May 2020 Theme Poll

Edit: sorry for the double post. For some reason the first one had not the poll option included, it was impossible to vote. Thanks for your patience!

Hello dear supporters! It's time to vote for the release of May!
The current release, the Death-Tide Jurakins, will be live about day 3 :)
If you have pledged during March (based on Patreon timezone) but you hadn't the time to download the Set, please send us a private message here on Patreon, we will sort it out!

Theme Descriptions

And here a simple description on each theme models. Please remember that these races are not based on existing settings, we are building up our universe. As we develop the theme concept we possibly make some changes.

About the topic "what's in the Poll", there are no rules on what gets out and what get reworked. We are simply sketching what we are inspired to sculpt.  How many Sculpts will be part of the winning theme? As always, once we choose a theme thanks to this Poll we will spend the month to further develop/improve the core concepts and create the following sculpts:

Wait, we have Massive Discount Codes for a limited time!

ARTISANCOLLECTION - Active from Day 1 to 10 each month The fist 10 days of each month are the best ones to get our previous sculpts in our Shop! This Code will work on any model we released so far. 30% DISCOUNT CODE: ARTISANCOLLECTION

DARKRITUAL - 4th Wave of Amazons! models and Depth Ones (till April 31) This combination of models from our recent Kickstarter and old releases suits the current theme. If you are a backer of the KS you already own some of these models! This code works also on our Dwarven Defender release! 50% DISCOUNT CODE: DARKRITUAL  


Comments

I would love to see some Undead Egyptian, Meso American and Viking like minis one day. Love monsters and mythology. The ONI from this month are awesome.

Glitterwolf

uuuggghhh! No beetle borgs....... that was a horrible show. When that came out my brother kept catching bugs seeing if any of them would turn him into a hero. And I found out cause they crawled into my bed next to the window.

Naes003

do you remember beetleborgs?

Jesse S.

Would absolutely love to see a beetle samurai in the Oni set, like the one from Kubo and the Two Strings! :D

SuperHappyNihilist

I'm doing the Red and Blue Oni idea for the 2 Ogroids in Age of Sigmar.

Stephen Brewer

YOSHIGRUZU IS MIIIINE!!

Jason Brown

Dark Fairy set choice could be amazing for next month

Baptiste

2 Oni Heros Idea. Red Oni, Blue Oni (Male/Female) Female being the bigger and stronger one.

Naes003

I don't really care what is picked this time. Regardless of what is picked I get MONSTER GIRLS!!! Can't wait to see what they come up with for the pinups and normal females.

Naes003

Ohh a Ferial Fae/Fairy set would be fun to paint.

Michael Yust

Is there a plan to do some sort of fae set? I would be interested in that! I haven't seen very many that are well done and I love painting wings.

Joey Wojtowicz

Let's be honest, any beauty pinup can be a local hooker 😂

J-Zarno .

love all these options!

Jessy Montufbrad

Also ORC KING has done a good set of Kobolds too... I do want to see Artisan Guild's take though cause I just love em! Can't get enough Kobolds...

jimmy brownell

Oh wow. Thank you. Those look awesome

charlie ballinger

Opps, sorry, that link was a patron-only one. Here's a public teaser from a week ago: https://www.patreon.com/posts/kobolds-teaser-35218944

Jason Moore

Cast N Play are doing Kobolds this month and just posted their pack today. Check it out the see if it's the style you're looking for? https://www.patreon.com/posts/kobolds-complete-35520742

Jason Moore

Also at some point this year I would love to see a Gnome based set. Especially with the Eberon book's recent release, it would be a cool artificer and some other caster themed Gnome set.

charlie ballinger

Really wanting the Kobolds. Would love a good quality set of those lovable little cretins.

charlie ballinger

AG: I'm not sure if it is possible, is there a way to pay $8 for supported models of previous months that you've pledged for? perhaps a code for MMF?

demonwombatofdoom

Yeah I know but I’m greedy and I want a bunch at once haha I am stoked for the Eye f Tialevor though!

Josh Blomquist

Please people, move your votes from Gryphkin and Bear clan to Oni, there are already way too many kobolds out there already! Then we can nab Gryphkin in June and Bear Clan in July!!

Tucker Loper

We are releasing characters as freebies during the months. For example Troubles in Taverns Set or the upcoming Eye of Tialevor (clerics, spellcasters, warlocks, mages)

Artisan Guild

Come on, kobolds! Just a few more votes to take the lead!

A.j. Anderton

they were delivered of course, and are now expired. Anyway we have access to the Tier monthly lists: anyone contacting us privately and asking for a month they actually pledged for will receive the models.

Artisan Guild

If we are inspired to do so why not? :)

Artisan Guild

Yeah character sets would be cool for the next poll!

Josh Blomquist

Biiiiiiiiiiird men! Please!

TreeSauce

Thanks John

Rob van der Zanden

Flying kobolds please!

Tom Henderson

I got mine Rob, and I've seen that this months are ready to go already.

John Prew

Anyone knows if the supported(miniatures with supports, $18 pledge) version of previous month has been delivered? I don't see a post about that. I want to switch for this month.

Rob van der Zanden

Bring on the Oni!

Scarlet Moon Designs

yeah! at last!

Mikaelus Leon

Maybe time for a mainstream NPC month, with barkeeps, smiths, pedestrians and beggars and quacks, and ofcourse the local hooker?

Spidfire

Looks like the discount code is not currently working for the dwarven defenders

Greg Russell

The bugbears and gryphkin join us! we cant lets orks win again... we already have orks but no kobolds! come on guys

Jason Skordilis

oni clan this time

Northern Light

Oh I own them just excited to see what other elf types your guys think of.

Jonnyballday .

goblins and gryphkin, you're not gonna win, so you should switch to kobold!

Podok the Mad

it is a problem on their end but we already contacted them 6 hours ago. We are really sorry! Looks like when there are mass sales (day 1 of each month) the server get these kind of errors. They are working on it. Luckly you still own the models, you bought them and once they fix the server issue you can just download them. No need to re-buy those, never, Sorry guys, we currently can't handle a personal shop

Artisan Guild

that's fantastic :) Sea elves is a cool concept by the way. We prefered to go fully fish for diversity... it's cool to sculpt different faces each month

Artisan Guild

Stoked for your next release as always. So hard to choose.

Hawke1422

probably :)

Artisan Guild

check the Deepwood Alfar if you like elves. It's a wild clan of forest sort-of-elves :)

Artisan Guild

We are sure you can use them as a specific tribe of orcs, or even Hobgoblins! :)

Artisan Guild

well we had Alfar in january, perfect for ranger, priests and druids elves, and dwarves till yesterday, plenty of them. Also we did a human set last year and a full bonus set called Troubles in Taverns (mostly human rogues/troublemakers and few spellcasters). Next bonus set is about magic users, specifically PC races. The first charactera will get unlocked for free to all patrons at 5500.

Artisan Guild

Anything but Oni!

Dave

we love shadow of mordor! Having various tribes of orcs/ogres also comes from that :)

Artisan Guild

Have you seen Troubles in Taverns set? It's full of troublemakers, mostly humans. Next bonus set (free for patrons) coming at 5500 goal is a bonus set of wizard/clerics/warlocks ^^

Artisan Guild

I'm sticking to the Gryphkin there's simply too few flying races of any intellect compared to Land or Ocean races. Also I can see from the posts these would be a unique challenge for you and I'd like to see and own the results of that.

House Hendoe

I'm really hoping for the Kobolds. You can't find good Kobolds ANYWHERE. These look awesome. But as usual, all the offerings look cool.

Eli Butcher

I love all these themes! Whomever wins, I sincerely hope you'll keep the others as options for the next months! :)

treoni

Thanks ! :)

The Painted Wookie

Hiya Wookie! It looks like that scenery stone (sacrificial pit) is part of the Raktaa offer: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-115325

Irven Keppen

With Titan Forge having released the awesome Dragon Empire models in March, the Oni clan would be the perfect complement. Since Artisan Guild have wanted to make the Oni for a while, now is the ideal time! :)

Nathan

You might want to contact MMF about that. Sounds like a problem on their end.

Maeyanie

Hi, I see there is a scenery stone in the background on the picture for dark ritual can we purchase this yet? I cant see it on the store :)

The Painted Wookie

Go Oni Clan 😁

Michael Clarke

I just purchased the Amazon files for this release on MMF, and the download link for Raktaa and Kaata on Panther are saying this: NoSuchKeyThe specified key does not exist.5e7cce66d43f3/threedfiles/kaata-princess-on-panther-amazons-kickstarter.zipobject-assets/object-assets/5e7cce66d43f3/threedfiles/kaata-princess-on-panther-amazons-kickstarter.zip1601A57EBCDF64E69dffabe5-763f-47c7-9729-609a01680a4e

Pablo Ortega

How does insanely common not equal usable in everyday games? Didn't cast n play just release a set of Kobolds too...

Henry Evans

Like all the ideas, but think its Oni time now 😁

John Prew

Gryphkin ... Bird Minis are awsome

Thomas Kusch

I could get behind some Oni Clan! I wouldn't mind some expansions on current releases too! Who wouldn't want to expand their forces of dwarves (or whatever) as they use them to replace models from other popular games... ( I'm looking at you GW!) I'm using the Death-Tide Jurakins to replace an entire army of stupid sea elves.. prolly do the same with the dwarves too.

McCrary's Hobby Room

I really like bugbears ... but Oni Clan sounds cool as well .... I'm also intriqued with kobolds! I wouldn't be able to print them on my Ender though :DDD

Jan L

Wrong! Next month is BearClann!! wink

Robb

I'm just sad one of them will be on the bottom, really do like all 4 of them.

demonwombatofdoom

@andrea do you prepare a fat oger in the eoni clan? litle inspired like rackham goblin?

Baptiste

like i said last month jurkin, now oni ^^ and next month if no mmore interesting gryphkin ^^

Baptiste

I would love to see a "class" theme... like Monks of all kinds of races.... to fill a 'monastery' with 'warrior monks'

Xi-Sheng Luo

Im sure most these sets will come at a later point for sure. Sounds like they have a lot of ideas they just need to be inspired to make up the sketches and what not.

Jonnyballday .

I like the new bear goblins .... but I insist on the Oni ... hopefully it's the right time: D We also hope that you will redo a set with characters reusable by adventurers (Halfling, Elves, Humans, Dragonborn, Tiefling, among the first that come to my mind. However gogogo ONI!

Paoloni Fabrizio

Not sure if itd be elves and if it is hopefully itd be dark or high elves. But that was another point I was trying to make.

Jonnyballday .

Bring on the Oni Clan!

Bernard II

yeah, atleast then we wont have to have them take up another vote spot and we can get on to some sweet elves xD

Jeff

lets go ONI!!!! lets get get them done obviously Ag wants to do them give them a win guys

Jonnyballday .

For the artist it is not very exciting to design a million variants of the same three or four races, I think. For PC's I prefer Heroforge.com. I know, they are a bit more expensive but you don't need a lot of their miniatures, so I think it's ok. But it would be awesome to get some gypsi-style halflings

Matthias Schobloch

KOBOLDS! 😁😁

Adam

Go Oni, go go go go go!!!!

Diego Martínez

Oni has been in the last couple months. Its not worthwhile to non eastern style gameplay

Keith Nicholson

Yes, dragonborn please!

Chad Challman

As a DM, I'm not here for PCs. If I get some every now and then that's cool, but I much prefer grouped sets that I can build encounters around. So, to each their own and with over 4,000 supporters they won't always please everyone. They've done humans and elves, as mentioned. There's not a reason to go back and repeat it until they get a good idea, like with the oathbreaker Dwarves. I'd much rather have unique sets rather than repeating a theme that was already done.

Chad Challman

We just had goblins, and kobalds are pretty similar to goblins, can we get some dragon born or even skeletons/undead

ryan

Can I have them all? I'm not partial to any one since they all could be used very well..so hard to choose as usual..

Dominic Ellis

My loyalty to the Oni is finally paying off! I love these different flavored orcs for my Shadow of Mordor-inspired campaign.

Danny A.

This is why I think a random mix of characters each month would be awesome.

Jason Brown

Actually I think there’s official rules for most of them. Volos guide to monsters has kobold, orc, bugbear, and hobgoblins Player races

cole murray

They already did a human and elf set.

Kyle Sawyer

I am a bit disappointed that all of the choices are monsters their are no PC races for 2 months now monsters are fine but I would like to see humans and elves too.

Lisa Kellogg

Finally Oni is leading!'

Alazardis

The bear clan goblins look sick! would love to see them.

Vu Le

Yeeees oni!!!! gooooo oni!

Mykal Wells

Let's Go KOBOLDS... I have plenty of Oni... 😒

David Niehaus

Oni! We can come back for Goblins and Kobolds.

Glenn Lawson

I believe that we should follow what inspires our wonderful artists. The Oni have been worked on and I believe thats the next step in their creativity.... However I really want those Goblins or Kobolds

Joshua Grandt

Totally agreed. They're one of the most interesting low-high level threats in the game. Right there with goblins.

Brandon Rambo

Amazons

Studio Silvernale

I vote Oni, cuz im weeb.

Logician

Kobolds for sure. From a practical side, I definitely can see using them more in my games than oni clan

xspartanzx

Cmon oni clan. Been wanting these guys since they first showed up

Kurt William Reinhardt

Bear tribe if you go oni now we can make june bear tribe month XD

Jonnyballday .

Lets get those oni in since seems like there pretty far into the concept and plans sine one hero is done let AG take it easy for this coming month and then for june itd be all new choices!! Oni for the win please then maybe bear teibe next hehe

Jonnyballday .

Let's go Oni! We want to see what AG has for them!

Vendy

C'mon Oni Clan!!! You can do it this time!!!

Sean McInnes

I would like to thrown in and ask for some humans that are rogues/ranger, wizard/sorc/warlock types. These would really help me out on my dnd characters :)

Steven Beasley

it's in the plan, we will have short people when we come up with some cool sketching. Need to be inspired ^^

Artisan Guild

once we are inspired to do so, yes! definitely :)

Artisan Guild

we have that idea too! Still not developed it but they'll appear someday

Artisan Guild

it's a mix of previous releases: Depth One Set (months ago) and 4th wave of Amazons (our recent Kickstarter). Only the discount code is active till end of april, models will stay in the shop

Artisan Guild

aaaand... human is the real monster :/

Artisan Guild

Hope that the Oni Clan pulls out a win this time around!

Mattimao

Gimme Gimme Oni Clan~!

Nekrociist

It's cruel of you to ask us to choose between 4 dazzling concepts ! Shame on you ! 😉

Rmey

Bear clan is literally bugbears, go Bugbears!

Mr. Future

Would go with Great Goblins but don't see them winning so going for the Kobolds. We don't have them yet anyways so no need for a sub race of something released already. lol

WarjackedsWorkshop

Not all of us play D&D. Not all of us use minis for their RPGs. These don't have to be "Oni" they can represent something else. Hell they can just have the stats of orcs or something physically similar.

Steve Holt

Still wishing we had an option of Halflings or Gnomes to help round out the standard PC races in D&D. XD

WarjackedsWorkshop

Oni clan!? :3

MacKenzie Akred

Gotta be honest, these all look great. Haven't even decided which of my top 3 to vote for yet

Joshua Garner

Voting for NOT Oni LOL

Wallywest317

@soulsick - Cult miniatures did bugbears for march

ResinandFilament

Oni here we go!

Cold Painting Table

BOOO! We need Bugbears

Brad Marsh

Can we not do ANOTHER demon clan?

Robinson Winnie

Oni! Followed by Kobolds. But Oooooonnniiiii

Ted LeBeau

Gnolls, now that i could get behind!

Dalton Stewart

Oni all the way!

Logan Van Choate

I'm loving your concepts, maybe someday we can get some Gnolls in the mix as well

Ron Purvis

Oni please, I really don't like Kobolds and Goblins...

Torrential_Terrain

Not all of us are experienced enough at dming to fully homebrew a reason to use oni or jerakin into a game, lol. I'm currently dming Descent into Avernus and it's only my second time dming, so maybe, MAYBE, I could find a reason to have oni in it, but theres no reason jerakin would be there, lol. I'll still support Artisans guild regardless of what gets picked, I would just like more models I can actually use in my game

Dalton Stewart

Voted for the Bird guys. but Onis are pretty cool too. Hope next month the birdos get a chance!

Alan Chesna Vidal

We just had dwarves this past month and elves in January...

wordflyer

ONI please been wanting them for omths

Tyrela

I never said I wanted something insanely common, lol. I just want something usable in every day games. How many times have you came up against an oni or a jerakin in DnD? I would like some good kobold models personally, as I frankly haven't seen much in the way of good looking kobolds. No matter what wins, I'll still support it, but I just prefer things I can actually use in a normal game

Dalton Stewart

im voting for oni til we get em

Dallas Adams

Oni actually has a shot this time!!!??

Ed Smith

The dark ritual set is not from patreon and only available in the shop until April 30th?

Caesarion

Yes! Love it!

J-Zarno .

Next goal will be about character spellcaster (both wizards and battle clerics) :) So you'll receive them even if they don't get voted. 5500 goal

Artisan Guild

lol well something like that was the plan for a hero, probably a druid/shaman. They are not bear tribe for nothing ^^

Artisan Guild

Monstrous races are people too

Victor Laurence

thanks!

Artisan Guild

I have more than enough monsters. Is there any point where the Guild will be going back to human/PC style races? Elves/halflings/gnomes etc...?

Joe Kushner

Agreed. Everything is great. I’m going for the Bear Goblins because I can use them as Bug Bears!

BoldNotBald

Really go full-on with the bear theme

J-Zarno .

And bear-skulls for shoulderpads, but only on one shoulder tho, to make it asymmetrical

J-Zarno .

I'll vote for oni since they might be removed after this month if it doesnt get picked, but man those bear-tribe look so cool tho! You should totally give one of the heroes a bearskin with the head attached to it as a helmet-cape combo

J-Zarno .

While I am really hoping for Great Goblins, everything you do is amazing, so it's not like I'll be missing out! The Oni look amazing, too!

VagabondPrime

Oni with a strong initial lead. Got to say that my pick rarely gets in the top, but damn I enjoy watching the votes total in.

Mike Gonzalez

Chose Gryphkin, soooooooo not interested in orks, bugbears, or kobolds.

Sdspecter

Why would you want something insanely common and easy to find???? Why wouldn't you want something you don't have and can't get?mm

Steve Holt

First choice Oni, second choice Bugbears, on the fence with Gryphkin, I'm not sold 100% on the sketch with big wings like D&D Aarakocra, I'd be more partial to WoW Arakkoa with wings that have adapted into manipulative hands partially, or the Skeksis style with vestigial wings visible on their shoulders but now far too small for flight. No shade at your designs, just adding what I think is cool in case it inspires :)

James Grainger

Oni Oni Oni Oni!!!!

Robb

There are only 250 votes at the moment^^

Matthias Schobloch

I am honestly surprised Oni jumped to the early lead.

Stephen Rumer

Because we already have 1000s of generic things like Kobolds etc. If it's situational make a situation to fit it, it's a game after all...

Henry Evans

yes Oni is in the lead finally

Guillaume

i know, right? I would love some Bugbears - there is literally no good models for them .....

Soulsick1988

perhaps we already have a huge library of common creatures in our Shop, who knows :) Either way we will make sure you can use Oni as orcs, hobgoblins and ogres,

Artisan Guild

What would you prefer? Also most stuff that isn’t situational are done a lot or we already have it.

Josh Blomquist

Come oooon Oni!!!! Been wait for so long

Dane Aldeguer

Gryphkins!!!

Jean-François Meloche

Ugh, firat jwrakjns, now oni? Why do so many people want stuff thats insanely situational?

Dalton Stewart

Let's get Oni made so we can do Gryphkin for June!

Tucker Loper

Ooonnniiii!!!! Hell yeah!

Andrew Piggott
