October Trailer and the Guildhall Announcment!
🕑 Added 2024-09-29 16:43:24 +0000 UTCHello dear Adventurers, Collectors, Merchants, and followers!
We invite you to turn on the audio and take a look at the trailer above.
This has been an incredible month, and I’m truly in love with every single model I sculpted for this release. It’s easily one of my favorites so far! What do you think of the new collection, "The Rise of the Beastmen"? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
And now, I have a super exciting announcement for you!
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, including previous purchases made on Patreon or MyMiniFactory.
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.

there is a downloadlink on the mpost from 1.10.. It is between 2 pictures Look for !The Rise of the Beastmen Download Link!
Crom
round about six days passed and no answer. 1. I understand your problem and your conclusiopn ist logical but for my opinion it is at first place a problem between patreon and apple on second place it is a problem between patreon an the creators and on thrid place a problem between the creators and us. on third place there can't be a solution on first place patreon can leave ios and can send apple a f y on second place patreon can modify its platform and api to the patreon ap so every creator can decide if he participate the patreon app on apple devices In my opinion is the last solution the fairest solution for all. I don't think that this will ever be realied. So I'm waiting one more week, and if there is no positive answer we have sadly to part after 4-5 years. regards
Jim Bruning
Is anyone else missing this months STLs?
Ronald Morris
Is there going to be any way to update our Guildhall accounts somehow so that they show we have access to them? Maybe through MMF or something? Or will we be building up our collection on Guildhall from here on out?
Crom
I'm not using the patreon app on IOs. I'm using patreon directly on their website, so, how I understand it, apples bulls* won't inflict me. So I don't have to switch? I'm only on patreon and myminifactory, I don't like to spread to 1000s of different sides.
Artisan Guild
Yes, of course! It's in the post below :)
Erikose
How does this work I have already paid my Patreon for the month. Also it mentions joining Patreon on the Guildhall site?
Merel
I didn't have any idea of how Guyildhall worked and before reading this post, I subscribed through Patreon. Will I still receive the miniatures here on Patreon this month?
Artisan Guild
Thank you for double checking! Taxes are auto calculated automatically and they should be the same across all platforms.
Nick Passamonti
Hitting the cancel membership felt terrible, even though I know I'm subbed for guildhall, been a member for a long time and will be a member until there's nothing left to print. Hands down best minis
BillyWardlaw
Oh well, too late.
Hot Goblin
Thanks! That was the issue. Ok, going to sign up here on Oct 1.
Mini Manatee
need to cancel on patreon, then wait until 2nd of October (....not sure on timezone, so safer to do the third) before resubbing or you will get double charged as they've stated
Mini Manatee
it shows tax immediately when you go to checkout, but when I changed the country, it will update with either no tax, or the appropriate tax for your area.
Hot Goblin
Guildhall isn't the same price for me. With tax, it's $6 and change more expensive. I'm not charged sales tax on Patreon.
BillyWardlaw
I've been a subscriber for over 4 years and I'm switching over today. I am assuming I will still get the September stuff in MyMiniFactory. *fingers-crossed Also, Since I was already been charged for September on Patreon, will that charge carry over to Guildhall, or am I essentially being double charged for Sept? Thanks.
Artisan Guild
Proprio cosí :)
Eric Obara
The website’s FAQ says they will still send their files to MMF.
Eric Obara
Fantastic set! These guys will be facing your gnoll folk on the table soon.
Eric Obara
Yeah. Same.
Adam Grima
So I need to unsubscribe on Patreon then wait a week and subscribe on https://artisanguildminiatures.com/join-the-guildhall/monthly-subscription ?
Mini Manatee
they have mentioned (and its in the FAQ on their guildhall site) ~ that you will still get access to them on MMF at the end of the month as normal (but you will also get them in their own library immediately upon release)
BillyWardlaw
Will our models still be made available on MyMiniFactory if we switch to Guildhall?
Artisan Guild
Hello! We mantained the same price we have on tribe, as for the Merchants who are playing less than that, they will receive a promotion to lower their price and match the current patreon tier, same for the first 100 Adventurers:)
Ermes
Se disdico qui, aspetto il 1 ottobre per sottoscrivere sul sito? grazie
Craig Demaer
Andrea posted this on Discord "About Merchants and first 100 Adventurers tiers, who have a special price, we will create either a private tier for them or set up a discount, so they will not have to pay more than now. We are learning how to do that"
Kip
or those of us on the $35 merchant tier. :(
3dKleetus
Cancel it, then it will ask if you want to continue to subscribe (Free) to them. it will bring up a toggle switch, you can turn it on or off.
Matthew Jones
Joining Guildhall on the 1st!!! This release is amazing… it is hard to pick a favorite! I am in love with the chaos Minocs and the Pinup. Every miniature here is beautiful and amazing! I am printing all of it!
DoubleDMiniatures
Would love to see paint tutorials from you guys
Adam Beck
unsubcribing still keeps it in your list of patreons now by the look of it
retroflow
Respectfully, the point about not wanting to pass the 30% increase due to Apple’s fees onto patrons rings a bit false when you consider that the Merchant tier on Guildhall is an almost 30% increase from what I’m paying currently ($35).
Talvara
I'm not seeing a free tier on Patreon to switch to. How does that work? when I try to change my membership it only shows the $13, merchant and now 1 open slot of the first 100 tier.
Rene Mlinaric
Will you continue to add the minis to MMF or will they only be added to the guildhall library ?
Scott Woods
I'm on the first 100 tier and don't want to lose that benefit by switching over - is it at all possible for this limited tier to receive exclusive models, since we have been loyal for a long period?
Ray Dwigans
can I transfer all my past libray from MMF to Guildhall?
Joshua Besaw
Still disappointing as that is a concept you’ve noticeably bounced back and forth on from release to release
Erik
So just to be clear, if I go for a free membership on Patreon now and sign up to Guildhall in October, I will still get all files in my MMF library? This is really important to me
Stuart Lake
I mistakenly joined the GH early and received a duplicate of the September files, but it is all good.
Artisan Guild
Your purchases are not lost, J B! Patreon at this stage don't support libraries either.
Bernat Rovira Lastra
It will be avaliable in MMF anyway, doesn't it?
Artisan Guild
You can join Guildhall in any time during october, but remember to unsubscribe first here (you can keep your membership as free member)
Kaiser
Joining the GH and glad we're finally getting Beastmen, will go perfectly with the rest of my beast horde.
Craig Demaer
What’s happening with the people that are on the $29 USD merchant tier here? I only see a $45 one at the new site.
Artisan Guild
Just as regular goats, female Gobors are indistinguishable from the male ones. The pinup is not canon :)
Empire of Minis
We like the premise of the Guildhall and would love to support Artisan Guild in a way that benefits it the most so we will definitely switch over. We do have a question about the Merchant Tier. As a company we would have to receive a Sales Tax Invoice for all business expenses. The Patreon payment email is not even a legitimate invoice but it's the only thing they provide so it has to do. So the question is, will Artisan Guild provide monthly invoices to its Merchants that make use of the Guildhall? If not then it could be problematic to switch.
Artisan Guild
Hello Kenneth! Yes! you can switch to Free member here now, and wait day 1/2 of October to join Guildhall :)
Artisan Guild
Thank you!
Artisan Guild
Thank you guys!
Emmet Boylan
Cool. I'll cancel here so and join the Guildhall at the start of the month.
J B
Sigh. I understand why and it is reasonable, but I'll almost never log into an tertiary site, leaving my purchases/rewards lost and forgotten. I prefer to have all my stuff in one convenient place.
Bernat Rovira Lastra
If we don't want to miss any sculpt, should we do it now or wait till October begin?
William Funderburk
I see in guild hall pricing you USD and I believe another Currency. Which one will guildhall use.
Hans-Walter
The website will serve ALSO as a backlog like mmf, from what I've understood
Joshua Besaw
The lack of female miniatures in this set was a huge disappointment. 😑
default_entry
I'll have to make the switch. Patreon doesn't deserve my business.
Kenneth Hinton
To get the October rewards and only get charged once should we switch tiers to free here now and then wait until Oct 1st to sign up for the Guildhall?
SL
Same question. I want all my files in one place, and for me, that's MMF.
A_G_S
As soon as October comes I'll definitely transfer across to the Guild Hall
Artisan Guild
Yes, we will extract the lists from Guildhall as the month end and deliver the sets to MMF too.
Gustav Lagrell
Will subscribing to the guild hall still allow for the receiving of the files on MyMiniFactory? It’s such a great way of saving all the files without taking up all the space on my hard drives.
Raging Heroes
Very cool release ! Love the savageness. The biggest guys are really amazing 😍
