Help us bring the Magic next month!
Added 2021-07-08 16:00:09 +0000 UTCHi Patrons,
It’s brainstorming time and your invaluable input is crucial for our next month’s release: Wizard’s Guild.
The collection is almost ready and there’s only one troop left to design and there’s no better person to ask than you 🙂
What kind of Troops would you like to assist and protect your Wizards?
As the saying goes, your wish is my command 🪄
Comments
I like the idea of clockwork automata.

2021-08-01 09:31:35 +0000 UTCI wanna see Wizard bodyguards, akin to "sword mages" or like paladins, except with arcane magic instead of divine powers. I started out in LARPing, and we had so-called "Force Guardians" to protect wizards; they had a few combat spells, and any damage conferred on the wizard, they took instead. So even if you were hitting the wizard directly, you had to kill his guardian before he took any damage.
Silas Mortensen
2021-07-27 20:14:20 +0000 UTCPlease have wizards that are not grey bearded and old. For me, I use miniatures for dungeons and dragons and not once that I know of anyone wanting to play a 80 year old bearded man on their death bed with a crooked back. Also have something in the hand other than a staff.

2021-07-27 14:26:14 +0000 UTCChromancer. Time wizard. This could look awesome ! :°

2021-07-26 17:56:39 +0000 UTCLiving spells could be interesting 🤔

2021-07-24 09:20:59 +0000 UTCelementals, magical brooms like from fantasia!
David Aleshire
2021-07-22 15:08:04 +0000 UTCI might be too late but I'd also like to see a troop of apprentices!

Amber Schwede
2021-07-21 05:16:17 +0000 UTCOpción 1: Armaduras de caballeros animadas magicamente para proteger a los magos (option 1: Living Knight armors with magic to protect the wizard) Opción 2: Arboles vivientes o ents (option 2: Living trees like "ents"
Bernard Adrián Lamas Crispín
2021-07-20 03:40:37 +0000 UTCI would think golems as elite or heavy. Skeletons or various low level elementals/demons and apprentices and maybe a sword magi team with various degrees of being armored
Mike Pigoni
2021-07-19 20:17:45 +0000 UTCSteampunk Wild Wild West......
Mark McKellar
2021-07-16 03:01:43 +0000 UTCThis could be fun if they came up with some familiars that had some attitude and style.
Scott Jeffs
2021-07-16 02:19:27 +0000 UTCA undead skeleton army would be awesome, with decomposed like zombies, a few necromancers and maybe an elite guard with heavy armor and weapons. Would be also great to add corpse carts and maybe some cavalry !!!
Fabien
2021-07-15 17:51:17 +0000 UTCAzorius guild like soldiers from magic the gathering, plane of ravnica
Jeffrey St-Louis
2021-07-14 23:26:31 +0000 UTCI'd like to see skeletons also, but with broken weapon and armor, the kind where you can see the bones underneath. When you print with green transparent resin, you paint the weapons and armor normally leaving the green to glow. Looks really cool. also wouldn't mind see cool looking wizards, you see a pose or two from different starters but a set like a coven or summoning circle.
Ron Goodwin
2021-07-14 19:55:37 +0000 UTCLet's hope! I am afraid if they already Finished the roster there is nothing left but hope. But I absolutely believe they are capable of doing something like this. Morpheus, Hades, and the God of wine and whatever his name is spelled looked STUNNING. Still bulky but at least with some desirable faces 😏 would love to have some (long haired) spindly but oh so powerful young looking mage boy. Magic users need to be fancy and interesting I don't want another Dumbledore, Gandalf at least not only things like them. I feel girls have more variety but often fall back to the sexy seductive sorceress. Which is fine but it's getting boring 🙃
Yvonne Murta do Serro Milharo
2021-07-14 16:15:21 +0000 UTCWizards... Well, I wouldn't mind seeing something akin to Bladesingers/Bladesinging, though, there's also the thrall approach and Familiar approach that could be done. Or, a construct approach. But, as a troop choice, I do see the Bladesingers fitting it the best.
ValkChronicle
2021-07-14 15:08:06 +0000 UTCOh my goodness yes! Finding a model for my d&d mini of a rather skinny bookish young man has been impossible. Male wizards... Robes. Beards. Almost every time. Dozens of them. Females, more interesting poses occasionally and more diverse but too often just 'sexy women'. Variety is the spice of life.
Narrator Dave
2021-07-14 14:51:09 +0000 UTCI really hope its not all ugly old men with long beards and sexy women, because I am sick an tired of this stereo types. Give me sexy young wizards PLEASE.

2021-07-13 22:31:01 +0000 UTCNo matter the release, I want a smaller release so that you can focus on cloud storage system. I have been waiting for a few months now to update all my files
Blake Moody
2021-07-13 17:41:31 +0000 UTCElementals, spell effects, familiars that are not just a cat or a owl
Robert Boggs
2021-07-13 14:33:20 +0000 UTCDid you see their witches from last years Halloween Set? Now on MMF!
Glitterwolf
2021-07-13 09:11:14 +0000 UTCwhat about skeletons? like... army of the dead style - where they're very agile and fast. not sure how you could represent that - maybe dynamic poses, a few of them together leaping over something or climbing up a wall?
Dwayne Hinton
2021-07-13 04:47:33 +0000 UTCHear me out on this it's a big wishlist. I always love when Witches get the "big hat and a broomstick" thing re-imagined. It would be a dream come true to have witches with 'brooms' that are equal parts flying vehicle, and heavy rifle-like weapon. Major bonus points for having the black robe and hat be somewhat more like aviator fatigues and helmet. I know we're on the verge of steampunk by that point, but if nothing else give me a selection of very big witch hats and i'll still love it!
DeusX
2021-07-13 03:31:31 +0000 UTCWizards & witches! I'd stay subscribed for a unit of good witches. I need hats. Anything with good hats!
DeusX
2021-07-13 03:26:08 +0000 UTCartificers or arcane constructs would be cool
Jeremy Kramer
2021-07-13 01:30:59 +0000 UTCMaybe skeletons, have them in roman legion or amazonian type military adornments (a raised army unit basically).
Scott Jeffs
2021-07-12 17:32:27 +0000 UTCMagical construct troops: like flesh-golems and the like
CURTIS CRADDOCK
2021-07-12 17:10:44 +0000 UTCanimals would be so cool
Dastin Hoffmann

Majah Brooks
2021-07-12 13:02:25 +0000 UTChow about spell effects? flame wall, vines, fireball etc?
Jens Blumenberg
2021-07-11 20:07:21 +0000 UTCCould have, elementals / sprites, constructs and / or familiars as bodyguard
Paintbrushturkey
2021-07-11 12:13:52 +0000 UTCI know you said there was only one troop left to design, but maybe younglings and their familiars? A little wizard kid and his tiny owl or dragon would be great for my game! If it's more of a combat-oriented troop, maybe an Amalgam (a person who has had every possible offensive spell cast on them) or an artificer with a ton of magic items. Letting your community help out with the design for the next release is fantastic. Thank you.
Jason Gillo
2021-07-11 07:43:05 +0000 UTCit has to be Golems they would work so well otherwise something a wizard could summon
FineToast
2021-07-11 02:43:22 +0000 UTCMercenaries who aren't smart enough to be afraid of their employers, or summoned creatures/elementals/golems.
Hungry Drop Bear
2021-07-11 02:21:57 +0000 UTCDepending on the type of wizard they protect.. necromancer should have undead protectors, Conjurers I could see with anything, abjuration: more like energy circles and runes, alteration: half beasts/protectors, divination and enchantment: people/assistants/students , illusion and evocation could have energy critters (fire based electrical based or misty), or Mimics
Psycha
2021-07-11 00:12:00 +0000 UTCHelpers. Who act in the background. Tow equipment. Test objects for magical experiments. The little helpers could also easily be magically gifted. To present them in case of failed attempts would also be quite funny.
Andreas Kahn
2021-07-10 14:46:34 +0000 UTCA mimic treasure chest to protect his experiments.
John Jansen
2021-07-10 13:53:37 +0000 UTCOr generic cloaked unidentifiable cultists to help out with summoning the elder gods (I admit; just for utility reasons as a gamesmaster)

Diana Glewwe
2021-07-09 22:47:49 +0000 UTCI think most people are taking it to mean Magic Users in general. We don't know what they've done so far, so we can't tell if we're on theme. Plus it's fun to suggest wacky stuff and see what sticks. We got Meuooo the Mythical Shark Cow, after all.
eyflfla
2021-07-09 21:56:35 +0000 UTCShape-shifters, and spellbaldes (people who use magic to fight up close). I would live to see living spells and other experimental magical things. Diffent magical schools try to recreate other spell types (druids trying to cast raise dead, what would that look like)
Zack Patty
2021-07-09 20:07:46 +0000 UTCDefinitely would love to see a take on a mimic! Tho that's more a pet vs. troops. As others mentioned elementals would be pretty cool
Funkey Monkey
2021-07-09 19:12:44 +0000 UTCFamiliars or Golems of some sort are the most obvious picks but golems made of crystals, books, scrolls, weird magical orreries etc or familiars in exotic or clearly magical shapes like a little imp with a book for a head or a bird with scrolls as wings could make for a fun twist.
Urazel
2021-07-09 18:58:01 +0000 UTCAdventurers and mercenaries.
Thannak
2021-07-09 18:53:45 +0000 UTCDifferent flavours of golem I think would make the most sense.

Chris S
2021-07-09 17:48:35 +0000 UTCIt could be cool if we had troops that looked a little like flying monkeys from OZ
Joel
2021-07-09 17:40:29 +0000 UTCAnimated Objects, Crystal Golems, Enhanced or armored Dragonkin, amalgamations ( like simic hybrids or mewtwo) living lighting,
Nicholas Vidmar
2021-07-09 17:32:47 +0000 UTCHow about some elementals?
Vengso
2021-07-09 16:04:44 +0000 UTCIf your wanting to do more sci-fi as the last post suggested you could always add a geomancer (subtle tecnomancer) troop maybe something like a gem/crystal feuled battle-mage unit.

Jeff Tetlow
2021-07-09 06:21:26 +0000 UTCElementals, golems or beastmen. Elementals and golems/constructs are the classic wizard companions. Beastmen - human/beast hybrids are experiments created in wizards lab to protect them.
Marko
2021-07-09 06:13:53 +0000 UTCSpectral weapons, summoned armor... It's not really troops but various automations always feel like the general standard for antisocial wizards

2021-07-09 03:14:24 +0000 UTCGolems! Natural (Wood, bone, clay, stone) and metal (iron, brass, gold), and every other imaginable material. :)
John Wainscott
2021-07-09 02:45:44 +0000 UTCWow people have some interesting ideas about what Wizards do. For me id say animated suits of armour, golems/statues, or some sort of mystical summon, but not demons since thats more occult and not undead since thats necromancy, and elementals seems more druidic.
Daniel Henry
2021-07-09 00:39:27 +0000 UTCTroops I guess that means 3-4 figures. You need great senses so an animal with darkvision, good smell would be good. I think big tiger lizards. A hybrid of tiger and lizard. Thick skin, great stealth, good senses, looks scary.
Lars Sundstrom
2021-07-09 00:33:05 +0000 UTCConstructs. Big. Badass

Rob Henderson
2021-07-09 00:13:43 +0000 UTCWhen it comes to magical wizard guilds I like to imagine all forms of elemental types and creations. Elemental servants like lightning, wind, Earth, ext. In addition to the animated sorts, or even some summons that have been bound to service. A wizard may be squishy, but that doesn't mean they need regular guards to patrol the halls of the guild. How about a bound Balrog in-front of the Guild masters chambers. What better way to show your status and power as a wizard than through your magical prowess.
Doom Sauce
2021-07-08 22:40:31 +0000 UTCHaemonculi and animated armors spring, I'm into that too. If something really unique would come of it then some animated dead. Just anything that would be really wizardy and you couldn't just pick from any other fantasy bundle.
MalkavianLogic
2021-07-08 22:38:59 +0000 UTCWATER WIZARD. Or I guess hydromancer if you wanna be technical...
Neight
2021-07-08 22:32:14 +0000 UTCEvil Children. Something along the lines of Children of the corn. We've seen the Lulus and we know you can do it. Just not so cute and a bit otherworldly.
John Wolf
2021-07-08 22:27:41 +0000 UTCOh cool! But It kind of depends on what you already have planned, doesn't it? Do like a dozen small familiars, Cats, Owls, Bats, Spiders, Imps, and an animated broom stick! Elementals seem obvious, although doing the classic 4 seems like a bit too much variance for your troop slot. Golems or animated armor, or Homonculus would be alright Or just some low level magic initiates with a combination of wands, spell books and pointed hats. Ooh! Give them [not] Death Eater Tattoos! Dark Cowls and curved daggers and pentagram bases. mwahaha!
eyflfla
2021-07-08 22:17:44 +0000 UTCPerhaps gargoyles
David Acuna
2021-07-08 22:05:59 +0000 UTCAnimated Suits of Armor or Swarms of Homunculi would be ripper.

Richard Smeeton
2021-07-08 21:36:55 +0000 UTCAnimated Armor/Constructs are good. Dragon-like creatures.
Michael O'Connor
2021-07-08 21:26:38 +0000 UTCexotic familiars, golems of different types. magical creatures
brian belmonte
2021-07-08 21:24:25 +0000 UTCtoo lazy to type in my own words, point is, we want the same thing, hope you dont mind ;)
Andrej Thurzo
2021-07-08 21:03:21 +0000 UTCWell if it is Wizards, then Golems of course. But animated armor is good too. A friendly Drake or Dragon perhaps. And of course, Heroes. Just plain old run of them mill guards to roam the keep and protect the guy. JMHO.
Thomas Sholar
2021-07-08 20:52:01 +0000 UTCAnimated "armor", but more construct than simply armor. More grimdark: thralls, magically enslaved humans, probably blind, deaf, and/or mute. Lots of runes on their skin. Not really "troops", but familiar would be cool. However, not just owl, rat, imp, or raven, but more exotic stuff like Wolpertinger. Non humanoid mages, like Lamias, Sphinxes, or undead scarab folks like the Nerubians from world of warcraft
ammut
2021-07-08 20:39:10 +0000 UTCAnimated armor WOULD be cool… I'm so new to 3D printing, I'm not sure how hard it would be to print visibly empty armor that's of the usual mini size… I'd like levitating marionettes, the spookier the better, and/or some creepy Lovecraftian summons crawling out of portals or something.
Alayna
2021-07-08 20:26:34 +0000 UTCConstructs are always good.
Ron Purvis
2021-07-08 20:13:57 +0000 UTCBig Ol' animated suits of armour would be cool
Gallo27
2021-07-08 20:13:24 +0000 UTCSpells/effects, animated armor, golems, beasts, or students. Any of these would be an acceptable answer I think.
NordicWolf
2021-07-08 20:03:18 +0000 UTCgolems!
Fabio REMOALDO
2021-07-08 19:50:02 +0000 UTCSpell Effects/Wizard Spells. Maybe something that can shroud a 28/32mm mini to show an effect.
Matt
2021-07-08 19:36:26 +0000 UTCAnimated armor would be cool, or maybe some fancy golems
Nick Schlekewey
2021-07-08 19:32:17 +0000 UTCAnimated suits of armor and weapons would be cool
Scott wilson
2021-07-08 19:28:31 +0000 UTCAnimated armour would be great
Dick Nagle
2021-07-08 19:26:22 +0000 UTCDepends on the nature of the wizards I guess. Is this good or evil? Good, I'd stick with elemental spirits, golem, etc. If evil then imps/demons, undead, etc. Another neat option could be people that have spell effects on them. Either auras or something obvious, like arms swollen to large size, odd/inconsistent animal morphs, fused weapons or the like.
John Lacy
2021-07-08 19:14:35 +0000 UTC- (fantastical) animals: owls, ravens, eagles, squirrels (why not?), mice, cats, unicorns - shapeshifting animals from the list above - half animal (from above) half man/ other animal - dragons / draconians - half tree half man - elves, humans, minotaurs - gargoyles - elementals - a ring of fire, water, whirlwind leaves with a human touch/parts

Angel M
2021-07-08 18:59:15 +0000 UTCI would love to see some kind of summoned swarms, empowered protectors in the form of animated armor, golem or elemental. Perhaps magically mutated beasts or gifted men. Really I think something that specifically shows a relationship between the trooper and the mage enhancing its ability to protect said mage.
James Bixler
2021-07-08 18:50:29 +0000 UTCYeah, either a pseudo dragon or a faerie dragon would work too. https://images.app.goo.gl/czsrFK2XG7NbZsw56 https://images.app.goo.gl/Gi32Mabgdeqs4L7c9 https://images.app.goo.gl/DKvozfoVUhD3A2137
Rob Leonard
2021-07-08 18:49:54 +0000 UTCMy first thought was a class of non-magical servants/assistants as a "screen of normality" to handle mundane physical matters. Thralls of some sort; warriors, bodyguards, spies, informants, slaves, etc. As a troop choice, I'd say 'Thrall Warriors'.
Korey Powell
2021-07-08 18:46:45 +0000 UTCIdk if this suits troops as well is it would characters, but I'd love to see a book drake/candle drake, a la the Midgard Book of Drakes.

2021-07-08 18:44:18 +0000 UTCWild pets or Were creatures to protect the shaman/druid wizards(s) that I hope will be in the pack
Anthony Donovan
2021-07-08 18:29:49 +0000 UTCCreatures that only mages and wizards would have dealings with (successfully at least)! So golems an haemonculi are great, extra dimensional beings (I like the summoning portals idea), and other strange beings

John Weyen
2021-07-08 18:18:48 +0000 UTCWe don’t know the other troops, so you can get lots of answers with units already done ^^’. By the way: Arcane Knight: Knight capable of using arcane magic (based on school they can have different appereance. Bone armors for necromancy, elemental or wood armor, metal armor, demonic armor for summoners). Animal Familiars / homunculus. Arcane Rangers. (with effects on their arrows like fire, wind, stone, energy) Alchemists: Like Full Metal Alchemist. Swordsingers: Elven swordmen - mages with light armors on them. Musicians: Mages that uses musical magic. Oracles: Mages that can see the future with divination Magicbreakers: Mages that can destroy magic near them (so effects like spells that are vanishing near them) Shadowporters: Mage assassins that uses shadows to fight. Dragon Knight: An order of mages with dragonscale armors that can use magic due to a pact with Dragons. Warlock: Mages that can use magic due to a pact with demons/aliens/old spirits/etc

Constructs/Golems would be an obvious go-to - it would be great if they were also wielding magic-style armaments and not limited to normal weapons. Elementals, Infernal servants, and of course - undead for the Necromancers ;)

2021-07-08 17:56:32 +0000 UTCFor terrain it wpuld be great to see your taje on the mage tower idea. Every magic user needs a magic tower to use.

2021-07-08 17:39:24 +0000 UTCI'm really mad that I never thought about book golem before, but whoever suggested it is a genius, so I’ll second that suggestion.

Alice
2021-07-08 17:26:11 +0000 UTCI like the idea of magic swordmasters/spellswords, gus with swords im one hand and a wizards grimoire in the other as well as arcane archers etc and of course just plain warlock magician units, maybe wizards on owlsfor cavalry?

2021-07-08 17:17:52 +0000 UTCCat familiars who have taken up arms to defend their masters! They aren't tabaxi, they are just actual cats with daggers in their mouths, and adorable little helmets. Or on a less silly note, summons like djin or lesser demons would make good wizard troops
Alice
2021-07-08 17:17:17 +0000 UTCThe question is kind of hard to answer without having an idea of what troops and heroes are already included in the set. Do the heroes all look like practitioners of different forms of magic? If so are their troops also spell casters or are they more akin to magical servants/constructs/effects? Do the heroes all look more like they’d be instructors/officers of the guild practicing similar magic styles? If so do the troops look like they would be students/new members or more experienced specialists in a particular form of magical warfare? A guild which values magic of any/most forms with diverse spellcasters as leading figures would have the troops slots look vastly different from one which focuses on elemental, necromantic, or any other esoteric form of sorcery.
Richard Collier
2021-07-08 17:13:21 +0000 UTCAnimated objects would be neat

Christian
2021-07-08 17:01:03 +0000 UTCMy first thought was "chest-mimics", both because that is a classic DnD monster that I'd love to see your take on, and the question made me think of Rincewinds Luggage from the Diskworld-books. But I really don't know if its all that fun of a set if you don't get that reference :p Certainly, mimics are already plentyfull in the 3Dprinting community so maybe it would feel too much like a wasted slot for something more imaginitive.

2021-07-08 16:49:27 +0000 UTCNot really troops but...different types of familiars, different types of portable housing other than tents. My group has a war elephant with a pagoda they live in on top of it. That would be cool.

DMmeepo
2021-07-08 16:43:42 +0000 UTCHow about some spell effects reminiscent of that “Grimdark Game” that just released a 3.0 version. Maybe something that could be proxies for their “Everlasting Spells” or just cool looking spell effects to go with them…specifically something for the “Thunder Brothers” and the “Cruel Swamp Monkeys” in the new boxed set. Or hey, maybe that’s a future release? I’d love to see your proxies for some “Cruel Swamp Monkeys”!
Andrej Thurzo
2021-07-08 16:43:21 +0000 UTCElemental or creature summons for protection would be cool. Magic folk tend to be squishy. Also if it all magic units some cool spell effects to go along with the miniatures would be awesome as well.

2021-07-08 16:31:59 +0000 UTCI believe “Thunder Brothers” spell stuff would fit well with wizards “lightning, hammers like from this month’s release, clouds, etc…”. If there is a poison, death, or necromancer type wizard, then poison clouds, potion bottles, cauldrons, dripping nasty liquids would be great…
Christopher Barnes

2021-07-08 16:08:45 +0000 UTCSmaller constructs would be logical as the wizards don't have to risk themselves. Considering many wizards have decades if not centuries of experience, most wouldn't want to risk it on the battlefield.
