JUNE 2021 on BESTIARUM ║ PREVIEW post 1
Added 2021-05-26 10:19:14 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
It's a good time to share with you our work in progress of the upcoming June release!
► LOCATION:
Spires of the Alchemical Academy
…
(The whole story read in the Description of the Location)
…
▪ After the magic explosions have devastated most of the city- Allstein, only the upper parts of the towers belonging to the Alchemical Academy stayed floating in the skies, for their walls were saturated with enchantments.
▪ There are enough masters, alchemists and blacksmiths left in the numerous spires of the Alchemical Academy.
▪ After the calamity had struck, the Spirers started reconstructing and rebuilding the infrastructure of the Academy, leaning towards a more isolationist policy.
▪ Rumors began spreading that the Spire Masters are creating something that will one day save the world - but whether they do it on their own accord or by the will of some more powerful entities, remains unknown.
And the nature of their creation is even a greater mystery.
▪ The Alchmancers have built a vault within the Academy, fed by the forces of the Void, so that no one would learn their secrets and ruin their plans, and they also hire mercenaries and train soldiers of their own to guard their knowledge.
▪ These guardians do the best armor and carry the best firearms and flameseeders the Spires can produce.
Are you ready for the new adventure?

Oh my goodness. How many variations on the basic infantry are planned?

2021-06-04 13:44:37 +0000 UTCSo im pretty new to the Patreon group, ive been supporting BM through MMF for nearly the last 7 months for one off models as the sculpts are incredible. When I first saw this release, I wasnt sure it was going to really be something that I would be into, as I am supporting this Patreon to help with getting unique miniatures for my D&D group, so I was sad at the first look. However I will say that after thinking about it for a while, this months release has given me a lot of inspiration to add an area to my world with a bit higher tech than everywhere else, and I have already come up with some interesting ideas as to how this would work in a truly high fantasy setting. Thank you BM, for inspiring me through your creations, and thanks for your energy you put into your release sets. Im certainly becoming more of a fan boy every time I stop by and look around.

2021-06-03 23:49:28 +0000 UTCThese look awesome, I love the muskets. People need to remember, fantasy is fantasy. Meaning there are no "rules", and the lore explanation is excellent! I do have to agree with one above comment, more fat dudes! Lol

2021-05-31 20:55:49 +0000 UTCI fully support your view of your universe. Diversity is the key to bringing a background to life. Now ... I can't wait for the June wave anymore :)

2021-05-31 20:28:31 +0000 UTCkitbash will be available as always mate :) Glad you like them!

2021-05-31 12:23:32 +0000 UTCFriends sorry for long silence with the reply to comments. Insane workload, this month we need to release earlier then 20th LOL. BTW we are on the last iterations. Most of the models ready! Massive pleasure to read your comments! sorry to know not everyone is happy with the release :) but it happens guys we cant meet everyone taste. All releases are done with love and passion. Spirers are part of our Bestiarum universe. In lore we explain why they have more advanced guns then ordinary folks. Those are fraction of exceptional artisans. It is made intentional to show the contrast between two releases. Scrappers who live in dirt and Spirers from the floating Spires of the destroyed Allstein See you soon on the release! hope you'll enjoy it! Cheers, Alexei

2021-05-31 12:22:36 +0000 UTCMassive thanks for kind words and for the support! Those guys are part of our Bstiarum universe. Yeah maybe it is not classical fantasy models and got some more modern stuff. But we really wanted to make something fresh!
Alexei Popovici
2021-05-31 12:11:32 +0000 UTCThank you! There will come Kitbas set as always, with few guns and one pistol as option. But with rifles is always a pain to make them interchangeable so i am not sure if those fit other troops. I think the best option for other units will be the pistol. But let's see release is still in progress :)
Alexei Popovici
2021-05-31 12:04:20 +0000 UTCyoull get at least one for sure :) Corruptor was inspired by those rotten bastards! Also there will be 2 big boys what can fit the theme )
Alexei Popovici
2021-05-31 12:01:46 +0000 UTCMassive thanks! Unfortunately those particular guys wont have crossbows in core set. the whole idea is having them to stand out from the all other troops. Mysterious technologies developed by the most experienced artisans of the kingdom but as usual there will be a kitbash set where you can buld items what may fit your needs better :)
Alexei Popovici
2021-05-31 11:59:49 +0000 UTCHell yeah! that would be a really badass idea for release. I'll think with guys about it. I saw only anime haven't checked the manga's themselves. But felt in love with the universe. Brutal stuff :)
Alexei Popovici
2021-05-31 11:56:42 +0000 UTCthank you! that's the key to keep all models from the same universe, even if their equipment seems more modern :) they are the best weaponsmiths on those lands who knows what other technologies they came up with!
Alexei Popovici
2021-05-31 11:54:53 +0000 UTCPeople are real sh#t-nosed about the guns. I couldn't be happier

2021-05-28 04:09:06 +0000 UTCLove it :) maybe not fantasy, but for those who like the last and current release could use it for DG 40k . Keep doing what inspires you, that makes you create the best things :)

2021-05-27 15:12:26 +0000 UTCUgh, guns… I’m out. I’ll monitor and rejoin when this modern stuff is gone. Sucks as it will kill my record of being a member since month one.
Masterwork Miniatures
2021-05-27 15:02:20 +0000 UTCI appreciate the artistry, and I’m sticking around because I’ve so loved what Bestarium has done in the past (and well, that loyalty model too, truth be told) but I agree. This month and June’s preview leaves me feeling rather meh. Just not my jam with the modern accoutrements.

2021-05-27 02:13:30 +0000 UTCAnother month i wont print anything from here :/
Pablo Jara Barría
2021-05-26 23:35:19 +0000 UTCI like the "crude" non high sci-fi guns, option for the other troop too?
Hamilton Hall
2021-05-26 20:32:22 +0000 UTCSo Death Guard/Nurgle cultists and an Ork Nob. I'm in. More fat dudes, please...not that I'd use them for more plague god goodness.
Gunter Schmidt
2021-05-26 15:38:13 +0000 UTCI love the artistry of these models but I won't be able to use the ones with guns for anything. I would love it if there was an option for cross bows instead of guns for our fantasy settings. None-the-less, they are very well done.

2021-05-26 15:33:25 +0000 UTCThese are pretty cool! Great for Turnip models too! You know what I would really like to see? Something in honor of Berserk. I think you guys could really make some cool stuff honoring Miura.
Obscurities in Miniature
2021-05-26 13:33:55 +0000 UTCLove that you're able to equip them with guns while still keeping the strong medieval vibe & compatibility with earlier releases going. Lesser creators might have gone for all-out steampunk.

2021-05-26 11:43:52 +0000 UTCLove it!
Iris Baur
2021-05-26 11:30:10 +0000 UTCI like them. Atm I'm thinking about printing a 10-man squad :D
Mergoth
2021-05-26 11:05:29 +0000 UTCWho would I have to beg and or pay for an entire set of those grunts with guns. They would make theeee best traitor guard I've ever seen!
Cj Eldridge
2021-05-26 11:00:07 +0000 UTCExceptional!! Pleaaaaase add ranged weapons (especially the same guns which are on the models in this release) to the multi-part kit from last months release as I really want to use these as militia for my Horus Heresy Death Guard army, as well as for fantasy stuff.
xander day
2021-05-26 10:31:34 +0000 UTCDamn month after month killin it! I would love to see yall try some gritty dark scifi models some day!
