The Trolls are finally live, prepare your printers!
Links are located below the next Pictures.
This clan of Trolls lives in the mysterious Svartwood Forest, situated in the frozen region of Skutagaard.
I'm really inspired by this new setting and I'm looking forward to expand this region with more factions soon!
For this release I strongly wanted to recreate that dark and spooky feeling of the old fairies and trolls book.
These Trolls are inspired by Scandinavian and Norwegian folklore tales, so they got some furs here and there, and the characteristic tails.
SVARTWOOD TROLLS - LORE
Svartwood Troll Hunters (Modular Unit)
Trolls comes in all size and varieties, and being one of the most ancient people, no one knows their origins.
They have inhabited the lands of mortals for as long as anyone can remember.
Some Trolls are like wild animals, some are intelligent enough to create kingdoms.
You may come across savage Trolls or great smith and wiseman.
Common characteristics among Trolls are their strength, their arcane resistance, their innate ability to quickly regenerate any wound, their great stature; noses capable of perceiving smells from miles away, they have very acute eyesight and hearing, their blood is sought by craftsmen and alchemists, they breed with other races, and they do not like fire.
Being the Svartwood Forest a passageway to and from the frozen lands of Skutagaard, the Trolls of Svartwood had the opportunity to learn from many races, creating a large community ruled by the greedy Troll King Drungvandel.
The Tolls are self-proclaimed lords of Svartwood, and as the benevolent lords they consider themselves, they allow those who recognise their greatness to live or roam freely through the forest,… for the right price. In fact, the secret city of Trollhule hide a treasure worth of an emperor.
The task of the Troll Hunters is to provide food for their community and to control the borders from any invaders, expecially the annoying and hated dwarves.
These modular Trolls fits 50mm bases.
Troll Hags (Modular Unit)
Some Trolls are born with an innate ability to bend arcane energy and are called Hags.
The Trolls Hags have a few tasks including performing sacrifices in honour of the nature spirits, caring for the wounded and sick, and, to fuel through sacrifices and magic the hidden Runic Doors that makes it impossible to reach the Trollhule, the secret reing under the mountain of King Drungvandel.
To make male magic user trolls, just use modular staff and talismans on the hunters. 50mm bases.
Drungvandel, the Troll King (2-headed Troll Hero)
Another known fact about Trolls communities is: if a Double-headed Troll appears, all Trolls have to bend on his knee or be killed. King Drungvandel thinks he is the undisputed lord of Swartwood and anyone wishing to live in or pass through the forest must pay proper tribute to the Troll King or be eaten. Thanks to their great sense of smell, trolls can sense anyone who enters their territory, after which few dare try to escape. The ill-fated, brought before the king, must deliver as tribute the most valuable thing with them at that moment to satisfy Drungvandel's greed.
Gammelgren the Elder (Troll Druid Hero)
Gammelgren is a master druid and one of the oldest trolls in the Svartwood community, as an intermediary between the peoples of the woods and the Trolls, it is thanks to him that Trollhule does not go to war with the other savage creatures of Skutagaard.
Having a good nose for arcane treasures and magic trinckets, Gammelgren is the one who judge whether the gift and treasures given to the troll king are worth their lives. Gammelgren, taking advantage of Drungvandel's greed, began to collect both treasures of great value and useful for the growth of the community.
One of his greatest achievements was forcing the famous Dwarven Runesmith Toraf Smijern to offer his services to the troll community.
Giant Svart Troll (Epic Beast)
Not even the Svartwood Trolls of the community know where the Giant Trolls came from, they could be a variety of large Trolls whose intellect has evolved less than their size, or they could be the son of Trolls and Jotunns. What is known is that one day a particularly large Giant Svart Troll entered the hunting grounds of the troll hunters and decimated quite a few of them before being knocked out by Drungvandel. The king wanted to eat the invader hearth and eyes, but was convinced by Gammelgren that it was better to try and tame the wild troll to use it against the hated Dwarves.
The Giant Troll base is 100mm.
Gwendrel the Troll Maiden (Huldra Pinup)
Being even rarer than a Double-headed troll, Troll Maidens are mysterious beautiful trolls who are worshipped as protecting spirits and bringers of good luck.
Also called Huldra by dwarves and men, these ancestral spirits often attract and lead incautious adventurers and wanderers to death.
According to testimonies, the human kingdom of Helska, situated east of Svartwood, was destroyed by Drungvandel and his Trolls when its prince, after learning about the healing effects of Troll Maiden’s blood, dared to kidnap a huldra. Today the kingdom of Helska lives only in history books!
Gwendrel come with a 30mm base.
Svartwood troll Lair (Scatter Terrain)
While the common Wild Trolls lives in caves or dens made of animal pelts, the civilized Svartwood Trolls created a great kingdom under the mountain to hide their treasures from the gredy men and dwarves. According to those who have visited Trollhule, the secret entrances to their lair dwells inside giant trees and caves. These Runic Doors are totally invisible to those who do not possess the magical runic activation stones; a defensive system copied from the dwarves.
And the Weapons!
(forged by the kidnapped Dwarf Runesmith Toraf Smijern!)

His sculpts are so characterful, and he is a single sculptor Patreon just like myself :)
Have a happy printing guys,
I can't wait to see how you will paint these large trolls.
Happy andventures in the forest of Svartwood!

I was also wondering about a code for March release. I joined a week ago, and can't seem to find a code for the trolls. Love all these designs! Thanks for your help.
Artisan Guild
Hi, Evan! We follow the time zone (CEST), UTC +2, that's why we may take it off early for you, but for us the month is already over. Anyway, you can always send us a message and we will gladly send it to you :)
Renato Tarabella
Can you tell us your print parameters? Thanks :)
Renato Tarabella
Hi JawsBFShark, i'm sorry for that and for the late answer. I have submitted the problem to our beta-testers. To me, seem a problem caused by parameters that you use as the exposition but i prefer to talk with our group to solve the problem. In case there are no problems to update the supported model.
Endiron
Wondering the same as Evan and Charles -- just joined today before the set was advertised to come down, and it's showing the link was removed...
Charles Barker
I joined today, am I able to get the march release or do I need to be refunded the month?
Kady
Just got back from vacation and it seems you guys pulled the link down a day early again >_<
Jeppe Mulich
I had the same issue with the giant svart troll on a Mars 3.
JawsBFShark
I love these models but the pre-supported giant troll and two headed king can't be printed with the pre-supports consistantly. There is too much surface area to be printed for the number of supports available about mid-print causing the models to pull off the supports and the print to fail. The larger models for the past few months have all had similar issues. Failures were on Mars and Photon Mono at approximately same layer height.
TC Letchworth
A Lens clip was sent out on March 11 that featured a WIP of Dwarven archers.
Arkham Creed
And where was this posted?
CURTIS CRADDOCK
Yes. A different style of dwarves, but still... more dwarves.
B. Griffith
Did I miss an announcement somewhere? Why is everyone talking about Dwarves all of a sudden? Is that April’s theme?
Per Hedner
I love these scandinavian trolls. Im a big fan of Trudvang, north mythology and the artist John Bauer. They are now probably my favourite miniatures. Three troll hunters already printed and primed. Gonna hopefully start painting them this weekend. I checked out your other collections on MMF, so much awsome stuff. Im here to stay for a long time.
Michael Abraham
I on the other hand love and need the dwarves, yes I have some but not like these!!! I love the sculpts and style, keep up the good work!
Benjamin Engl
Yeah feel the same about more dwarves.
Mercurius
I definitely don't need more dwarves, as they seldom find their way onto my table at all. Unless I can get some samurai dwarves, in which case, I'm ALL IN.
CURTIS CRADDOCK
Love the trolls but I really don't need any more dwarves.
Andrew
Thats the 3 month loyalty reward, you get the normal King with the Trolls pack.
Primogenitor Prime
I was a bit too fast skimming the video I can see - where can I get that troll king on the throne? That was actually what I really wanted :D
Tim Bisel
Do you know if we will be sent share in Myminifactory.com to linknitnto our account there?
Roy Brownlee
They don't have stat sheets
Tim Bisel
New here, are there 5e stat sheets and I am missing them or are there not any?
Happy
One of the best month ever! But is it possible to get Gammelgren the Elder (Troll Druid Hero) also without top part of base? Just with bare feet? So we can use it with any kind of base. I know it is practicable to cut in Meshmixer/3dBuilder/Blender by myself, but I think it will be useful for more people then just me.
Robb
I can vouch for Wills stuff—I’ve been a supporter for a few years now—a unique and refreshing take on fantasy figs—always looking forward to seeing what he can come up with next!
Will Sutton
I am just a solo artist so it can vary how much is put out in a month. Last month there were a crazy amount of Gnomepoleonic gnomes + gonk gnomes, and also a cool gaming table! I post some concepts and let the patrons rank them for what they would like next, and I just post as I finish things—I don’t hold them for a big drop at the next month… I have an “all-inclusive” tier that will let you catch up on things you’ve missed, like my Trolls—because it gives you access to the whole catalog of miniatures and terrain for only $20. If you are not familiar with my work, you can see it, follow my blog and see my portfolio at www.zandoriastudios.com Thanks, Will
Ondrej Molnár
Beautiful designs. I have purchased almost all your bundles before I discovered the patreon, but I do not even mind paying the full price since you deserve it :) Keep it up
Matthew Bowen
As a forever DM the idea of a Troll King of throne excites me. I like to use models like this to enhance a battle board, what's better that a troll king lording over his minions as they fail to defeat the enemies.
Aaron Reynolds
I love that you shouted out to another Patreon. I'm VERY intrigued by Will Sutton's stuff, but the Patreon page is a little vague on what a typical monthly release looks like. Anybody know? Or maybe Will Sutton himself is here and can speak to it. I looked through previous posts but it was unclear to me what I could expect to receive each month (number of minis, types, etc). Any info would be great! Thank you!
Will Sutton
Thanks for the shout out! 😎
B. Griffith
And wow, the Patreon recommendation is a GOOD one. Exactly the sort of stuff I’m always on the lookout for. THANK YOU!
B. Griffith
These really are just SO nice. The last thing I need is D&D trolls, but these proper Scandinavian trolls are AWESOME! The troll maiden is wonderful, too!
Drew Granger
Don't forget, just because the minis are badass doesn't mean they should kill the players everytime 😉
Alex A
Another amazing collection. Time after time. Just fantastic style and variety - and modularity to boot! Kudos.
Billy Miles
OUTSTANDING models - very anxious to get these printed and painted!! i'm so happy i joined this patreon!
DrProfHazzmatt
I thought I was excited to print and paint the Dragonguard models. I am HYPED to get these trolls printed and painted.
