April Trailer!

Hello friends!
March is almost over and I finally ended the last sculpt for coming next month.
You are invited to click play on the trailer above :)

As you might know, Dwarves are my favourite figures, and I always try to make one set of them each year. April is my birthday and I really wished to make some new cool dwarves from scratch: the earliest had been made with so much less experience in modeling.

I thought making something I really wish for would make things easier, as I was almost burn out of sculpting, but wow... with personal expectations so high and so few days in a month, this has been a really crazy ride, I lost track of how many hours I sculpted each day and how many lunches and dinner I skipped.
But it looks like it was worth it: I made a worthy set of Dwarves, and to me they are totally enough to compete with my previous Lok-Badar Defender , the evil Dumloks (Black Flame Dwarves) and the Dwarven Oathbreaker (one of my favourite faction).
I want to mention that making Dwarves I didn't used previous resources on purpose, you'll not see recycled sculpts or decorations from the previous sets. 

THE DWARVES OF SKUTAGAARD

The proud dwarven people of the frozen lands of Skutagaard are known for their stubbornness and courage, a highly customizable set of models that will enrich any adventure. Will you lead them to honorable battles?

Skutagaard, one of the major regions of our universe, located in the mortal realms of Rotvar, is a totally inhospitable places where proud people live in costant conflicts with Dragons, Wyrms, Trolls (you find them in the current release) and the evil forces of the Lich Lord, the Frostmetal Clan.
These Dwarves, unlike the one of Lok-Badar, are costantly going out of the mountain to find resources and hunt, being in costant struggle with Trolls and Giants. Their deeds are sung in the welcoming Hunter Lodge, mead rooms where the dwarves, the free men and elves of Skutagaard warm their heart from the icy winds.

This Set will be released on day 2 of the next month, and if things are going as planned we will launch on Tribe too in the same week.

Happy printing :)

I'd love some dwarven samurai

Mercurius

Thank you! Those are very good, still would like more humans, elves, dwarves, or halflings in an Asian or Arabian style but I appreciate the reply!

Justin Henley

There is a set they released a while back, Rakshakin Headhunters. They have the Arabian vibe. https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-complete-rakshakin-headhunters-presupported-139648 There is also Oni Clan that has an Asian vibe. https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-complete-oni-clan-presupported-122780 Maybe these could be something that might suit you.

Marko

Where would be the place to vote or suggest the next line of miniatures? I would love to see either an Arabian Nights themed set or a Samurai set.

Justin Henley

What do you think about remaking your line as steampunk variants?

Michael Bradley

Big same!!

Emmalee Stanwood

I love this set so much! Dwarves are also my favorite fantasy kin, and not to mention, the female hero for this set happens to be armed/armored in nearly exactly what carry onto the field when fighting in the SCA! Thank you for all of your amazing work ❤️

Emmalee Stanwood

Would like to see a mace/hammer option in there somewhere (besides the Chief). Otherwise, looks great.

Marc J Laude

Love your previews - are you having music composed or are you using someone else's tunes via license or something? I'd love to know more about the music you use and maybe access more/longer pieces!

Thomas

We need a Gnome release. I can't find any that I like anywhere

Drew Mobley

Which song is this playing during the video?

Sak Knows Best

Needs a banner, but I like the dwarves overall

Jesse White

I love your stuff and style. But a 4th set of Dwarves only makes me sad its not a different release.

SnuggleDumpling

Hi, Kent! We will join Tribes next month :)

Artisan Guild

We will be on Tribes next month :)

Artisan Guild

Due to Patreon's current activism in censorship I will be cancelling all of my Patreon subscriptions and leaving the platform. Do you publish your content on any alternative platform such as Subscribestar?

Kent Thorsen

Hi Chris, the post is about the Troll king being available through MMF, but the Artisan guild MMF page does not have a tribes active (although that would be wonderful seeing as I have several tribes running as well). But thank you regardless for taking the time to reply :)

Usernamenotverfied

Looking at the last statement in the post, they are on Tribes as well (MyMiniFactory).

Chris

Not always. Been a few with just clothes and a few just nude. March for instance had no clothes. All the dwarven sets other than the dark dwarves have clothes, though the barmaid came with and without a skirt.

Sporf

AG usually dose 2 versions of the pin up, one clothed and one nude

William Wilson

The bard is the pinup.

Shamrock1916

Also happy with the spears as my Dwarven contingent for my Oathmark army is currently mostly Artisan Guild Dwarves shrunk down about 82% to make them roughly 28 mm scale (for anyone interested the Vampire glaives from a few sets ago look to fit in the dark dwarves hands when I shrink the dwarves down by the 82 % but don't shrink the vampire hands. However I have yet to test this physically. It just looks right in the slicer)

Sporf

Is there anyway to support outside of Patreon? I would hate to stop but currently this is the only one I have left to move away.....

Usernamenotverfied

just joined for this! will the bard have a pin up?

William Wilson

I'm super excited! I love dwarves, and your dwarf models are the best I've seen!

Brian Terrel Jones

Same here. I have more dwarves than any other nonhumans, but these look too good to pass up. Might just have to paint them as Duegar.

Matt Gwinn

I don't really have any use for dwarves but man these look so good that I'm just gonna find some excuse to at least shove the runekeeper into some project I'm working on atm. Also great work on giving dwarves spears,like as much as I like axe wielding dwarves their reach is already so compromised that spears make most sense for them to use.

Barokai Rein

Dwarfs!! Amazing, thanking!

Fa6xahxj 2uduwijdkwk

Dwarfs are looking great. Any news about lunching your TRIBES on MMF?

Radoslaw Bien

This again looks dope. The only thing I wished for, were helmeted versions without the mask.

Benjamin Endeward

I was all set to just be down on this, because I don't wind up using dwarves much and I probably have enough unless they're a bit more samurai-like for my setting's purposes, but then you had a whole group of both male and female dwarves wearing those masks, and I legitimately have a female dwarf wearing a mask very similar to those in art for my campaign setting, so you've sold me on it.

Mercurius

Very classic/folkloric feel to this set...love it! Beautiful details and sculpting. I appreciate that HARP!!...don't have one of those accessories in my library. I hope you'll do more miscellaneous accessories like that in the future. Cheers! :)

Rob Leonard

I’m rather picky about Dwarves, and these are beautiful!! I love the faces on the helmets! There’s no such thing as female Dwarves in the world I play in, so this release is half as big for me and I’m still REALLY looking forward to it! (I do seriously appreciate how you try to make as many females as males in your releases!)

B. Griffith

Amazing set! Thank you for your hard work, I agree with what many others have said, this is possibly your best work! These dwarves are so different from your previous ones, they each have even more character and your own style to them, I love them! And I also agree with everyone saying to take some time off! You deserve it!

Mini Manatee

Thank you for an amazing set. I appreciate the harp for my players and can only hope for more in the future. Take care of yourself.

Dr. Surdock

Would it also be possible to have an expansion in the future? With other dwarves, perhaps more armored but always with this beautiful style, with a forge and a dwarf blacksmith. This set is beautiful and it hasn't come out yet, but I already want more of this dwarves 😅

Vincenzo Gatta

looks awesome!

Podok the Mad

YOOOO some DWARVES! I'm excited for this one, I particularly love the helmets!

Joshua M Erickson

I'm pretty excited for this run. I'm loving the Nordic style trolls

Felix Axson

Gorgeous. I don't know what else there is to say about this fantastic set.

Rosewood

Amazing work Andrea! I jumped on when I saw this month's amazing Ogres and I am definitely staying on now that I've seen the April dwarves! I've been looking for a while for characterful mounted dwarves and heroes and these are perfect!!

Miscreant Miniatures

Fantastic release, I especially love the cave entrance which will make an excellent prop!

Ryan Rieder

The goat riders! Epic models. Can’t wait to print these.

Tarnoc Doino

These look fantastic!!!

Abdul Rahman Khan

I’ve been looking for some dwarves to even out my set for OPR and between this set and the Titanforge set this month I’ll be set.

Nicholas McCurdy

BATTLE GOATS

Darcy Ibson

I love how you model dwarves and dwarf women in particular.

Terra Jones

I haven’t printed anything in two months. I want to print this whole set. I’m excited!

Joseph Orellano

Nice!

Pablo Ortega

They are amazing! Great job!

Empire of Minis

Please (please) can we have a single modular hand with a football? This release is perfect for a Blood Bowl Star Player. Thank you! (please)

Sean John

More dwarves?

Sol Blair

I love that you made a modular harp. Will be useful to match with your old sets for a lot of bards! Great looking month!

Brian John Gabriel

Even the releases I have no use for stll get me excited! These look great! As others have said above, take breaks and look after yourself dude!

James Harrison

I really like these. The trolls will have new foes! The bard and the mountain entrance are pretty cool.

Bill Curran

These look fantastic. But I will mention that I think it’s okay if you want to take a month off. I’d rather lose a month to let you recharge than have you burn out and quit. As others have said, take care of yourself!

Kevin Denehy

These look amazing as always! Definitely agree with the earlier comments about taking care of yourself; you go above and beyond already :)

Lee Perry

These look amazing. They may even be your best work yet.

mirrormirror44

These are perfectly lovely sculpts, but I think I'll pass this month. I have enough dwarves on rams to last me ten lifetimes. But I look forward to what the next release brings! Until then, please take care of yourself!

Aaron Reynolds

Can't have enough Dwarves, love them!

Feastingduke

I love these!!! 💕

Michael Abraham

The aesthetic of this and the march release are PERFECT! I love it! <3

Raccoon Arts Studio by Ryngs

So excited to get some dwarven mount options!!! Great work as usual!!! I'm so sorry that you are feeling burnt out on sculpting, for my own selfish reasons, I hope you find your passion in it again!

Matthew Jones

Wow I gotta say these are really amazing. The detail and variety you have put into these dwarves is spectacular! I love the different flavor and spin you put on their armor and weapons (especially that bow) is so cool and still feels dwarven. Before the oathbreakers were my favorite set, by these guys now have stolen that crown!

Brad Duffin

Love your style AG. These are a miss for me personally, I have more than enough of the regular races, I’ll be keeping an eye out for future releases though, the Warforged is what I am really waiting for.

Gideon Curry

Love these dwarves! Can't wait to print the whole set. I agree with the above -- take care of yourself! I think we'd all understand if you took a month off or did a smaller release to help recharge a bit.

PNDMike

these are gorgeous. i feel bad that you’re pretty much killing yourself to give us all these goodies. don’t forget to take care of yourself! we already have incredible content from you!
