want fantasy months.

Shannon Badgley

This month I'm not really excited about any options. But I finally got my gryphkin, and I promised to back kobolds this month. I know in the end they will look great.

Dominic Ellis

Dang, wanted the Bug bears instead of more ogres.

Lotty Ash

I will hold out for the bug bears! Hopefully next time.

Mark Tookey

You got me the birds I wanted last month, so Kobolds get my vote this time.

Jimmy Downey

I have been wanting Kobolds for a while but the Frostmetal ogres fit right in with a faction or unholy ogres and orcs in my campaign. Hopefully we get them some day

Nasty Butler

Would go kobold, but I'm not feeling the head sculpt. Going orcs.

J-Zarno .

Ye I really dislike that they have scavenged gear, they should have a custom designed armor set for their race.

J-Zarno .

That's only one of them though

J-Zarno .

Yes, yes we do. What you mean with "another" tho? For as far as I know there are none

Michael Dykes

Voted Kobolds and am excited for them but I really want those Orcs in the near future. Don't need the bugbears.

Mark H.

Bugbears please people PLEASE :(

furballx

There is no community agreement to vote kobolds.... they’ve been an option since like April. People always complain that the “new” option gets selected. Vote for whichever you like each month.

xspartanzx

Kobolds for sure. We just had ogres/orcs, and Artisan Guild already made goblins (it's on their myminifactory site...use the discount code above!)

Taylor & Sheryl

Kobolds this time and Bear clan next month.

Sol Blair

Damn... really really wanting those great goblins. 😢

Syrkres

Yeah, been voting for those for a few months now...

Wallywest317

Not sure why people still want kobolds. Can someone explain why? Seems like a waste when it is pretty much a fodder monster that won't be on the table long.

Red Headed Steppeson

So have I, but the Frostmetal Clan really has me even more, ngl. Def want them.

Michael Pescuma (edited)

2026-11-14 07:00 They're also a playable race in D&amp;D 5e.

Mark H.

but we have so many ogres. The oni clan, the marauders, and now these ones. I just want some dope looking bugbears :/

Jojo

I have at least 2 players super excited who are playing Kobolds our next campaign who are praying for these...so speak for yourself :p

Nasty Butler

Never been a fan of the narrow canine style head for kobold

Christian Fudala

Think of how many DnD campaigns start at low level and need to fight goblins or kobolds initially. You'll have plenty of use for these forever, on top of PC Kobold races, and fun replacements for goblins in skirmish wargames.

2026-11-14 07:00 Need Kobolds and Bugbears for D&amp;D - most of the sessions I DM are low level 1 to 5 as groups tend to break up after that because of RL drama and what-not. So Im always starting new groups and that means kobolds, goblins, bugbears, gnolls - and then if the group stays alive and together orcs and ogres.

Jonny Sanity

Omg finally kobolds!!! Been wanting them to win for months. I squadded up with the bird folks last month, thanks for returning the favor!

xspartanzx

Mostly because Kobolds are a super fun monster that can be used at any point of a campaign, and there's not a lot of good Kobold models out there. Plus, we've already had goblins and there are already two Orc/Ogre sets (Oni and the original set). But to each their own! I'm hoping that we get to have them all at some point!

2026-11-14 07:00 If you guys work through the list without adding new sets to pick from, voting becomes almost meaningless. PS. Despite me not wanting Birbs in the first place, that Gryphkin set is looking good! &lt;3

Michelle Oakes

Made a promise :) Picked Kobolds and will pick Bears next! I don't even know how you do a pinup with these, haha.

Efesto

Go kobolds gooooo! XD

Skye Winter

Bears seem pretty 'meh' to me. The other two look pretty good though

Bradley Flores

As promised last month I voted Kobolds.

Brad Marsh

More orca and ogres? ugh

Robert szymczak

Would have said Bugbears if it was going to be just Bugbears...

James Harrison

I too joined the "movement" and did Birds last month so we can sort out the older options :) this month i'm back with my Kobolds and next month I'll give Bugbears some luvin'.

Robert szymczak

Agree 100%, Kobolds are one of the easiest model to find out on the market represented in a huge amount of ways.

Robert szymczak

Ya, would have been better if it was just Bugbears and not Gobliniods

Steev Turnbull

All of these are amazing ideas, and I would like them all over time 😁 but I love my rats so kobolds

Hans-Walter

May i suggest some inspiration from magic the gathering inezumi's artwork? Ninja female rat, armed with a kusarigama and riding the up-mentioned mole... Really cool and good looking imho 😃😉

Elliott Blackburn

vampires from a long time ago. Id be down to them just re-releasing it pre-supported and adding a few more stuff to it

Fabian M

All join the "movement" last month birds this month kobolds !

Jacob Vandever

I would love to see y'alls take on some Halflings in the future.

Michelle Oakes

Really like the chitubox files, if you change please consider keeping working files so they can be edited if needed.

TreeSauce

Y'all finally gave me my bird people. Now it's time to complete the pact. Kobold o'clock

Hans Karding

I would love to see you so Githyanki and Githzerai

Andre Vo Nyseth

There might be other out there creating sci-fi, but they are not the Artisan Guild. Fantasy is more than plenty. Starfinder f.eks is a mix of fantasy and sci-fi, elves and orcs with laserrifles and spaceships.

Bigbeer

Heavily armored evil champions and humanoids. I can't even imagine how good youze guys would do this! Umm, yes please!

DMChase

Kobolds!!! And proper kobolds at that. Lizard-dogs! Not tiny lizard people, not dog goblins, but a mix of the 2. ^_^

ThabianGD

Man I'd love some Halflings to act as alternate gnoblars. It'd be much fun to make a complete army of 'Iron Chefs'

Leinhart

man, I have wanted those Kobolds for awhile. But orcs will always get my vote! Those guys would be amazing!

Zachary Rucker

I have never wanted something more than I do now.

Diogo Gonçalves

I have been called... I must answer... Always...

Ron Staton

Great stuff as usual but some desert ratmen on kangaroo rats would be awesome too ;)

Diogo Gonçalves

A pact is a pact, it was bird this month in trade of kobolds... Althoug I love orcs alot... I must honor it. Kobolds it is

Jason Moore

Maybe it's time to ditch the bear clan and replace with something else? It keeps getting last place...

Cliffback (edited)

2026-11-14 07:00 I would love Bear Clan, but seems like I'm a minority here :P
2020-08-02 13:32

wordflyer

It's in last place right now because most of the people who want it are voting kobolds. Kobold crew will vote greatgoblins next month.

MacPherson Minis

It's my number 1 choice also. But if I vote for something and see that it's REALLY far behind, I then switch to my second choice. Like my own version of ranked choice voting, lol

Kelly

Not fodder when you start adding class levels to them. Try running up against a 20th level Kobold wizard

Travis Cox

Am I finally going to get kobolds? I'm so excited!

DMChase

I mean yeah, but they're #2 to the kobolds in my opinion. If the Kobolds win, I'm probably voting bugbears for a while unless something really surprising comes up.

Ian Hayman

Theres a lot of discussion in the FB group to have the bear and kobold people vote for kobolds this time, then bug bears next time.

Sam T.

iT IS TIME MY KOBOLD BROTHERS! KEEP THE CLAN AT BAY!

Sam T.

It's kobold time boys

Robb

Noooooooo! Great Goblins! We need bugbears with door-shields!!!

Ted LeBeau

I am so excited for the Kobolds.

Zak

There are never enough kobolds in the world

Alexander Keith

Was hoping for frostmetal, but I'm sure you guys will do fantastic kobolds

David Matos

Gyphkin tribe, time to unite behind the Kolbolds, an Oath was taken

J-Zarno .

The gryphkin movement lives on, I am proud.

Houston Taylor Bush

It seems inevitable that the Frostmetal Clan will be made, so I've decided to vote for the backlog to clear it up since apparently the bugbears and kobolds have been on the polls for forever. So then we can get fresh new stuff on the polls. I want all of it anyway, so it's just a matter of time.

Robert Wentzell III

Kobolds. The smaller Gryphinkins I want to use as Kenkus

helloyesthisisdog

Good luck with making a sexy kobold. bet it'll be an even bigger challenge than a sexy gryphkin!

Dungeons Deep

I would love to see a group of humanoids in lighter armors. Less "flashy" maybe. like a band of thugs and robbers.

Dungeons Deep

none of these options really conjure the word "sexy" I suggested sacrifice or captive slave before with the lizardfolk...but I think they like the challenge and even the absurdity.

Dungeons Deep

oh shit! or some we folk gnomes and halflings to battle the kobolds...:D

Glitterwolf

Pixies, Fairies and Brownies and such

Jo Pope

The Frostmetal ones seem most likely to be of use to me, so they get the vote, but beyond that orcs with a Mongolian flair, "tieflings" with a samurai flair, and high elves/eladrin are all high on my personal wishlist.

Tim

Ugh. I guess they had to win eventually.

Tim

I'd love to see some high Aelves that I could run alongside my Lumineth Realmlords.

Tim

They are making their way set by set with the presupports. The vampires will come in due time.

Tim

I've been hammering that Tortle drum since day one of the Patreon. I think with their art style, they're missing a real opportunity with not doing Tortle.

Tim

Tooke, probably need to just give a friend/family member your login and have them download the sets for you while away. That's probably easiest.

Michael Brown

Thank you to all that kept their word to vote for kobolds this time. Let’s finish out the pact next time and get those bug bear goblins made too!

Anonymous

Really wanted Bugbears but knew they wouldn't get the vote, so finally switched my pick. Maybe once Kobolds get made they will get a chance.

Robb

Switching from bugbears to kobolds with the hope that kobold votes will help get bugbears over the line next month

evanbanjo

Whew. I didn't see the poll posted until today for some reason, but damn I'm glad the Plague-Mine Kobolds won. They were my vote (with a close second on the Frostmetal Clan)!

Pandaxsaurus

I know its probably been asked but do you guys have tabaxi in the future at all?
