The Thieves Guild is coming next month! (July)
🕑 Added 2021-06-25 20:16:54 +0000 UTCHello friends!
Please forgive us for the late. It's not a simple season and things are going a bit slow, but as always we will be releasing the next models in time for day 2-3 July.
Here the trailer of the next 3d printable set, the Thieves Guild.
They are perfect to be used as thieves, assassins, rogues and bandits, but also ranger and warriors due to their versions with and without hoods ;)
If you are curious about the background of this faction, here some lore, just below the picture :)
As always it's probably not grammatically perfect, but it might help for your roleplaying session or to immerse yourself in our universe.
THIEVES GUILD LORE
Thieves Guild Adepts
Very little is known about the legendary Thieves' Guild in Rotvar an ancient and dark organization. Born in the shadows of ancient eras, it is only known that it is led by a group called the Hand of Shadow. You cannot enter the Thieves 'Guild, it is the Thieves' Guild who chooses its members among the most talented thieves. In a world riddled by monsters and demons, the Adept Thieves of the guild are not only trained to be invisible shadows, but also skilled fighters with swords, daggers, bows and crossbows. There is no treasure or relic that the Guild cannot steal out of greed or a wealthy patron.
Thieves Guild Steeds
The swift and elegant horses of the Thieves Guild are a crossbreed for quick escapes and silent robberies. Used as battle horses only rarely, they lend themselves perfectly to the dynamic fighting style of the warrior thieves, who shot darts and slash with their blades while encircling their opponents.
Aaron Blacksparrow
Joining the Guild at a young age, he’s the most talented thief in the Guild. It’s famous in the lands of Rotvar for having kidnapped the raven demon Shadowclaws from the dungeons of Dosmagal under the nose of Lord Casymir himself. Thanks to his deeds, and his incredible skill with the sword worthy of a master swordsman, he become one of the five Thieves Master of the Hand of Shadow. Today in Rotvar a nursery rhyme can be heard every now and then “watch out in the evening if you hear the crows singing, hide the jewels for Blacksparrow is hungry!”
Wendy Greywing
Coming from a noble family, Wendy was kidnapped by the Guild as a child after the Hand of Shadow discovered that her family owned the "Shadowghost Cloak" since various generations, one of the ancient relics of the early years of the Thieves Guild, a cloak that make anyone who wear it invisible. The Greywing family refused to give up the magical cloak in exchange of their daughter, replying that a child life was not worth their honor and treasure.
The Shadow Hand should have killed the child but decided instead to raise her with Aaron, who was just few years older than her, in the only way the guilds know.
As one of the most feared thieves in the guild in her adulthood, she decided to take revenge on her family by stealing the Shadow Cloak, just to discover that the it was not magical at all but simply an ornamental object.
Today, Wendy wears the cloak as a trophy as she robs her favorite victims from the nobles of the kingdom of New Torm.
Shadowclaws The Raven Demon
Captured as a demonic offspring by the Requiem Brotherhood, Shadowclaw was held in chain in the Requiem underground Catacombs waiting to be "judged", until Aaron and his thieves anesthetized the beast with soporific darts and bring it out of the dungeons with an intricate and perfect plan, without killing any Requiem in the process.
It took years for Aaron to bond with the beast: Shadowclaws tried to kill his savior every time he tried to approach to tame him in the beginning, even losing an eye in the process.
Adriana – Thieves Pinup
In the Thieves Guild each adept has a very specific role, especially based on the most developed talents. Adriana, often acting as a courtesan or dancer for the high nobility, is specialized in locating treasures or relics hidden in the mansion of the and powerful nobles of New Torm. Once her “costumers” are poisoned or anesthetized, there is no lock, door, cell or chest that she cannot open.
Have a great weekend guys!
We are super tired, it was a truly hard release as we had no rest between one set and another during the last 3 months due to some personal problems. But this weekend will help to regain some strenght and be back stronger than ever, some new concepts will be made for the next release and shown during the beginning of the next month, so you already will be able to see what's coming in the next season, including the next Epic Boss.
Cheers!

Do you happen to have pictures of the steeds? I think you accidentally posted the adepts again instead
Jason Davenport
1st... I LOVE your work... by far my favorite sub.. Im fairly new (since April 2021) and can't wait for you to dive back into the other races... plz... go dark!!! Personally I love the evil stuff! Dragons, skeletons, anything evil!! BTW half of my knights army are from you, so I'm grateful for your work. TY TY!!
Jeff Huerta
You should hire an assistant. You are growing too big for you to handle everything.
GH
while this is not explicitly related to this thread i will continue to be thankful that artisan guild is in the 21st century and does not exclusively use sync for downloading of files..........because Sync is garbage
Patrick Cunningham
cannot wait!!!
David Hefner
This is perfect because several of my friends play as rogues. Thank you!!!
Artisan Guild
Have you tried Tinto from our bonus set? https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-beetroot-gnomes-shortsword-tales-157665
Artisan Guild
yes of course :) they are separated and compatible with all older mounts/riders
Es demasiado único
daylan gray
Could the mount be separated to be a single model as well?
WarjackedsWorkshop
By chance you don't have the one thief's bird separate from it's arm as well to use like a familiar model?
elliot halsall
https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-heresylab-ax021-martha-the-halfling-141975, Best one i know of
SirPiken
I did that. It's kinda ok but the proportions are off. I need to stop being lazy and actually learn to use Blender's sculpting and move around the meshes to make more halfling proportions.
B. Griffith
Tits are my favorite bird, too! This Pateon is more focused on humanoid fantasy characters, though, not wildlife. If you find a good Pateon that specializes in sculpting our feathered friends, let me know, brother birdlover! >_>
Wilks Gw
Just print at 80% size ;).
SirPiken
Damn, I was hoping for a female halfling rogue, I cant find one a really like anywhere.
Ottó Farkas
No tits I am sad :( even though, they are pretty cool!
Luis
Dude! These look amazing! And they're PERFECT for an upcoming project I'm working on with my DM (that project is gonna be filled with Artisan Guild minis!)
Salim Bali
Imagine a set of 3 Ravens It should be Epic. Please can we have them in the future ?
Jeff Swain
Is it just me, or would the main hero with the crossbow look better if the crossbow and sword were reversed? Might try that on mine.
Jambon Atwood
Maybe it in case someone tries to pop the hinges?
Hairy Painter
Thanks, I cant unsee this now :D
Lind
I'm not really satisfied about this release. All models are almost the same, low weapon customization and nothing useful for wargames, it's just a NPC thief gang for D&D. I'll support because you are one of the best artist and I like your work and once in a while a no good release could happen, so it's not a big issue but I hope to see something like the previous release.
BigKittyPaints
it shows one in the video, at 1:17
Michael Yust
These look amazing, The silly part of my brain said they should do a Bard's college..then the rational part of my brain said that's nothing more than a collection of beefcake and pinups..
Matterbeast
Does the big bird come with a version without the saddle?
Jambon Atwood
I totally love the thieves guild set! (As expected of Artisan's Guild, of course) What am I missing though? The pinup has her back to a door, on the other side of the door is the keyhole where you would expect, but then there is a deadbolt on the hinge side of the door? What is that bolt for?
Brad Duffin
this is a sweet set, hoping you do a wizard guild set soon!
Seth Swanson
Perfect! I'm going to be able to use these in the current campaign!
Mike
Near future I hope. I would love other race guild members. Then also all the other guild themes. Each with different races as well.
Michael Bradley
Y'all pause Patreon, or work on a single hero, take a month off and rest up! Mental heath is important, especially for creatives.
Vu Le
Yes! this comes just in time for my campaign. Thanks again AG.
Philippe Thon
+1, could use the standalone as separate mini on the table !
Iron_flag
I've been looking for some minis to make a band of rogues with, this will be perfect. Keep up the good work.
Drkdesignr
Thank you for an all human set! I don’t get all the weird beast type figures that crowd the D&D spaces but that’s just me. Well done!
Daniel Williams
You guys do great work, take time and have a beer. Maybe grill out.. have a margarita.. Enjoy and thanks for your work!
Kevin Walker
Hope you get rested up. Thanks for providing such a great Patreon!
CURTIS CRADDOCK
Y'all take care of yourselves. Y'hear!
Jeffrey George
Very psyched for these! They'll make good rangers and scouts, as well as rogues. And personally, I'm glad they're all human (though the ones with hoods could just as easily be elves)--eventually, you get tired of half-tabaxi-half-aasimar wizard-paladins, and just want to get back to classic old school fantasy.
Rob Silvester
Could make for a good mini-theme or subscriber goal like Short Sword Tale: small team of a thieves (all non-humans). The story could be a heist, have them facing a couple generic city guard NPCs.
Joey D
a very nice set indeed! +1 to seeing more races added to a set like this in future (I find humans typically very boring tbh, but all the humanoid beastfolk are much more exciting) Also, sad to see the pinup not having an alternate more-scanty version :( Is still very nice though
Jon Letham
Cool but gonna pass on these. Cya in August!
Octavio Carlo
I am so happy I've never left this patreon... every month is just amazing stuff!!!
Sean McInnes
And if not, I just realised, I *could* just shrink down that spectacular epic mount… but imagine a world with an Artisans Guild stand-alone familiar…
Sean McInnes
This set is amazing and all, yes, BUT A BIRD FAMILIAR WITH THEIR WINGS OPEN!!! Imagine my excitement when I saw it having been looking for a good mid-flight familiar stl for years only to find it is anchored to her arm. I’ve been your patron since the very beginning and never done one of these selfish and pointless requests, but … any chance you could make it a standalone option too?! You don’t even have to support it or test it! I’ll do it for free!!! 🤣
Leviathan
Wonderful, thieves and bandits aren't the most the most exotic of sets, but they sure are some of the most used in actual games. Plus Wendy looks exactly like an old NPC of mine I would love to have a print of for memory lane.
Joe Watkins
I've already got one picked out for my current character in a Midgard setting, these look incredible!
demonwombatofdoom
Good to see more non bearded men. This is going to be a very useful set for PCs and NPCs. Still really looking forward to a Mages Guild :)
arlan miller
Looks like another great release from y’all! Thanks for all the hard work you put into these models.
Adam Beck
The pinup wants to be stealthy but shes too dummy thicc and the clap of her ass is alerting the guards.
Mattia
5/7, perfect score. Cannot wait for that raven demon.
Jason Davenport
I have been using your models to play Warlords of Erehwon. These will make great additions.
Piecemakers
Shouldn't it be on the same side as the hinge pins, so the lock isn't bypassed by removing the door, though?
DungeonMaster Martin
I am impressed. Granted, I can't have tabletop-based games right now, but my party just poked the bear (err...uhm dragon) and disrupted a supply line for a slavers guild in my game so these pieces will be used in reference to/for my game. So cool.
Piecemakers
Still, one of the best Patreons in the scene today, and I've gotta say: I enjoy the unintentional irony of this particular theme releasing oh-so adjacent to July 4th. ✊🏽🤣
Artisan Guild
Error spotted!
Artisan Guild
This is not bigger, but we really tried our best about quality in the short amount of time :)
Don McLaughlin
I love it. It seems like your sets just keep getting bigger all the time. Amazing sculpts as always!
Artisan Guild
We wanted to make enough humans figures. With the limited time we have we would have ended up with one guy and one lady thieves humans, perhaps 2 dwarves and so on, but we will make more in the future of course ^^
Matthew Cress
I love your all modeling capabilities and I have been a patron from the beginning but I think you need to start shifting directions a little. Though all the models looks amazing they are all one sided.. A thieves guild would be full of all races, goblins, bugbears, elves, dragonborns, etc.. Making all of them human is in my opinion kind of a cop out because you can copy and paste the bodies and just change the heads... I appreciate your efforts in giving us great modular minis but I think in this particular release should have been more diverse and maybe made more unique looking models. Just my 2 cents.
Gary
Beautiful! Also, is the deadbolt on the door diorama on the same side as the hinges? Shouldn't it be on the other side?
Bill Curran
Not normally excited about the pin up models, but I really like this months!
osvaldo bautista
This is amazing would love to see more GUILD themed sets like these
MalkavianLogic
Awesome! I have so so sooo many STLs but nothing that would go as average bandits for D&D. This is perfect!
Gerald Valentine
Please do monks/martial artists one of these days!
Diego (Tecu)
Love it. Now the only thing missing for completing my Frostgrave roster with AG’s minis are some “medium” armored characters in between these and the Fighters Guild.
Cristian Cooney
Wow! Just wow! Great idea to have hooded and unhooded versions. We’ll done.
Milo_Jones
That quality is amazing 😍😍
Matthew Harris
Well thats my next mordheim gang sorted.
Mini Manatee
Awesome :O epic set!!
Jesse White
Any chance of doing square bases? Would make cool outriders.
