Hail dear Merchants and Adventurers!
I hope you enjoyed printing and painting the Arcanists from the previous Set!
This month we explore the depths of Mundus again, reaching a powerful civilization known as the Gnomes of Golemmar, those cornered by dangerous prey and a harsh environment, gave birth to the constructs known as the Golems.
Various Golems, in fact, have been donated by these glorious Gnomes of the depths to the prestigious City of Knowledge, Eldanar, as a gift of thanks for giving refuge to those Gnomes who have fled the war.
Once again I stepped out of my comfort zone made up of barbarians, orcs and dwarves, to create something unique in the universe of Artisan Guild.
Threatened by the treacherous creatures of the Depths and the recent Simulacra rebellion, the ingenious Gnomes of Golemmar have combined animancy and geomancy to develop technologies and weapons to survive the unforgiving underworld. Although many of them have fled the Depths to take refuge in Eldanar, the city of Knowledge, the most tenacious Gnomes defend Golemmar under the protection of the Priestess-Warrior Ishtarra and the powerful Heroic-King Gilgamesh.
Golemmar Gnomes
The Gnomes of the depths, also known as Golemmar Gnomes, are an ingenious and mysterious race of small humanoids highly akin to magic, passionate about precious stones, minerals and gems.
Gnomes are said to be distant cousins
of the Dwarves, albeit thinner and even smaller in size.
Centuries of research and studies dedicated to the use of Arcane energy to improve their underground life, have led the Gnomes of Golemmar to a very advanced technological development, giving life to numerous artifacts designed to give energy to their underground cities, extract the most precious minerals, and finally defend against the most aggressive creatures of the depths.
The Golems, massive creatures employed to defend the city of Golemmar, were invented by this cunning race and took their name from the capital; but recently, souled Golems called Simulacra, have rebelled and fled to the deserts of Denmora.
Today, many families of Deep Gnomes live in cities such as Eldanar on the outskirts of the war with the Slathaai, who after enslaving several underground villages, aim to conquer the glorious city of Golemmar, ruled by King Gilgamesh and the Queen Ishtara.
Depth Diggers
Sharing the same habitat for very long years, the massive species of Zeek known as Depth Diggers have been a constant threat to the Gnomes, to the point of bringing them to the brink of extinction. To dominate this species of huge rock-eating arthropods with mighty jaws, the Gnomes developed machinery capable of generating sounds capable of rudimentary communication with the young of this species. Through low or high tones that may sound like music, the Depth Diggers can be trained by the Gnomes to live in complete symbiosis with them, assisting them in mining and defending settlements.
The hard chitin shells of these Zeeks can be used as armor and weapon material, and their eggs are a nutritious form of sustenance, used with deep roots even to make a sweet liqueur.
Gilgamesh – King of Golemmar
“As long as I sit on Golemmar's throne, the slimy Slathaai won't be able to breach our glorious city!”
- Gilgamesh, King of Golemmar.
Born in the heart of the mountain, the legendary Hero-King Gilgamesh reigns with Queen Ishtara the Gnomic cities of the underground between Rotvar and Skutagaard. Born in a time of adversity and forged by hundreds of battles against Dumlok and Slathaai, this Gnome ascended the throne by defeating in battle a voracious Delani, a huge dragon of the depths that threatened to destroy Golemmar after having swallowed hundreds of Gnomes and razed several towns to the ground.
Gilgamesh is also a famous geomancer and echanter, known as lord of the Golems, from which the Gnomic capital takes its name. Over the course of his existence he built hundreds of Golems, to protect his kingdom: giants who proved indispensable to deal with the monsters of the depths, given the small size of the Gnomic people.
Although many of his likes have fled to the surface due to invasions, the brave and cunning Gnome King continues to defend his people against the treacherous Slathaai, protecting centuries of culture and art enshrined in Golemmar's city.
Ishtara – Queen of Golemmar
"Even if the battle is won with the sword, it is with wisdom that we end a war."
- Ishtarra, Queen of Golemmar.
The noble Isthara is the Priestess-Warrior Queen of the deep Gnomes, paragon of wisdom and strength according to the Gnomic culture. Unlike those who sat on the throne before her, Queen Ishtara fought on the front line each battle that saw her people as the protagonist, armed with armor and swords in pure thorium, and accompanied by her faithful guardian Lamassu.
According to the Gnomic tradition, in fact, each princess is assigned a guardian beast since her birth.
Ishtara erected several temples dedicated to battle veneration and beauty, bringing culture and prosperity to the kingdom of Golemmar.
Golemmar Lamassu
Powerful feathered wings, a massive bull-like body, lion hair and anthropomorphic head are the characteristics of a Lamassu, legendary beasts that once guided the peoples of Mundus with their wisdom.
These sacred beasts were once widespread in the Rotvar plains, dedicated to protecting ancient sites of cults, sarcophagi or temples, but dragons have reduced their numbers to a few.
In the depths of the underworld, however, it is said that a single lineage of Lamassu has accompanied members of the royal house of Gnomes for countless centuries.
Golemmar's Lamassu, guardian of Queen Ishtara since her birth, is a ferocious beast that proves invaluable against the onslaught of the Slathaai for its total immunity to magic and the soul arts.
Princess Mylitta - Golemmar Pinup
The Golem construction discipline for the Gnomes of the depths is a true art, and Princess Mylitta is one of its greatest exponents. Passionate about beauty and harmony, she is the one who created the design of the most recent models of Golem and Simulacra.
Golemmar Ruin
The ancient settlements of the Gnomes razed to the ground by the Slathaai, house ancient statues in ruins representing the Ancient kings of Golemmar. These massive sculptures have witnessed the destruction brought by the treacherous monstrosities of the depths, and the courage and resilience of the Gnomic race.
GUILDS (beta) is a tabletop miniatures skirmish wargame set in an intriguing arcane world called Mundus, a place inhabited by mythic creatures and scoured by warfare.
You take the role of a Guildmaster, a cunning or resolute leader of a rising Guild.
As you build your Guildhall, you’ll recruit Infantry warriors, cavalry units, and fearsome beasts. It’s up to you to lead your guild to face grueling battles against rival guilds, epic monstrosities and other sinister forces.
Throughout a Campaign, you’ll embark on Quests to compete with other guilds for spoils and treasure. Each skirmish risks defeat and setback, but also the opportunity to seize unique relics and gain new powers. As your renown grows and the influence of your guild spreads, you’ll have the chance to attract Arcanists, Epic Heroes, and even Legendary Beasts to your cause.
Six powerful forces seek to conquer Mundus and bring the realm under their sway. You and your guild may very well be the ones to tip the scales in the conflict for the fate of the mortals.
Download GUILDS (beta) PDF in the Attachments.
- A new GUILDS version is under construction. We are updating the way you recruit units to make sure you can play with any number of infantry!
This improvement is made to suit players who want to try the game without printing a large number of models of the same type, or want to diversify a small guild by including a few very different units.

Thanks. I appreciate the reply. Was close to getting one but gonna hold off until I do some research. I've got some film coming for my resin printer and should be back printing soon 😀
Justin Hawley
its hard to say. I've seen some people turn out pretty good miniatures with FDM printers but it takes a lot more work and tweaking. I'm not sure if you can really use the presupported models either since those are pretty much built for resin. But you can look online and see that people are in fact creating decent miniatures with FDM... just no where near the quality that resin can. That being said I don't have a lot of experience with filament printers so If anyone out there does feel free to chime in.
MrMix1212
random question, thinking about getting a fdm/filament printer. Do the files work for that too?
War Mammoth
Well done! Never thought I would want to build a gnome army until you released this! Fantastic. Lamassu is amazing.
Gagius
I see, thanks ^^
Artisan Guild
We used to offer Loyalty Rewards, however, we recently decided to temporarily suspend them, and instead include Epic Boss-type figures in the monthly releases. So, you won't have to wait 3 months to receive epic minis, you'll get them every month in the set :)
Thannak
I really want to see more of these Gnomes in the future! Babylon deserves some nonevil nonhuman fantasy love.
Milo_Jones
I believe its every 3 months. Their is a new one every 3 months and you can buy the old ones on MyMiniFactory
Cydalone
Wow, that Lamassu really kicks a$$!!
Gagius
*chef´s kiss* Question, do you offer loyalty rewards?
Ian Livingston
These gnomes are on point! I hope each subsequent month is just as good!
Artisan Guild
Ahahah, I did not think about it!
Artisan Guild
Hello Rye! Being still in beta, GUILDS is under test and every rule from the most basic to the advanced is always under discussion. We are working on a new recruitment system and for this reason we have not introduced any new factions, but we will soon!
Rye Capulong
Silly question but are there new GUILDS Units pdf that contains the new Guilds released for 2022?
Draxx Zakuto
It's gonna be a good gnomevember
House Hendoe
Still much praise and I just refer to my Youtube comment.
Will Long
Solid work. Just a heads up, "Wild Depth Digger B (no saddle)" still has a bag stuck to its left side.

Artisan Guild
Thank you so much!
Artisan Guild
thanks for the help B. Griffith! Yes, I provide MMF the patreon list once it's complete at the end of the month.
Sheldon Hall
Thanks
B. Griffith
The current month gets added to MMF at the beginning of next month... more or less. October hasn't been added quite yet, and November won't be added until early December. Download them from the links (I prefer MyAirBridge) if you want them sooner.
Sheldon Hall
Am I the only one not getting these on their Mymini factory?
SmoothSailing
These look amazing! I adore steampunk/arcane tech and gnomes are just great. The Mesopotamian motif you went with is so creative and unique, these are truly works of art, fantastic job!
