Patreon to Guildhall
🕑 Added 2024-09-29 20:43:37 +0000 UTC
We are thrilled to announce the creation of the Guildhall—the new and cozy home of Artisan Guild, ready to welcome you at www.artisanguildminiatures.com!
As platforms evolve, we’ve decided it’s time to build something of our own, a special place where you can truly feel at home, the headquarter of our prestigious Guild!
The Guildhall will become our central hub, where you’ll receive our Monthly Releases of 3D printable miniatures at the start of each month—directly through us, without the need for any third-party platforms.
But there’s more! We’re working hard to build the Guildhall Library, which will house not only your new collections, but also past sets from previous months and years, along with the Welcome Box. All of this will be available to you.
We kindly ask for a bit of patience as we perfect this complex system and upload the previous releases into the Library.
Every month, we’ll also be releasing Guildhall Exclusives, extra pieces created only for those who support us from within the Guildhall to build alternative versions of a model.
For example, next month, we’ll offer an alternate version of the Epic Boss as a special exclusive. Keep an eye out for these unique pieces, clearly marked in our trailers with a red banner that says "Guildhall Exclusive"!
This isn’t just a platform shift—we’re creating your new home, where every corner is designed to offer you the best experience possible. We’re committed to listening to your feedback and continuously improving the platform to meet your needs. The Guildhall is more than just a change; it’s a warm “Welcome Back!” to a place that’s truly yours.
Get your printing files ready and join us in the Guildhall—the future of Artisan Guild awaits you!
Important: If you are already a paying member on Patreon or Tribe and wish to join us in the Guildhall, please remember to unsubscribe from your Adventurer/Collector/Merchant Tier on your current platform before subscribing to the Guildhall in October. This will help avoid accidentally paying for two subscriptions at once.
However, we would greatly appreciate it if you could continue supporting us as a free member on Patreon. By staying subscribed, even without a paid tier, you’ll help keep Artisan Guild visible, making it easier for others to discover our work. Every bit of support counts, and this will help us continue growing our incredible community!
_______________________________________________________________
HOW IT WORKS
Join the Guildhall
Visit our website at www.artisanguildminiatures.com . Click on Guildhall Subscription and choose a Tier. Subscribe to receive our monthly 3D-printable Collection, as usual during the first days of the month.
Choose a Tier
Through the Guildhall you can join as Adventurer, Collector or Merchant. Scrolling below the trailer of the current month you may also join as Free Member to get access to your Library and download the Vanguard free collection, updated every month!
Access Your Collections
On the 2nd day of each month, log into your Guildhall Library and instantly access the latest themed collection in your personal library, ready to download and print.
We are working hard to add the previous collection to each member's library. Soon you'll have access from every set you subscribed for throguh your Guildhall Library!
Guildhall Shop (Under construction)
We are building a shop directly tied to your Guildhall Library, where you will be able to access past sets from previous months and years.
If you already bought some of all our past sets through MyMiniFactory or Patreon don't worry, we are going to automatically deliver them through your personal Guildhall Library. It's a complex and long process, so we kindly thank you for your patience.
Enjoy Guildhall Exclusives
Each month, we release special Guildhall Exclusive extra pieces, created just for the Guildhall members. Look for these marked with the red "Guildhall Exclusive" banner in our trailers and releases.
Feedback and Support
Have questions or ideas? We're here to help and improve the Guildhall based on your feedback. Together, we’ll continue to make this platform your true home for 3D-printable minis. The best place to provide feedbacks is our Discord.
______________________________________________________________
WHY THE GUILDHALL
As some of you may know, Patreon is planning changes that will significantly impact how we deliver our monthly releases. Their upcoming 30-day subscription cycle means members could get two monthly releases by paying for just one, which disrupts the fair system we've worked hard to create. This would undermine the value of consistent support and incentivize a subscription pattern that hurts the community as a whol; being also totally unfair to subscribers who support continiously.
This change has been requested by Apple, who also is asking us creators to raise our price by 30%, as they will take a 30% cut of every subscription. We don't think that's fair to you or to us.
These changes aren’t live yet, and we will continue to offer our Monthly Releases on Patreon for the time being. However, once these policies are implemented, we will no longer be able to provide our releases through Patreon under these conditions. There’s no rush, but we do encourage you to join the Guildhall now to avoid surprises later.
The Guildhall allows us to continue offering high-quality miniatures at a fair price, with no third-party interference. It’s a platform built for our community, where your support goes directly to the development of our work—without extra fees or unfair practices.
Why Switch to the Guildhall Now?
Fair Pricing, No Loopholes – The Guildhall keeps the monthly release structure intact, rewarding those who support us consistently.
No cuts to apple or third parties – By using our platform, your subscription goes directly to the creation of new content, without unnecessary fees from third-party systems.
Guildhall Exclusives – Get access to special, member-only extra parts every month.
A Platform Built for You – We listen to your feedback and continue improving the Guildhall to provide a seamless experience.

Hello to our First 100 Adventurers and Early Merchants!
We want to start by assuring you that you won’t have to pay more than you do now on Patreon. This post is to clarify the system we’re implementing, designed specifically for you.
With the launch of our new platform, we’ve worked incredibly hard to ensure everything runs smoothly and fairly. The creation of the Guildhall became necessary due to the changes that Patreon is planning to implement in the coming months, which will affect their billing system.
As some of you may already know, Patreon’s new 30-day subscription cycle could allow members to receive two monthly releases while only paying for one. This undermines the consistent support from loyal subscribers like yourselves and creates an unfair situation for those who have stood by us every month. This is why we are transitioning to Guildhall, to preserve the value and fairness of our releases.
We are still learning as we go, and things will become easier and smoother with time. Not all systems are live yet, but everything will be ready for the next monthly release, The Rise of the Beastmen.
First and foremost, thank you for your incredible support! Being part of the First 100 Adventurers or an Early Merchant means that you are one of our earliest supporters, and we are deeply grateful for that.
Our top priority is making sure you don’t lose your early status, which is why you don’t see the “Early Bird” tiers available on Guildhall. As you may recall, the Merchant tiers on Tribe are more expensive than the original ones here, as a way to thank you for being our earliest supporters. We’ve also kept the Guildhall Merchant tier higher (similar to Tribe) to ensure you retain the same benefits.
Here’s how the system will work:
We’ve created Early Bird tiers on Guildhall, but they are hidden for now to give you priority access. This way, the fastest community members won’t switch before you, ensuring you don’t lose your early bird benefits.
We will send you a private message through Patreon with a link to join these hidden tiers at the same price you’re paying now, reflecting the same benefits.
Pricing and Benefits:
$9 for the First 100 Adventurers, which includes the Collector’s Bust.
$29 for the Merchant - First 30 tier.
$35 for the general Merchants tier.
Once again, we truly appreciate your support, and we’re excited to bring you along with us as we grow and improve. Thank you for being part of this journey!

Hi! Thank you for reaching out, and we’re really sorry to hear you had a rough situation. We hope everything is okay now. 💛 1.To transfer your subscription to another platform, just subscribe to the new one and cancel the old one. If you've already been charged on both this month, let us know and we can help with a refund. 2.All our minis always come with unsupported versions, so you’re absolutely free to print them on FDM or any printer setup you prefer!
Artisan Guild

Frederic

Hey there! I just subscribed over on Guildhall, can I get the magic link to get all my prior purchased minis on here added to my guildhall? I used the same email!
Artisan Guild
Hi Tony! Is not obligatory, but we do recommend migrating to Guildhall or MMF; in the case you join Guildhall you will still receive your rewards in MMF too, youjust have to subscribe using the same email in both platforms. Contact me if you decide to migrate and I will refund you any extra payment!
Tony
I just joined a few days ago, should I cancel my subscription and move to Guildhall then? Also, I've seen people commenting about having their rewards added to their MyMiniFactory page, how does that work?
Artisan Guild
Hi! To subscribe to a paying tier you have to choose your Tier here (no need for your Magic Link if you are only on the Free Tier): https://artisanguildminiatures.com/monthly-subscription Use the same email from your Free Account so that you keep the same Library :)

Josh Hawfield
I have a login, but I never get the "Magic Link" sent to my email so that I can subscribe.
András Fábri

Ultimategallo
I want to move to guildhall... but How do I create and acount? it only apears the LOG IN option
Mark Nold
I’m behind in moving (life:) a few questions : 1) can I still move as a first 100 and 2) will the STLs still go to myminifcatory? (I really like them in one spot independent of the producer … if something goes wrong with one I can go to the other in the future)
Quiet_Lamp
Hello! Have the links been sent out for the early subscribers to transition to Guild Hall? I have not seen anything yet. Looking forward to following you and enjoying your lovely work
Mini Manatee
I got the link - but it went to my junk, so make sure you check junk!
Alan Cook(oldcheesewiz)
Right now it shows 54+ a month for the merchant tier. How when can I get access to the hidden tiers? I have not received a private message as of yet! Thx
Alan Cook(oldcheesewiz)
the merchant is is more than my current subscription
Ryley Dempsey-Spearing

Ryley Dempsey-Spearing
Am I missing the link? has it gone out yet?
Omar Rodriguez

Artisan Guild
Hi! we just sent it a few hours ago!
ElderBlueDragon
hopefully we get to signup next month but payments start the following month to save double payments over the 2 platforms
Alan Cook(oldcheesewiz)
This was Clear! Waiting for my message. When should I cancel my Patreon subscription to AG? Cheers!
Steve M
Hi guys, I’ve cancelled my merchant tier and waiting to sign up via the Guildhall. I’m worried I won’t get the message via Patreon though as I’ve already cancelled my merchant tier pledge - will the message still come through?
Rob
Thank for the update. So, do I cancel my Patreon subscription today and move over? Or do we do that next month?
Scott Woods
That's great, but I'm in Australia and my monthly re-new is in 11 hours (12:42pm here atm), are we going to get a message by then?
ElderBlueDragon
Excellent. I totally agree with the move. This world is full of greedy middle men companies with disgusting terms & conditions. (PayPal in 2020 was a great example . they will fine you $3000 if they don't like what you say on social media) I quit them after 20years. They must be told via our $ that we don't agree with them one bit. I'm a tiny merchant in Australia , which geo locks me to a small population and postage price to high for item value to reach other buyers in the world compared to merchants in those higher population countries. I have to accept that when paying same flat price (= less sales for same cost ) BUT Apple forcing me to pay more would be too much. Awaiting message to swap over.
Chris Carter
This is great news, I love the idea of your own platform that you control, Pateron is a pain as a creator, but I did balk when I saw the prices. I will await my message . Thank you for your amazing sculpts.
Brian Orban
Thank you, this removes what would have been the only proud nail in this new arrangement. I hope this is a positive way forward for Artisan Guild, and I can't think of another sculptor more worthy of the success that the new site could bring!
SteveWasEre
Very happy to hear, it's been a pleasure supporting you over all these years and feels special to be one if the lucky first 100. Would have been so sad to lose that, but would have kept supporting your great work anyway. Thanks and hears to many more years of success!
James Berezowski
I've just noticed that a message will be sent for pricing at the current rate. Apologies.
Mini Manatee
this update explains this.
James Berezowski
The merchant tier is showing up as significantly more expensive on guildhall than is stated here. $45 + VAT. That's significantly more than I currently pay on Patreon. Can I have some information as to why this is?
Mingi Webber
When should we expect to see patreon messages for us? Just wanting to make sure I don't miss it :)
Matthew Wells
Thank you for the clarification!
Kyle Simmons
Thank you, this answered my questions. I want to keep the tier I've had for the last few years, no plans on changing that from my end
Eventide Saga
Darn, I already subbed at the baseline, but that's okay. I love your work and don't mind supporting your vision.
Ryder Frankle
This is great! Thank you for keeping us in mind during this transition :)
Mini Manatee
This is great news, thank you!
