Frostmetal January Trailer! And the next Goal reveal!
🕑 Added 2020-12-19 12:13:13 +0000 UTCHey guys!
It has been a tough month with so many great characters, beasties and minions, and we finally managed to do that.
We invite you to turn on the audio and click Play on the trailer above.
All zbrush sculpts for the Frostmetal Clan, coming day 3 January 2021, are now finished and exported.
The testprinting team are doing their best to make sure everything is ready for the next year, printing multiple version of each character in different machines.
Frostmetal Clan Lore
As always as we develop concepts and early sculpts, we try to find bonds and stories for our characters. Here some of the ideas we come up for the next month release (sorry for the basic English):
Frostmetal Orcs and Ogres
Following an ancient pact with Duum, the God of Ferocity and War, this powerful Orc clan became immortal.
At the price of protecting the temple of Ferocity amid the frozen peaks of Skutagaard, the damned Orcs and Ogres of the Frostmetal clan have gained exceptional control of the Necromantic Arts, making them among the most dangerous warriors in the Frozen Lands.
The Orcs and Ogres of the Frostmetal Clan boast excellent black metal armor with reinforced bones; their Frostbite weapons are instruments of death made of eternal ice and pure ferocity.
The oldest Frostmetals fight relentlessly seeking heroic death in battle.
Kentargh Grotar
He himself made a pact with the God of War, ambitious to gain immortality and increase his power. He was given Helsword, an insatiable cursed blade capable of controlling the armies of the dead.
Gothrak Doomfist
Last Warlord of Frostmetal, Gothrak protects Skutagaard's peaks from any invaders, charging head-on with his mighty ice hammer. He and his ogres are the most brutal and powerful members of the clan.
Logranna Helforge
A tenacious blacksmith and warrior, Logranna grew up with a forge and a runic hammer that once belonged to a Dwarven Artisan lord. Pouring all his ferocity into each of his creations, Logranna crafted each of the enchanted Frostbite Blades and Axes employed by the clan.
Frosthorn
The mighty Frosthorn is Skutagaard's most dangerous mammal, a towering mass of muscle and fur capable of breaking through the walls of a fortress.
Worg Riders
Frostmetal Worgs are ferocious strong and fast. In order to form an otherwise impossible bond, Orcs receive a Worg Cub at an early age and train him hard for years.
What's in the (digital) Box?
Our 3d printable figures come with ball-jointed wrists and various weapon options for infinite customization:
- 8 Modular Frostmetal Orcs & Ogres
- 3 Worg Riders (riders and mounts are separated)
- Kentargh Grotar (Orc Necromancer Hero)
- Kentargh's summoned Orc-Skeletons
- Gothrak Doomfist (Ogre Warlord Hero)
- Armored Frosthorn (Epic Beast, also used as Ogre Mount)
- Logranna Helforge (Fantasy Pinup, Smith Heroine)
- Doomfrost Shrine (Terrain)
GUILDS GAME (Open Alpha)
Perhaps you already know that the game we are developing since years before our Patreon even started is out as Open Alpha (if you are a Patron, click here).
It's a fast peaced easy quick game, and if you are confident with the Rules, don't exitate to share with us suggestions on how the new factions and models could be implemented.
We make so many sculpts each month that it's hard to implement all of them in the game, but we will try our best :)
7600 Patrons Goal: Shortsword Tale part II
After the unlocking of the Greatgoblins (available this month), the next part of the Shortsword Tale are 3 Shortfolk Heroes. the first one is Tinto Beetroot... our 5years old child said he'd like to call him Tinto, and we really thing this name fits the character really well :-)
He's modular as for the rest, so apart from hitting greatgobbos with his lute and shooting with a hand crosboow he will have options for shortsword too (or anything you want to use for him). We really hope you love Tinto as much as we do ^^
Pre-Christmas Sale Reminder
We want to remind you that our Pre-Christmas Discount Code is still active till day 24th December in our Store at MyMiniFactory every model we did so far is at 50%!
In order to apply the Discount, use the code AGXMAS50
We really hope you enjoyed the trailer. It's not really our top expertise to make videos, but still it's pretty satisfying after sculpting all those characters to finally being able to sit back and see all of them in sequence. Frostmetal Clan is one of our favourite set till now, and we really hope it serves you well on the table (or in the display!).
Have a great weekend, and thank you so much for the support!
Sincerely,
Andrea & Francesca

i still dont get it, if we bought Baalzrodan The Demon king on amazons! campaign we wont get it on mmf? (sorry im a little confused about this updates on files)
Artisan Guild
In a future yes, at the moment we are in Alpha, and having new models coming in the rules each month will surely not help the process of polishing the main rules :) But once we exit the beta we will update as soon as the models are out the rules if we have the time to do so :)
Rob_3Dprint_Lobster
The truth is no matter what they release, they rock it. Bugbears and Great Goblins have been passed over too and look how tight the shortsword tales GG look!! IMO The polls should only reflect what the majority wants NOW! They should be a 4 month road map with the results reflecting which concept comes first and so on - this way they can plan ahead and work on stuff at a more leisurely rate and not have to race to the dead line. Put up 4 concepts that they want to visit each quarter and let us vote for the order they are released - this way nothing is left on the board for 9 months and we can all feel like our voices are heard and in the long run we get more concepts for release/
Nathan Jensen
My room mate says every six months release the faction codex of the last six months releases. He is a big wargamer.
Nathan Jensen
A monthly Battlesheet, and a living rulebook (a book that can update over time). These would help the release. Also only add the month before not current month. Also Titan-Forge has a Bloodfields website that handles new faction rules via card displays and brief updates. That might work here also.
Dre Kol
Okay this set is going to be AMAZING!!!!
Don McLaughlin
OMG January is going to be huge! I can't wait.
Freddy
Ever thought about an undead set? Skeletons Zombies Lich. I know there are a lot of them available but i would like to see them in your style. :-)
Terry McNemar
Any chances we might eventually get some 5E stat blocks for each mini in the future?
Andy Farrell
Very, very cool set this month. So far, you guys are the best artists ive found on patreon. Thank you for your work and dedication to our hobby!
Florian Hoppe
Yeah and I´m overly happy with that. Okay, let me try to give you some ideas. Not to push you but maybe to reignite the spark. Dwarfs with tesla coils on their backs to power lightning gloves, shortfolk riding on mechanical doggos, and a big invention that got a malfunction and now tunes against its inventors, wrenches, monocles, faradayian armor. ;-)
Sharocka Jack
You guys should do Tieflings, Genasi, and/or Gith. I can't find very many good prints of any of those, and I see you guy often stick to one race a month
Artisan Guild
it was in the plan in the beginning, but at the moment (at least as next release) we are not really inspired to do that. We are trying three heroes to see if this spark our interest to do more :)
Florian Hoppe
These are awesome! I love the Geatgoblins and I´m really excited about the Shortfolk minis. Have you thought about a Shortfolk monthly release? "Dwarven and Shortfolk inventor guild" or something like this would be massively epic!
Patrick Cunningham
AWESOME!
Kevin Sullivan
These look amazing and easily in my top three releases.
Marko
They look awesome. But it looks like the heroic mount has only armored version. There is no version of it without armor? Like a monster creature? The way we had with previous releases?
Mikey H
Wishing there were more Ogres and female models in the set, but loving it in every other aspect!
Paul Goodwin
^^^ the pinup is so badass
Rob Leonard
Ahh...yes, good spot! Thanks :)
Artisan Guild
Great Goblins are available now in the monthly release post :)
Maddie
For what it's worth: I LOVE that the pinup for this is both sexy AND has a lot of character as a blacksmith. I'd definitely want to see more pinups in the same vein as her!
Shawn Polka
Looks great! I hope to see more Ogres down the line, because Gothrak is amazing.
Stephen Brewer
It took a moment to get the freeze frame correctly (around 1:08), but if you pause it just right you can see one side as the AG logo, the other side has runes.
Stephen Brewer
They have begun the process. I just got access to the September 2019 Vampires on MyMiniFactory, as they're slowly rolling it out. It's a MyMiniFactory issue, as far as I know. So, in short, be patient. It's happening. =)
Beren Gl
Crazy incredible!
Rob Leonard
As most have said, this entire set is awesome and I'm glad you decided to move forward with it. The pinup is possibly the most useable pinup you've done so far (the others are nice, but most wouldn't see much/any gameplay for me). That wooly rhino is super perfect. I love all the facial expressions, poses, weapons & armor, and all the extra details on each sculpt...just a fantastic job AG! It is nice to see where you guys would take a set a skeletons and I think they're better than most...especially with posing (most sculptors leave them just standing there with no implied movement...boring). As far as your comments about the videos you guys produce...no you're not going to win any awards for the videos, but they're still quite good, and perfect for a release video (stills of individuals and groups, along with the turntable). And honestly I'd prefer you spend most of your time on the sculpts. ;) One question...I see in one of the video frames the anvil has the AG logo...which I think is cool. Is that on the flip side of the anvil showing the other runes, or is that an alternate anvil?
SteveWasEre
Very nice. It feels a little light on female characters, which is a bit of a shame.
GH
looks nice, question time. you ever going to integrate with mymini so people who have been longtime supporters can maintain access to what they have paid for?
Easy
Wow!
Aaron B
When you say this month for the Great Golbins, do you mean December or January?
Elias Dummer
These look amazing!
Brent Watts
I totally agree... this set looks awesome! And its stuff like this that inspires you as a DM to create adventures around these... I'm already thinking of these guys as being a big part of my game! My only request would be that the worgs come with no saddle versions. :)
Don McLaughlin
I am so stoked for this set. COME ON JANUARY!
Rachel V Rose-Murphy
LOVE the blacksmith. Super badass
Branden Doty
I am beyond excited to paint these guys! Can't wait till next month.
Matthias Schobloch
You've done a fantastic job with this set. I love every single miniature.
Benjamin
Honestly the polling is nice, but this shows that the mob doesn’t know what it wants! These got passed over for months and now look at how amazing they are. These might be one of my favorite releases! These ice orcs are 🔥🔥🔥
Caleb Goodson
Ha! I love the presentation. It's so metal.
Tucker Loper
So excited for the summoner! Although, now I'm thinking about painting a set where the ice is like gemstones and make them deep ogres/orcs!
Jay, Dr Fugue
It’s been a while since I was so inspired by ruthless orcs! these are awesome
Christopher Barnes
THIS... IS AWESOME!!!! I love the whole set! Incredible! I’m loving the terrain!!!!
Denis Proulx
Those skeletons have me pretty excited for a possible undead set in the future!
Artisan Guild
Several patrons told us so, but we really didnt ever watched Mandalorian, it has been a coincidence in this case :) It's based on a rhino ancestors, many patrons requested that months ago when we announced ironskin ogre :)
Bernat Rovira Lastra
Amazing!!! For me the best month by far!! And the best part we have begun with the skeletons... Congrats!!!!
Miles Lewis
This is the source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xdgooP3fBc Miniac uses it as his outro music as well.
Miles Lewis
Turn the playback speed down on youtube
CharlesDennis
How is it that I didn't know i needed this so bad?! Also you keep nailing aesthetics for factions in my homebrew world that honestly is frighteningly similar. If you do a release of Frost Elf Barbarians I'm calling witch craft!...Then immediately downloading it with up most glee LOL
Houston Taylor Bush
Is this an Yngwie Malmsteem track?
Brad Hopwood
Yes!!!!! Finally, and you guys knocked it out of the park again!
Lester Rea
I'm so happy to finally have these, I voted for them in every poll they appeared in.
BoldNotBald
For some reason that Frosthorn speaks more mud to me. I think I know what you watched this weekend. 😏😉😉 I couldn’t be more impressed with this release. Thank you!
Artisan Guild
Hollow, split in 2 parts 😁
Jake Coulson
Looks wicked and these guys have been on my list a while during the votes. Would really like it if the rotating shots of the group models were slowed down though, hard to pick out the details when it’s spinning like a tornado haha the still frames look great though
Billy Capgun
I'm EXTREMELY excited for this release! Can't wait to print all of these guys!
Artisan Guild
Muchas gracias :)
Marc Thür
🤩 thats really an amazing piece of art. These guys are a worthy enemy for my dwarfen cleric and his battlehammer. The rhino is hollow or?
Giovanni Alberto Brugnara Rodriguez
Tenía miedo de cómo saldría porque nunca voté por esta temática pero joder que pasada que mes os lo currais más habéis pasado de hacer 1 sola montura a hacer un grupo de 3 monturas y luego una más grande, es maravilloso lo de este mes
Glen Morin
Whooaww now I HAVE TO launch a new D&D campaign. These guys will do excellent opponents, coming to raid some farmstead and maybe the rest of the kingdom. Really love it !!
CG
That woolly rhino is one of the most awesome beast I have seen in a long while! I absolutely love it!!!
fershiznickle
Doomfists hammer and cloak look really cool!
Bert de Jonge
Amazing! Can't wait!
Artisan Guild
ahahahah
Roachboy
What can I say? Those are awesome. I've not been a supporter here for long, but that pinup is the best I've seen so far.
Francky Il Pazzo
Yes i like them very much!! I hope frost metal humans or frost metal (add here a fantasy race you like). Sono carico come na lupara! Ahahahahahah
Marie Rowland
The Blacksmith! Wow!!
Robert Egli
Pretty cool beasts ! I'm sure have use of them for future conversions.
Estevao Correa
What a pleasure to behold this release. I think it shows how much you enjoyed working on making these guys espetacular, and it also shows your stuff is even greater when not constrained! AMAZING!
Robson Scerri
It clearly shows! The forst metal clan have to be your best ever! Really looking forward to your plans for the Dwarfs!
Fausty Minis
These look super badass. They'd look amazing done up as a Warcraft death knight inspired group.
torvo
Fantastico!!! Azzardo la migliore mai vista!!
John Madigan
Looks great
Artisan Guild
Dwarves factions wait for us to be continued ^^ But as orcs and dwarves are our favourite, we need to keep them for later. We can't make our top pick for 4 months in a row ahah
Sarah Chew
I jumped onto YouTube so I could watch it on my TV. :D
A_G_S
Amazing work, as always!
James Kew
These look incredible!
Robson Scerri
Oh how I hate orcs so I hate to admit that this has to be your best release ever! Dwarfs FTW
