Hello friends! Please turn on the audio and click play on the video above: we are really excited to show you the trailer of the next month 3d printable release: the Plague-Mine Kobold Set!
As always, we are also providing some lore for our models, few words to share with our community what inspired us to make these sculpts. In fact, every model from our releases follow a story which is developed sketch after sketch.

If you are looking for this month (August) Monthly Release, as Patron you can download it here.

PLAGUE-MINE LORE & PICTURES

Our Modular figures are provided with ball-jointed wrists and a wide array of weapons for infinite customization, to give you the tools to make your perfect encounter/army. We use a custom 32mm  scale (for the average human).

6 Plague-Mine Kobolds (modular) 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. Adventurers should never underestimate Kobolds: their innate abilities to brew potent poisons, stab and hide could catch even the most veteran soldiers off guard.

Kornutaaz the Plaguemancer (modular)
Plaguemancers are highly cunning Kobolds blessed by Melmor, the god of plague and shapeshifters. According to the Plague Queen's plans, Kornutaaz is the perfect Kobold to bring pestilence and death to the surface world. After all, he earned his place as herald by taming the monstrous Plague Zeek tunneler. Kornutaaz will make sure the metal extracted by dwarves and humans will be cursed and highly toxic.

Doggoz the Cagemaster (modular)
Even if the Plague Queen favor the plague bringer and poisonous spellcasters, her clan need a strong and imposing general to command the swarm of undisciplined Kobolds  to battle. Doggoz is the biggest and baddest Kobold, perfect to subdue large amount of minions and lead them to victory. He loves to bring pieces of his victims inside his little backpack-cage... who knows what's inside that now?

Ishtarra the Plague Queen (modular Pinup)
Chosen by the God of Plagues Melmor, Ishtarra is a powerful enchantress whose role is to conquer the great cities of humans by raising an immense horde of Kobolds right under their feet, in the sewers. Her quest will be of vital importance when the Soulless armies of Tialevor will besiege the human fortifications: endless waves of Kobolds will emerge from mines and sewers to weaken the cities them from within. Even if she appears as a sort of beautiful lady, one know the true origin and appearance of this witch, as for many other worshipers of the Shapeshifter god Melmor.

Diggaz the Plague Zeek (Beast & Mount)
Among the largest and deadliest Zeeks who infest the lands, the Plague Zeeks are probably the most terrifying. Giant armored worm-like monstruosity from the depths who spread death and plague, capable of causing earthquakes and destroy a town in few minutes. The Kobolds decided to build a platform on top of the beast to shoot spells and arrows: lucky, Kobolds compensate their lack of wisdom with their huge number. It is said that Kornutaaz managed to tame this huge beast with powerful sorceries and by hatching the egg himself. He called the thing... Diggaz.
This model is suited to be used as any kind of giant worm or grick.

Melmor Shrine (terrain)
This improvised Shrine of the sewers is dedicated to the God of Plague and Shapeshifting Melmor. It might not be the most glorious altar, but it serve the purpose of the Kobolds.     

Now let's get back to work! We still need to convert most of the heavt Zbrush models to perfect lightweight STL. All the models will come pre-supported by 3dPrintingPro and we are correcting any kind of errors as he test-print the models. 

This Set will be available on day 3rd September 2020!
Have a great weekend :)

I think the jumping kobold with the pick might be one of your most interesting and dynamic sculpts yet

Jake Thurston

They all look the same... I thought there was going to be some variation so we’d have replacements for Quaggoths, bugbears, Gnolls and kobolds... the worm is cool tho

Mario Hernandez

That is amazing! The epic sculpt has he me so hyped for next month!

John

Loving Valkaya The Fallen!

Zak

Oh my damn these look so good! And that worm is next level amazing!

genuxb

A lot better than what I was expected. You never cease to amaze me Artisan Guild!

Jason

I think they had different horns/beards

wordflyer

why though? I don't recall any implication there would be bugbears, etc.

Björn Burkart

Wow love the sneak peak of the epic boss 🤘🏻hope you post some more pictures from her soon

Milo_Jones

DAAAAAAAAAAAMN!! They look good!!!

2026-11-14 07:00 They look really good! I’d have loved the pinup to have a tail, or more kobold-like feet, instead of being basically a human body with a weird dragon head stuck on it, but after reading the bit of lore it makes more sense. It’s more of a personal preference. Either way, gorgeous work as always, and looking forward to the release <3

Usually with other brands, I don't care much about Kobolds, but these are awesome, I voted for them anyway. You have exceeded my expectations, that Zeek Worm is amazing and I love the temple piece. Great dynamic minis.

Nekko

There are different ones of all the same race. I think you need to go back an re-read the original post. It states that they are kobolds and could be used for "(proxies: Kobolds, Demons, Rat-folk, even twisted Gnoll if scaled up)". So not sure where you got the idea they were all going to be different races. The proxie portion is a direct quote from their description in the poll release.

Brad Baillio

I love the Shovel and Pickaxe as weapons for these ferocious beasts!

James Harrison

The leaping Kobold and the one with the shovel and candles are awesome! The wurm is amazing and the teaser for the epic boss has me itching for its release!

Daniel Rivera

I was not for them... boy was I wrong!

The Painted Wookie

I was worried for the pinup being to rat like but it’s great idea love the sculpt no pants and nipple guards that’s how I roll too as a Wookie ;)

Hans-Walter

You tricked us on the kobold pinup... 😜😂Awesome job as usual! And the flail... Oh, i already love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

honestlyaunicorn .

This set looks fantastic! I was super hoping for an actual Kobold pin up though. They deserve their pin ups too!!

Miles Lewis

Very cool. Love the plague/toxin effects.

Kristoff

Finally the pinup's can be used as minatures! More Ball Joints on All The Things!

Kristoff

I totally want Ratfolk now

Dwayne Spencer

I love the crate backpacks and candles. Can't wait to print them all!

Amy Holzeard

I love this SO much! I can't wait.

James Weaver

Those kobolds are just... wow! Amazing! Best kobold minis I have ever seen and I love me some kobolds. Good choice on not making a sexy kobold. lol

shaun

these are awesome!

shaun

would LOVE to see you guys do a version of the purple worm!

Julio Ibarra

I kind of expected them to be more plague-ridden and diseased. They’re cool though!

Lord Chronos

Damn, I was thinking about skipping September (not cause the sculpts that are awesome as always, but I don't like much the theme)... And when I was almost sure of it, the epic boss is shown... So, I suppose I'm in for another month -_-UUU

James Nelson

Dude... you should have a "Take my Money" button for the impatient patrons and for an extra $10 you "Get it NOW?"

Salim Bali

You are getting better each month. Congrats for this great work. I am in.

Matt

Holy crap this looks so good!!!!

Ride or Die Games

These figures look fantastic! However these are definitely not kobolds. Kobolds are dogmen. These are nothing like that. They look like another lot of lizardmen. Great figures but you should call them something else.

Andrew Padilla

Yes! I have waited long for the Kobolds!!!

Jess Thompson

I absolutely adore these sculpts, but have to agree with people above about hoping for a real kobold pinup. I like the current one, but was really looking forward to sexy kobold

Sark's Foundry

Man always you guys did a great set again!

ResinandFilament

these,... are,...so....amazing - sniff - tear

Joshua Grandt

What lore source are you referencing for doglike? It was my understanding that kobolds were dragonoids.

Sean McInnes

1st ed Kobolds only had a text description, where they were described as ‘lizardy’ and tiny with ‘dog-like’ screams. The first time they were depicted was in the first Monstrous Manual, so 2nd ed, where they were illustrated as little dog people. The common understanding is the illustrator forgot about the lizardy part and remembered the dog-like part of the original description when formulating their imagery. Since then, they’ve even been illustrated as goat-like and goblinoid. So really, any of the above descriptions are canon as they’ve all been shown as such in official DnD lore. Therefore, AG’s representations are the most ‘accurate’ I’ve seen of a kobold race! (I’m only new to DnD in grand scheme of things, but HOLY HECK I love a good lore dive!)

Sean McInnes

As I replied above, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that these can be proxies for all the various interpretations of Kobolds over the years, lizard like, dog like, goat like even goblinoid to an extent! I also adore how adaptable the pin up is! It could easily be a tribal Tiefling too!!! Great work AG! As always, I let out a sigh of disappointment when the kobolds won; “yay, another addition to the overflow of kobolds on the market”. But these are brilliant and I’ve been proved wrong again!

Jenelle McGuire

This may become my new favorite set!! Holy crap these look great!

Matterbeast

Looking fantastic! Cant wait. I will say I am a little sad that the staff from the concept art didn't make the final release. That thing looked awesome.

The Painted Wookie

The kobold is a sprite stemming from Germanic mythology and surviving into modern times in German folklore. Although usually invisible, a kobold can materialize in the form of an animal, fire, a human being, and a candle.

The Painted Wookie

kobolds were described as dog-like humanoids with ratlike tails, horns and hairless scaly skin, and were not associated with dragons.

Artisan Guild

It depends from the setting really :) my first meeting with Kobolds was on Baldur's Gate... In the second edition they were mostly little dogs :)

Mark Theurer

I really didn't want kobolds. I mean really! But then I saw the video and find them so full of character that you changed my mind. Great stuff!

Erik Watts

Holy Crap, Same. these lil buggers will torment my players for years to come.

Christoph Gruber

Showed this to my DnD group. Now they all want their next characters to be kobolds. What have I done...

Greg Kourakos

Every time something wins a poll, that I didn't want to win the poll, AG flips my bias around and makes me fall in love with it! Amazing stuff!

Richard Bowers

If you mix in Twin Goddess's next month, you can add bards to the party, too. They have a Kobold mariachi band coming .

estrus

OUTSTANDING ... as always

Moritz

I LOVE the guy with the candles on his shoulders! Amazing work as always!

Megazard

The cagemaster looks e p i c

Alex Bale

Will there be a way to get the epic I'm going to miss as I didn't know about this until August.

Glitterwolf

As a Patreon all epic bosses are 50% off, so that's one way for sure.

Artisan Guild

We added it, thanks for telling us! We almost forgot eheh

Vaughn allen

Looking forward to printing and painting these, and I wasn’t really for kobolds at all, great job on the set.

tj

That checks Kobold off my list of need's, now I just need some rat people's.

Fogo

These look to be my favourite collection from Artisan Guild. I love your creativity guys, and the value for money brings to the 3d printing community. My only wish is that more people share their paint jobs for inspiration and learnings.

seth mearkle

Anyone else watch the preview video and notice how they were all sneaky with the Epic boss? I almost passed over her! I can't wait for the set and knowing she's coming soon too is more than I can handle.

crayonbrains

I am so into this release! Ya'll are killin it.

Chris Matchett

Epic boss? Or regular celestial upscaled?

Greg Kourakos

not sure how to answer except I have seen her and I'm sure everyone will be very happy... I'd call her epic for sure

Alan Crooks

YES! This looks amazing - love it!

seth wheelock

Right? NGL I'm pretty underwhelmed, especially with the all the feathered wings from the gryphkin coming just before this. Definitely not as much wow factor as the previous bosses.

Richard O'Keeffe

I am about to get a 3D printer, is there a way to buy this Kobold pack, its amazing!
