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 :)

Greg Kourakos

Christoph Gruber

Erik Watts
2020-08-22 12:50:32 +0000 UTCGreat work!! Thank you guys
Luis Lluberes
2020-08-22 12:47:22 +0000 UTCI 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!
Mark Theurer
2020-08-22 11:34:08 +0000 UTCThe 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
2020-08-22 07:59:42 +0000 UTCLooking 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.
Matterbeast
2020-08-22 07:41:33 +0000 UTCThis may become my new favorite set!! Holy crap these look great!
2020-08-22 07:27:39 +0000 UTCAs 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!
Sean McInnes
2020-08-22 04:05:14 +0000 UTC1st 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
2020-08-22 04:01:15 +0000 UTCWhat lore source are you referencing for doglike? It was my understanding that kobolds were dragonoids.
Joshua Grandt
2020-08-22 02:45:48 +0000 UTCthese,... are,...so....amazing - sniff - tear
ResinandFilament
2020-08-22 02:35:54 +0000 UTCMan always you guys did a great set again!
Abdul Rahman Khan
2020-08-22 01:38:00 +0000 UTCI 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
2020-08-22 01:31:57 +0000 UTCYes! I have waited long for the Kobolds!!!
2020-08-22 01:10:37 +0000 UTCThese 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.
2020-08-22 00:53:43 +0000 UTCHoly crap this looks so good!!!!
Matt
2020-08-22 00:20:07 +0000 UTCI ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SET

Salim Bali
2020-08-21 23:23:50 +0000 UTCDude... you should have a "Take my Money" button for the impatient patrons and for an extra $10 you "Get it NOW?"
James Nelson
2020-08-21 22:26:36 +0000 UTCAwesome!!!!
James Nelson
2020-08-21 22:24:58 +0000 UTCDamn, 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
Lord Chronos
2020-08-21 22:07:05 +0000 UTCI kind of expected them to be more plague-ridden and diseased. They’re cool though!
Julio Ibarra
2020-08-21 21:45:25 +0000 UTCwould LOVE to see you guys do a version of the purple worm!
shaun

Kristoff
2020-08-21 20:34:35 +0000 UTCVery cool. Love the plague/toxin effects.
Miles Lewis
2020-08-21 20:24:37 +0000 UTCThis set looks fantastic! I was super hoping for an actual Kobold pin up though. They deserve their pin ups too!!
honestlyaunicorn .
2020-08-21 20:19:59 +0000 UTCYou tricked us on the kobold pinup... 😜😂Awesome job as usual! And the flail... Oh, i already love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hans-Walter
2020-08-21 20:00:47 +0000 UTCI 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 ;)
The Painted Wookie
2020-08-21 19:55:59 +0000 UTCI was not for them... boy was I wrong!
Daniel Rivera
2020-08-21 19:49:40 +0000 UTCThe 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!
James Harrison
2020-08-21 19:47:48 +0000 UTCThe mount is insane.
Taylor Wheaton
2020-08-21 19:46:25 +0000 UTCDayum these look amazing!

Frederick A Williams
2020-08-21 19:38:32 +0000 UTCGreat great great great! Cannot wait!
Alex A
2020-08-21 19:35:58 +0000 UTCUsually 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.
Glitterwolf
2020-08-21 19:35:30 +0000 UTCThat giant worm is dope
Nicholas Brennan
2020-08-21 19:31:01 +0000 UTCThey 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
2020-08-21 19:30:23 +0000 UTCDAAAAAAAAAAAMN!! They look good!!!
Milo_Jones
2020-08-21 19:24:50 +0000 UTCWow love the sneak peak of the epic boss 🤘🏻hope you post some more pictures from her soon
Björn Burkart
2020-08-21 19:21:15 +0000 UTCI think they had different horns/beards
2020-08-21 19:20:09 +0000 UTCA lot better than what I was expected. You never cease to amaze me Artisan Guild!

2020-08-21 19:15:59 +0000 UTCThat is amazing! The epic sculpt has he me so hyped for next month!
Mario Hernandez
2020-08-21 19:15:52 +0000 UTCThey 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
2020-08-21 19:15:20 +0000 UTCI think the jumping kobold with the pick might be one of your most interesting and dynamic sculpts yet
