Artisan Guild

Hey Mallaury, I can see your frustation, but I honestly spent between 2 to 3 days on each one of the extra heroes I made, about 3 times what I need to make one of the modular models (after I spend more time making the first armor). I had to run like a crazy and spend several night working to make what I call a double release. To me it has been exactly the double of the job. I hope you enjoy the models!

Mallaury Ferneschola

If anything you all who complained about us who pointed a real issue should thank us instead because we got what we deserve in the end, a full ONE release. It being marketed as a double release is just absurd and to try to imply that the previous release was a full one. Now we got our full release trailer right in time.

Just dont download the pinup models? I dont understand the problem.

It's hardly value lost - these take the place of cavalry this month. But the video spoiler just showed troops! I'm hyped!

B. Griffith

I hope, after the recent announcement, that you feel like you were kind of a jerk.

B. Griffith

Yeah, what makes Artisan Guild better, up in my opinion, than Titan Forge is the style. Titan Forge was the first fantasy mini maker I subscribed to, but I don’t anymore, and AG is my longest consecutively subscribed fantasy Patreon. TF makes nice, serviceable, but honestly pretty bland minis. AG has STYLE. Even when doing something as basic as thieves, they just ooze character, and all have fantastic dynamic poses. If you just care about quantity, fine, but the artistry isn’t even in the same ballpark. That said, I like the pinups, too. They may not always be as USEFUL as other models, but they’re fun.

Dustan Archer

There's constructive feedback, then there's this - telling the artist that they didn't do enough and don't deserve to be paid for their hard work because it's not precisely what you want. There's a gulf of difference between the two.

Dustan Archer

I'm pretty sure the numbers of people staying subbed versus people leaving speak for themselves next month. A vocal minority is certainly vocal, but still a minority.

Rowby DeBacker

I've been wanting to have my kids take over the printing portion of my hobby but ive held off on Artisan Guild because of the pin-ups. Im actually glad not to see any in this set. And these warforged are quite well imagined! Especially the wooden warforge / crazy druid chick :D Now thats an original idea.

Shamrock1916

I disagree, I think Artisan Guild's unique art style set it apart from its competitors.

Hellvlad

Yeah, I'm sure it's going to be very helpful to the creator to tell people giving a constructive feedback to basically fuck off, quit bitching and unsub. That's exactly what he needs.

WarriorPriest

I wouldn't say vast majority. Just cause the few comments here tend to agree with you doesn't mean the entire group feels that way. I am not happy about the lack of numbers with this release. I wasn't even going to comment till I read your reply where you seem to think you speak for most of us.

Hellvlad

Titan Forge provides twice as much content fully modular. What set Artisan guild aside was the pin up. His loss, competition is fierce.

Jason Burke

I absolutely love these models. Awesome work!

Dustan Archer

So don't pay. It's that simple. You don't like the work next month? Unsubscribe and let your money speak, and let the vast majority of us be excited for a release of warforged from AG that has been requested for almost 2 years.

Whiskeyjack

Artisan Guild has provided excellent quality and value every month since the beginning. The monthly fee is like buying 1 or 2 premium files on myminifactory. I don't feel like he owes us anything as he has provided a decent value. I was simply sad to miss the pinup. But if he doesn't want to make one this month that's fine. Pushing him to make one will not inspire good work, it will just be disrespecting his wish to have a break. We all need a break from time to time. I understand you're frustrated with the release this month as you've made many posts today about it, but maybe you could consider letting it go and looking forward to next month, or unsubscribing if you really feel like your getting no value for your purchase.

Mallaury Ferneschola

Or we can push to have one this month even if it comes on christmas! there is no reason for us not to have what we should have for the usual price

Mallaury Ferneschola

Yeah, do it

Whiskeyjack

The models are gorgeous, but honestly I was sad to see no pinup as they are my favoritemodels to paint each month. You've managed to make a pinup each month fit the theme no matter how bizarre the race is. I was looking forward to see how you did the warforged pinup. Hopefully next month we can return to having a sexy someone to paint.

Mallaury Ferneschola

If we got these, I would not complain about the release! we miss troops and the pin up, it is almost half the value lost.

Mallaury Ferneschola

But by every means, it is less bang for our buck. We will be charged the same for less.

Mallaury Ferneschola

Every troops were modular, so how are these models being modular but with less quantity an excuse? aside of few mechanical details on the faces, they wear clothes that would work for non warforged heroes. So yes, factually we get less bang for our bucks. The least we could have is to pay less if we get less. If we do not fight when people give us worse than usual, then no wonder that prices rise everywhere since no one fights back. Example, the Arcanist release was two months ago, if the Witchblade girl got replaced with Amber posted here, everyone would have gotten a warforged hero that fit the release. Garett and Clay would have worked perfectly in the City of intrigue stuff. I got mages and bounties hunters recently, so aside of them being mechanical, it feels like I play for slightly different things I bought recently.

Billy Miles

"very few models" - these are modular, so you're getting a lot more than just these, really. and "no pinup"...? lol yeah i can see how that could piss off somebody!

Gagius

He did give fair warning, want to unsub? Fair, but don´t bitch about it mate.

Dustan Archer

You call this slacking off? These are incredible models of a very sought after style for insanely cheap. So long - this sort of attitude won't be missed, I'm sure.

Mallaury Ferneschola

Same here, we got bounties hunters and mages recently, aside of them being golems, where is the value in it? I am not spending full price for minis I already have lookalikes of.

Mallaury Ferneschola

No pinup and very few models, thanks for giving us a good reason to unsubscribe! If you do not give us as many models and if you cut a part of it, aka the pinup AND the troops, just so you get to slack off one month, the least you can do is also to charge us less. Every model you do are quality, so quality is not a factor of it a release is good or not in my opinion. Yes, they do look great, but if I have to compare with the Baal releases and the Arcanist release, it feels really weak.

Dennis Ware

Incredible designs! <3

Crafty Kenobi

All of these are great, but I love the wargolem the most. Great job and keep up the good work.

David Ammann

I know there are those who will feel the exact opposite, but a long sought character type done with a lot of individuality is so good for me. I’d give up a pinup for a character like Clay every month, no question. I use my minis for ttrpg purposes, not war gaming, so 10/10 minis I can actually use is more value than I typically get here. This month is a win for me, an artistic treat, and just so so good. Thank you for this month!

Hellvlad

Well I'm certainly getting less value from my sub here than the previous months. This is barely half the minis of a previous releases. Heroes or troops, call them as you like. Slapping funny names on minis does not change anything. Releasing much less of them does. Well I guess I will be saving some resin.

JJWPENGUIN

Seconded! I would love to see 2-3 a year if possible, although I just like modular hands and wish for more Firbolg models so just keep doing what makes you happy and do your best to self care where you can!

JJWPENGUIN

As mentioned in a previous post at the beginning of November, he was doing this as a break from his normal routine while addressing the popular Warforged demand. This likely won't be his "New Norm".

Trey P

I love the set! Warforged have always been an under-designed race so happy and excited to print these!

Guillermo Gonzalez

I actually have a gnome gunmage in a Rhyme of the Frostmaiden campaign and his name is Glint Westwood. I have been looking for some stl all over the web that would have adequate magelock pistols, and Clays are it!!!

Jim Sørensen

I love this set. I know it won't be for everyone, but I like the options presented for a race that normally don't get to much attention. I think you've made som interesting heroes, that serves as great inspiration for future characters. Clay Westwood is probably my favorite one, among this pack of beautiful models. For those who missed it, this is a pack of war-forged heroes, so not the regular set we're used to get. But the regular sets will continue in January, so no need to panic.

John Gramer

Wow! I am so excited to see these on my painting table!

Rob

Looks great but I am missing the troops and things for guilds! Maybe do multiple races for the next hero set?

Emmalee Stanwood

Andrea, you're doing amazing work! Thank you for sculpting such gorgeous models for this community ❤️

Simon Moore

Outstanding stuff. Definitely want to print these out and get them on the tabletop.!!!

Hellvlad

I can hardly make a warband out of this. I'm missing the modular models I subbed in in first place. I hope this is just an occasional thing. If this becomes the new norm, I will lose interest.

Adam

I'd love a couple regular troop poses as well. Your sets are usually great for making armies out of.

David Lyse

Just...WOW! I am so amazed and impressed with your sculpting ability! Beautiful models!! I would also request a pinup model. Something along the "Sexy Robot" theme?

PaBa

Love the Darksiders vibes :)

Killian Forest

Hey! Great ones! But I miss the pinup model :'(

SteveWasEre

Spectacular! So amazing! One of your absolute best!

SuperSilverAnthony

Really enjoyed how this set looks, can't wait to print them!

default_entry

I'm torn because these are amazing but I also want generic warforged troops!

JoEll Clark

The only thing I feel the set is missing is the pin-up model, which is one of the parts that I really enjoy seeing every month. That by no means takes away from your hard work great job.

Abdul Rahman Khan

Clay Westwood is freaking awesome!

Tierra de Aventuras

that Nagrot is a goood necron overlord

Scooteroo

This looks like an amazing set! I do hope you change your mind and add a golem/warforged pin up to this. I do love each one of those from you guys and would love to see your take on this as well!

Jason Whitaker

ohooo I love it maybe weird experimental months should be a regular occurrence? like set aside one or two months a year to do whatever feels right

Boomháuer

I too would like to see a pinup model even in this more character driven set.

Azuset

Now that I have an example of what the Heroic Releases would be. I think it would be excellent to see them a couple times a year. These are fantastic like all of your work!

Christopher Stevens

Each sculpt looks so good, seems like you had fun with this. Who doesn't love more hero options? I always love what you're putting out month to month, do whatever keeps it fresh and fun for you. If you're bored of the formulaic process you won't be doing your best work and we wouldn't get the awesome minis we've come to love.

Phillip Tyndall

Love this set! We’ll done! I hope it scratched that itch and you truly enjoyed making it!

Jeffrey Pace

I adore this set. Cannot wait to get printed!

Michael Lauritzen

Can't say that I am opposed to monthly units and such, but this just drips character, so many options, so many details to work with. If this is your idea of a change of pace, I am all for it. Keep your creative batteries charged! Your efforts are appreciated.

DustlessOrphan

I actually enjoy the more character driven models. I would support several releases with this kind of format

Raymond Sempek

I feel like I say this every month, but this might be the coolest set you've created thus far

Bryan Davidson

Well done... just phenomenal.

Artisan Guild

One of my favourite songs! Their music inspired me so much 😁

MatthewL71

This set is awesome, lots of variety between the heroes which is really great

Zachary Rucker

The only thing I miss is the golem pinup. Imagine a golem with their chest plate off, one hand covering those indecency exposed gears... really gets the motor running! But seriously, love the hero collection.

Joe

These look great , I'm all for this type of release.

isaac priddy

FINALLY! I have been waiting for something like this forever, and they look awesome :)

Tom Fossell

This is easily top 2 sets for me, I don't know if it was a ton more work given all of the heroic details, but I'd really like to see this done for a handful more races (elves, humans, dwarves, etc.) How will this set factor into the Guilds game? I assume given the name that they belong to the same faction as the previous 2 releases of the requiem brotherhood?

SmoothSailing

OH MY GOODNESS! I couldn’t have hoped for cooler more unique characters! These are phenomenal! I have no idea what I’ll print first! These are truly amazing!

Sam Clark

This is a really exciting release! I hope you'll do more hero-based releases like this in the future

Gerald Valentine

Very cool! Would have loved to have seen a monk class in there as well, though. Might be able to convert the thief into a monk with a little work.

Tobias Wolf

Nice work!! Thank you so much!

James Smith

Idk how I feel about this set TBH. On one hand, I LOVE these sculpts and the fact that we have a warforged set. On the other, I just don't feel as though this had comparable value of sets past. Overall, I'd have to say a win. Curious what future sets would look like.

Thales Gomes

Stunning ❤️

Andrew McMillan

Those are awesome, don’t see enough warforged. The barbarian with the huge sword is fantastic

Rubén Palomo Llinares

Probably my favourite release from you. Mindblowing!! Hope you made more months like this in the future with other concepts heroes, like “insect-like heroes”, or “elemental-kin heroes”. Or even dwarf or elven heroes releases!! With so much character behind this, such releases would be awasome.
