Hey 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

Oh how I hate orcs so I hate to admit that this has to be your best release ever! Dwarfs FTW

James Kew

These look incredible!

A_G_S

Amazing work, as always!

Anonymous

I jumped onto YouTube so I could watch it on my TV. :D

ArtisanGuild

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

Fantastico!!! Azzardo la migliore mai vista!!

These look super badass. They'd look amazing done up as a Warcraft death knight inspired group.

Anonymous

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!

Anonymous

Pretty cool beasts ! I'm sure have use of them for future conversions.

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

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.

Anonymous

Amazing! Can't wait!

fershiznickle

Doomfists hammer and cloak look really cool!

CG

That woolly rhino is one of the most awesome beast I have seen in a long while! I absolutely love it!!!

Anonymous

Whooaww now I HAVE TO launch a new D&amp;D campaign. These guys will do excellent opponents, coming to raid some farmstead and maybe the rest of the kingdom. Really love it !!

Anonymous

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

Anonymous

🤩 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?

Billy Capgun

I'm EXTREMELY excited for this release! Can't wait to print all of these guys!

Anonymous

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

Anonymous

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!

Anonymous

I'm so happy to finally have these, I voted for them in every poll they appeared in.

Anonymous

Yes!!!!! Finally, and you guys knocked it out of the park again!

Anonymous

Is this an Yngwie Malmsteem track?

Anonymous

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

Miles Lewis

This is the source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xdgooP3fBc Miniac uses it as his outro music as well.

Bernat Rovira Lastra

Amazing!!! For me the best month by far!! And the best part we have begun with the skeletons... Congrats!!!!

ArtisanGuild

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 :)

Anonymous

Those skeletons have me pretty excited for a possible undead set in the future!

Christopher Barnes

THIS... IS AWESOME!!!! I love the whole set! Incredible! I’m loving the terrain!!!!

Jay, Dr Fugue

It’s been a while since I was so inspired by ruthless orcs! these are awesome

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!

Anonymous

Ha! I love the presentation. It's so metal.

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 🔥🔥🔥

Anonymous

You've done a fantastic job with this set. I love every single miniature.

Anonymous

I am beyond excited to paint these guys! Can't wait till next month.

Anonymous

LOVE the blacksmith. Super badass

Don McLaughlin

I am so stoked for this set. COME ON JANUARY!

Anonymous

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. :)

Anonymous

These look amazing!

Anonymous

When you say this month for the Great Golbins, do you mean December or January?

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?

SteveWasEre

Very nice. It feels a little light on female characters, which is a bit of a shame.

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 &amp; 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?

Beren Gl

Crazy incredible!

Anonymous

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. =)

Anonymous

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.

Anonymous

Looks great! I hope to see more Ogres down the line, because Gothrak is amazing.

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!

Paul Goodwin

^^^ the pinup is so badass

Anonymous

Wishing there were more Ogres and female models in the set, but loving it in every other aspect!

Anonymous

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?

Anonymous

These look amazing and easily in my top three releases.

Anonymous

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!

ArtisanGuild

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 :)

Anonymous

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

Anonymous

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!

Terry McNemar

Any chances we might eventually get some 5E stat blocks for each mini in the future?

Anonymous

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. :-)

Don McLaughlin

OMG January is going to be huge! I can't wait.

Dre Kol

Okay this set is going to be AMAZING!!!!

Anonymous

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.

Anonymous

My room mate says every six months release the faction codex of the last six months releases. He is a big wargamer.

MentalShiver

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)
