Kobold WIP (September Release) and Orc Update
Added 2020-08-07 16:00:51 +0000 UTCHello guys!
Quick update to show you what we are working on.
We are really happy that the Kobolds finally manage to win the poll!
We immediately started sketching (as you probably noticed from the lens story) to bring this new concept to life.
Even if limited in its size, our kobolds are still dangerous monsters from an harsh world. If the Plague-Mine Kobold Clan survived predators and monsters it probably means these little barking demons have not to be underestimated.
A little story to tell you why we wanted to introduce the Kobolds in our line.
Anyone have played Baldur's Gate (the first)? Neshkel Mines were riddled of these little monsters, and it was creepy for a kid! They were scary and mysterious: barking little demons with dog head, hopping on two legs and poisoning the metal and the miners. It was scary! Our main objective is to give them the same feel they gave me 20 years ago in the original Baldur's Gate. Not the same design, but for us, they need too look dangerous, not cute.
Spikes, poisoned blades and sharp claws. One hero will be a Plaguemancer, the other one probably a veteran warrior leader... "Doggo the Cagemaster".
Can you recorgnize the big worm on the right? What's best for a clan of Plague Kobolds to ride a big giant cave worm?
We tested with some digital painting and you will be able to paint them as both little lizards, tiny dragon-kin or even barking demon dog (our official version) without problems! Color scheme will have a huge impact on them :)

ORC BARBARIANS UPDATE SOON!
We are making the final touches of the next revamped (old) Set, the Orc Barbarians.
As always, this presupported updated pack will feature new models and a terrain, it's fully modular, and it will be give for free to the original Orc Barbarians Patrons, KS backers and even who got the bundle in the Shop. Single files will get updated in MMF too ^^
These are 2 additional figures of the Orc Barbarians... you can recognize the second is the "former" slave of the Ashen Inquisitor Alfar who actually managed to escape ^^

Lens is a short 15 second or so clip of what the producers are currently working on B-)

2020-08-17 14:38:48 +0000 UTCnot sure if it has been mentioned/asked, will we see hooded kobolds at all?
Mark
2020-08-15 05:05:51 +0000 UTCJust got an email with a video that says it is posted on Lens? What is lens? I can’t seem to watch the video
Joey
2020-08-12 22:18:35 +0000 UTCLoving these sculpts, and I'm excited for the poisoned blade. Quick ask: can you include a few versions of it with the poison dripping in other directions? Just thinking if it gets put on a different release it might look odd as is. If not, they'll just all be holding the poisoned blade sideways 😄
2020-08-12 20:15:50 +0000 UTCIs a grick a giant worm, I'm in love
cuthberttAllgood
2020-08-12 15:50:27 +0000 UTCQuick question: will Kobolds be scaled down to represent their smaller size compared to your other models?
Diego (Tecu)
2020-08-10 19:18:31 +0000 UTCAG team...I just saw the Lens you sent out. Really loving these kobolds you're sculpting...great poses, expressions, accouterments, etc.
Rob Leonard
2020-08-10 18:33:33 +0000 UTCrequest at least 1 kobold with a pot as a helm ....

2020-08-08 17:16:46 +0000 UTCYAAAAAAS!
DoctorDiscord
2020-08-08 17:16:38 +0000 UTCWe make modular models, so you can really get more then what you see from the render, by combining weapon combinations

2020-08-08 10:57:08 +0000 UTCFighter Guild axe is pretty common :)
Artisan Guild
2020-08-08 10:56:41 +0000 UTCIt's a modular weapon 👻
Artisan Guild
2020-08-08 10:54:40 +0000 UTCNEVER "too much" movement, I love the dynamic poses!
J-Zarno .
2020-08-08 10:34:48 +0000 UTCTheir previous post mentioned a 40% discount code would be made available once the updated Orc set is available on MMF.
LordHoratio
2020-08-08 07:05:41 +0000 UTCWhat about winged kobolds? )) Modular Grick or Giant Centipede for collective mount = awesome.
2020-08-08 06:53:41 +0000 UTCSee, that's what I've been talking about. Modular B has a non-modular weapon, but it is too good a pose NOT to do it. Never sacrifice a cool sculpt on the alter of standardization.
Rob Silvester
2020-08-08 05:24:56 +0000 UTCPLEASE DO THE MULTIPLE KOBOLD MOUNT ITS TOO AMAZING TO NOT BE ON MY TABLE
2020-08-08 03:17:23 +0000 UTCI am just curious if there is going to be a discount code for the orcs for those of us that weren’t in when they came out, but want to buy them, much like the dwarf defenders.
Kevin Hislop
2020-08-08 01:43:42 +0000 UTCLove the updated to the Orcs. Question, do you have a set with a generic single handed axe other than the one in Scourgelands Survivors? One that could be used for multiple sets?
George Greene
2020-08-08 01:40:52 +0000 UTCGrick mount sounds awesome, or the official art riding a giant badger. Either would be amazing
Keith Brooks
2020-08-08 00:37:04 +0000 UTCLOVE the theatrical poses
ResinandFilament
2020-08-08 00:32:10 +0000 UTCoooh a kobold riding on the shoulders of a minotaur ! theres your mount idea !
Lorne Bixby
2020-08-07 23:49:26 +0000 UTCThis is the most excited for a release that I've been. They look great!
2020-08-07 22:58:41 +0000 UTCIs there going to be a separate discount code for the Orc set, or do we just use the regular monthly one? I'm cool either way, I just wanted to be sure before I buy it.
Jacob Mertz
2020-08-07 21:08:15 +0000 UTCLooks amazing!
Mathias Eek
2020-08-07 21:03:45 +0000 UTCKobolds with ears and dog snouts I see. I approve wholeheartedly.
Terje Erwing Bjelkholm
2020-08-07 19:33:18 +0000 UTCCan someone tell me if the Orc death knights on the poll again, and if so, how did they place? Not a patron this month so I didn’t see the poll results.
Brandon Blewett
2020-08-07 19:26:54 +0000 UTCJust crazy good
Edric Ivan
2020-08-07 19:19:58 +0000 UTCI really like how you brought back the orc slave of the Ashen Inquisitor Alfar, i hope we could get something similar at some point with the human and the elf. Beautiful kobolds! Keep up the great work!
Arisher
2020-08-07 18:42:14 +0000 UTCNevermind I see that they are already uploaded. Extra mini's for free how I see it. Can't thank you guys enough. Best 3D miniature patreon by a country mile. Thanks so much!!
Dynamic Prints Studio
2020-08-07 18:38:11 +0000 UTChow many different kobolds in the next month pledge? ... numbers will make me patron you guys
Steph Le Roy
2020-08-07 18:12:56 +0000 UTCI bought the Orc Bundle and the Beauty seperate because that was the old method they were on MMF. I have zero complaints, but just curious, is the bundle I bought considered eligible for the pre-support?
Dynamic Prints Studio
2020-08-07 18:01:18 +0000 UTCI spent many an hour playing Baldurs gate! The mine adventure was awesome! Kolbolds everywhere! Love the idea of the giant worm as mount!
2020-08-07 17:39:24 +0000 UTCThey will be included in the 4+2 and the 4 pack :) update
Artisan Guild
2020-08-07 17:27:29 +0000 UTCBut the sword will look much better in 3d and from the top of the table like that :) it has been carefully positioned on purpose like that :) 2d sketch only work from front
Artisan Guild
2020-08-07 17:26:05 +0000 UTCThose aren’t prints. They’re rendered aka computer-generated.
Alexandru Balotescu
2020-08-07 17:13:29 +0000 UTCI LOVE THEM. I've always preferred the dog-lizard version of kobolds from AD&D and Baldur's Gate so this has me excited. The idea of a Grick mount is great. I have a friend who adores kobolds who these would make a great gift for also. ^_^ Love the orcs and can't wait. Question about the Orcs though and I'll bet I'm not the only one with this question. So this is the first set that I bought on MMF. I bought all 3 items on the store: Vesdra on Gorefang, Orc Beauty, & Orc Barbarians Set - 4 Modular + 2 Heroes. So if I understand your post, there will be a big collection pack of presupported orcs (like the others done so far) but then the individual items (pinup, mounted hero, 6 piece set) will get support updates as well? And will the 2 new orcs only be part of the big presupported set, or will they be also be either sold separately or added into the old 6 piece set?

James Nelson
2020-08-07 16:58:45 +0000 UTCOH YA!!!!! this looks great. Can't wait to have a cool kobold set
2020-08-07 16:47:19 +0000 UTCI see a possible Grick mount? I think that'd be awesome! I always imagined gricks burrowing and digging worm-like tunnels, that would help the kobolds with their mine!
2020-08-07 16:42:44 +0000 UTCThanks for listening to criticism (all kinds) from your fan base and actually considering it! I can see it already taking shape! All criticism is usually because someone feels passionately about your art, but has their own opinion. I've seen other people dismiss and outright ban people who criticize. You guys listened, and that's the mark of a true artist. Thanks!
Mack Zaddies
2020-08-07 16:42:39 +0000 UTCits very important you make something for the 5e "Kobold Inventor" as it is one of the most hilarious.
Serp
2020-08-07 16:42:01 +0000 UTCWhat resin is that? The ones the orks are printed in?
2020-08-07 16:41:43 +0000 UTCYou should stick more to the drawings, that sword of A and the shield of B, angle those more like in the sketches, it looks better that way
J-Zarno .
2020-08-07 16:37:32 +0000 UTCThese are really adorable!
Sylvaria Malice
2020-08-07 16:37:22 +0000 UTCAt first I was a little disappointed to think they would be more dog demon. But you're right, these will make wonderful "dragon" kobolds too. Hyped to have a swarm of them on my table someday!
Whitney Moss
2020-08-07 16:29:55 +0000 UTCOh these are so freaking awesome!

2020-08-07 16:13:04 +0000 UTCVery dynamic pose for B, maybe a little too much movement. Overall I am very excited for the release
