Join the Vanguard in June

You are invited to turn on the audio and click play in the trailer above!
Next month, in june be prepared for a massive set of incredible fighters, featuring tons of weapon options and amazing mounts.
It's since long time that I wanted to bring some new knights to your table.
The Fighters Guild, Better than Ever
Inspired by the legacy Fighters Guild set, published in 2019, the Vanguard Fighters Guild is a totally new set of modular proud warrior clad in medieval armor whose quality is even better, suited for the now more advanced 3d printers, capable of printing minis much more detailed.
Flying Wyverns...
But as the threat of Mundus have grown, this Fighter's Guild needs something more than horses and blades. After an expeditions in the unforgiving Dragonpeaks, the Fighters Guild of Vanguard will ride Wyverns!
As requested many many times, we did for the first time ever flight stand for three of the wyverns, which come as standalone beasts useful as monsters or beastly compaions, or fierce mounts compatible with any other set.
...and Horses
We know that horses are staple in these kind of set, so we decided to bring the horses of the Fighters Guild back as free throwback extra minis. We want to remember you that any other horses made by us (Northmen Saga horses, Thieves Guilds steed, Requiem Warhorses or even unded horses from Oldburg Fallen Ones) are totally compatible with them.
Two Epic Bosses
As I announced in our Discord channel, this month I couldn't decide which Epic Mount make for the epic boss slot. Unicorn, Pegasus, a mix of both, or even a Wyvern Queen would be great options... so I ended up making both!
The terrible Wyvern Queen is coming in multypart to fit your printer, both with and without saddle, so you can use it as epic boss monstruosities or colossal mount for your generals.
And what about the Pegacorn...Unisus... well that thing?
The Pinup of the Month
While we wanted to have a carismatic Battlemage for one of the heroes, I wanted to sculpt a powerful veteran warrior for the heroine of the month. So we had a perfect fitting role for the beauty of the month, Genevieve: a charming enchantress, Lady of the Lake.
But I felt that she would be great riding... an unicorn... or a pegasus?
Meet Lady Genevieve of the Enchaned lake in all its beauty, coming in two version (regular, with an elegant enchantress dress, and pinup), and also coing separated from the Celestial Steed, so you can actually place her anywhere.
But on day 25 I realized that some of you would surely want a standing version of her too, in both regular and pinup version. So I actually made a standing version of Genevieve, perfect for your wargames, including GUILDS, where mount and knight comes in different cards and you can decide whenever to ride the war beasts.
a work in progress of the first sculpt, where all started.
This has been an amazing month, and I hope you'll like what I sculpted so far.
I can't wait to see how you'll paint the new Vanguard Fighters, coming 2nd June!
Cheers!
Andrea

Honestly love your work, been an on and off sub for years now
Tom Fossell
Human rangers when? 👀
Raymond Hedges
Just finished the Pegasus Pin-up. Absolutely love it. I plan to mix her with another mount to make an interesting one. I love how versatile all your stuff is!
Georgios Tsatsamis
Amazing work as always but some supports for those models are a pain in the a** to remove without breaking weapon and minis. Compared to other releases the supports on this Set are not that great. My observation was that at least no offense.
Matt Davis
This is one of my favorite releases! It perfectly fits a need I had which was to increase unit diversity for a faction I was using the original fighter's guild to fulfill! Thanks so much! Unrelated: do you have a plan to do more giants in the future? I'd love to see the core giant types from DnD all done in your style. I'm also curious if you'll ever do more Final Fantasy inspired releases. More races from Ivalice like Seeq and Viera, more classic summons like Shiva and Ramuh, and chocobo-like mounts all come to mind.
Artisan Guild
Thank you!!
icearrow games
Just love this month models, Adrea. This is great!
Artisan Guild
Amazing! I'm happy to hear that :)
Zdeněk Dejdar
They're amazing, I was in need of something I could use as Templar order in my campain, and these are absolutely stuning. You've done a great job !
Matthieu Wisniewski
the files are not available yet, they should be in a couple of days.
Alejandro Estrada
i just joined to get the files i dont know how to get them, pls help
Rasmus Bækgaard
Yas - dragons! I'll take more of those for upcoming rewards, please!
Bernat Rovira Lastra
As an idea, it would be nice to make each month a topic: for example, in your birthday month, dwarves (always!!), in June, humans, after that elves, orcs, monsters, and so on and so forth...
Artisan Guild
Thanks! True with the Oliphant, the most similiar thing I did was a Mammoth in April :)
Artisan Guild
Thank you so much! Can't wait to see the paintjobs!
Artisan Guild
Thank you so much!
Artisan Guild
You are right Viacheslav, and often choosing the best balance between dynamism to rapresent an idea and strenght is not easy. The Horses are a "throwback" mount extra kit that has been done several years ago, when I was less experienced.
Artisan Guild
Thanks Markus!
Artisan Guild
Thank you François! Ani, who do the presentation pictures, spent hours to find a way to fit them all without making them too small! :)
Artisan Guild
Thank you so much for your comment!
Artisan Guild
Enough Bernat! Thank you :)
Artisan Guild
Thanks Matthieu!
Artisan Guild
Thank you Mansonian!
Artisan Guild
We are testing it now, if something can be improved we do that right away :)
Artisan Guild
That's amazing, thanks for your comment :)
Artisan Guild
Thanks Brian! There's not a version without hat, however there are 3+ ladies in the modular with similiar heavy armor.
Artisan Guild
Thank you! We often make monsters, it's great to sculpt them :) But humans are also staple in fantasy settings.
Artisan Guild
Thanks Andrew! I'm happy you both enjoy the hobby together!
Artisan Guild
Thanks Ryan!
Artisan Guild
Requiem Brotherhood (templars) had a huge big flail, you could use the standalone version :)
Artisan Guild
Ty!
Artisan Guild
Thanks John!
Artisan Guild
It would be great if we could recycle resin! Thank you :)
Artisan Guild
Almost out :)
Artisan Guild
That's my thought, humans are very prominent in most fantasy settings :)
Artisan Guild
Thank you :)
Artisan Guild
That's fantastic, Santi!
Artisan Guild
Amazing Jeff! Post some pictures of your painted minis
Artisan Guild
Thank you Mini!
Shadowhawk1530 .
I love the busts. If you keep going with them, I'm definitely going to build a dragon chess set with them. With this set we are half way done already :D the only piece you have not yet modelled as an actual miniature is an Oliphant type of creature.
Daniel Jay
I can already tell this is going to be an amazing release
SteveWasEre
Holy crap! You've absolutely smashed it out of the park again! That battlemage is cool! Those wyvern! This is fantastic, thank you!
Grimbeard
Simply awesome!
Viacheslav Pastushuk
Great set. But it seems to me that making horses with only one small point of attachment to the base is a very bad idea. They will not be able to survive any transportation.
Markus Richert
The wyvern rider is just AWESOME
François Marchant
You struggled to include all of it in a single image... this set is simply amazing. And i'll reiterate : i love the fact that you are including scatter terrain regularly in your sets.
Matthieu Marino
You outdid yourself, great job.
Jay R
There's a decent flail in release 56 Rodburg Cultist of Melmora. You could adapt it into a bigger 2h flail pretty easily.
Bernat Rovira Lastra
Andrea, this is truly amazing. Best set ever!!! Just one question... This set is huge, how many hours did you slept this month??? Take care of yourself!!!
Matthieu Wisniewski
Woaw ! Awesome set ! Thank you !!
Mansonian
O.M.G !!! favourites ever?
Erik
I love it when the mounts double as amazing monsters. I'm not sure about the flight stands with the resin I'm using because it can be a bit brittle, but I'm sure I'll find a solution for that.
B. Griffith
These are awesome!! I’m a fan of the original Fighters Guild, and always like getting human minis. I don’t play D&D, and get a lot more use out of “low fantasy” minis. Wyverns and feathered unicorn are fantastic, though!
Brian Roger
That looks amazing! I have to ask though, is there a version of Marika without the headgear, as there is for all the other units? If not, I understand. Regardless, I can't wait!
AggressiveMonky
Great work as always, though I'm hoping soon you guys turn your attention to monsters mote than just regular people. You can only do it for so long before you got dups of each race.
Andrew Welch
My wife collects dice, I collect Minis. I need all of these! Recently printed and painted the first set. Well done, just amazing.
Ryan Woodroof
These look great! Keep up the amazing work =)
Tim Leach
Great looking set, but oh how I wish one of them had a big two handed flail as a weapon. Is there a previous set with that that I can weapon swap?
Kip
Amazing!!
John O'Brien
Awesome, great set, so many uses.
M Rich
Guys I can’t afford all this damn resin… keep it up, please! 🙌🏻
Rob Clark
Want... Now... PLS!!! lol Great looking set!
Michael Schulze Althoff
You can never have enough humans while running adventures at the sword coast and this set ist stunning. Can't wait to start printing and painting.
William West
This set looks epic
Raymond Hedges
I would expect nothing less. Lol. But really these are all so exciting!
Santi DeRosa
This looks amazing. Saw some potential characters for my future games and some airborne raiders with the wyverns. Great release
Jeff Strand
Holy crap, these models are awesome! I'm excited to print and paint these.
Mini Manatee
This was the second edition I was looking forward too! Cant believe the quantity of models in this release while still being at your amazing quality - and perfect throwback bust! Love how you've expanded the busts to include the monsters/creatures and standard units too! Awesome awesome stuff, all I can say is, thank you!! Great to see those horses come back but with the updated riders, the wyverns were a surprise, as was the mounted pinup (which btw is awesome standalone hero character let alone pinup) so much to say, such a great set :D!
Artisan Guild
We have secrets informators!
Artisan Guild
Thank you Patrick! I always try my best in the short amount of time.
Artisan Guild
Thank you Eric!
Artisan Guild
Thanks Mercurius! She's an enigmatic character, a sort of witch of the wild, that's why she don't use shoes :)
Artisan Guild
Gracias, Erik! Falta poquito!
Artisan Guild
hahaha, I don't envy your party :)
Raymond Hedges
I absolutely love it!!! Also the halberd welder in the first batch is exactly my D&d fighter so you also magic! Awesome set!!!
Artisan Guild
Thank you, Jess!
Patrick Odell
Another month of terrific models that will take way more than a month to print and paint. You are spoiling us with quality AND quantity.
Eric Jackson
I've been a member since the original fighters guild set was released. I'm excited to see this new take on them and possibly mixing the sets.
Mercurius
Look terrific. The pinup dressed version works really well as a general character model (if only she had shoes) and the rest look pretty cool.
Erik Bermudo
Tremenda release madre mía! Deseando imprimirlos 😊
Hardcleave
Outstanding set man! As always you do great work! Can't wait to get these on the table and beat the.... errrr.. . I mean... to introduce them to the party. 😄
Jess Boudrie
Human fighters are pretty neat and always useful ... But all those mounts! Gorgeous!
