Halfling Questfoots vs The Ettin - May Collection Full Reveal

Hey guys!

Thanks for being patient with us this month - now at last it's time to take a look at May's collection in full! We're proud to present Halfling Questfoots vs The Ettin, a classic conflict of little versus large!

How many halflings does it take to defeat a full-sized ettin? You'd better hope it's 20 or less, because that's the size of this particular clan of pint-sized heroes! Sure, the halflings on the ettin's base (and in his hands, and on his head) don't seem to be hav...

May Collection First Look - Halfling Questfoots vs The Ettin

Hey everyone!

You’ve probably been wondering where the teasers and reveals for May’s collection are. Normally by this point we’d have a few of those under our belts and we’d be looking at a full reveal, but the fact is between one thing and another we’ve gotten a little behind this month.

The good news is that we have a taste of May’s collection ready for you today - say hello to Halfling Questfoots vs The Ettin! This classic matchup of little versus large is something...

Bloodfeast Ogre: 3-Month Loyalty Miniature Finally Wakes Up From Food Coma

It’s finally here! Our very first loyalty miniature, the Bloodfeast Ogre, is ready to start causing a ruckus on your tabletop!

The Bloodfeast Ogre tribes of the Ironfoot Hills are widely feared by the human settlers that occupy the region’s numerous villages and hamlets. These monstrous brutes are notorious for their devastating raids and ravenous appetites, often leaving whole towns as nought but kindling and hauling off the entire population to be strung up in their cavernous lard...

April Collection: Full Reveal! Embrace Redemption Through Suffering!

March's knights will soon be retiring to the Steelwatch Bastions following a glorious month of monster-slaying and semi-competitive oath recital. They'll need to watch their backs though, as the Excruciarch Clerics have begun scrabbling from the Ebonwrack Pit, crossing Kaerannion's borders to spread misery and suffering among its already pretty downtrodden peasants. Let's take a look at April's complete collection in all its miserable horror!

Leading the assault on the hearts and minds ...

April Collection First Look: Excruciarch Clerics of the Ebonwrack Pit

Submit to the agonising beneficence of She Who Sleeps In Shadow, craven serfs, and bow before the heralds of her wondrous despair!

Too much? Okay, we’ll dial the fire and brimstone back a bit. We’re just getting in the mood for April’s disturbing collection of pre-supported miniatures – Excruciarch Clerics of the Ebonwrack Pit!

The deluded adherents of this rag-tag sect have each walked very different paths in their miserable lives, but for all the ultimate destination is ...

See the Steelwatch in 360-Degrees!

Pictures are great, but they do have one drawback - you only get to see things from the one angle. Unless you take lots of pictures from different angles, but who's got time for that? Wouldn't it be great if you could capture lots of pictures of an object from slightly different angles and string them all together really quickly so that it looks like the object is moving? A "moving picture", if you can imagine such a thing.

Well, there's no need to imagine, because the seemingly impossi...

MyMiniFactory Integration Is Here!

We've been getting a lot of requests to set up integration with MyMiniFactory so that you can access your Patreon miniatures collection in your MMF library, rather than having to find space for it on your hard drive for all eternity. Well, at last we worked out how to do it!

Those who are eligible should already have received notification emails to redeem the welcome pack, pirates and/or knights, and if you stay subscribed you'll get a similar email on the 2nd of each month from now on....

April Collection: Sneak Peek

Hey patrons!

March’s Steelwatch Knights have only just sallied forth, but in time even the light of chivalry must fade, to be replaced with... what exactly? Shadow and darkness, presumably. Perhaps a sneak peek can offer you some hints of what’s coming in April.

Hideous jaws, mysterious runes, a wailing mask – it’s all so unsettling. What do you think it means? We bet you can’t guess! Let us know in the comments if you think you’ve got it, and we’ll see you back here...

The hero leading this particular order of the Steelwatch is Commander Leoneidor Fabios, an absolute hunk of a man who's never too battle-weary to make sure his hair looks fantastic. Last week we sh...

Von Keelhaul's Dragon: Now Sliced & Hollowed

You asked and we listened!

The moment it was brought to our attention that some of our patrons may not be able to print Von Keelhaul's dragon because of its size, we got to work on a solution. Now we're pleased to report that this model has been sliced and hollowed, so not only will you be able to print its components on a much smaller print bed, you'll also use less resin doing it.

We'll make sure to do this with all large models in our monthly collections from now on. Thanks for...

We hope you’ve been enjoying February’s Drakenreef Pirates, but we also know you must be eager to see what comes next, so steel yourselves for a sneak peek!

The wait is over! Von Keelhaul's Drakenreef Pirates are here for you to download and print!

The pirates of the Drakenreef archipelago are a motley mixture of rogues, adventurers and reprobates. United by an obsession with gold, and occasionally under the flag of a powerful pirate king, these buccaneers are especially superstitious about the treasure-hoarding dragons that call the Drakenreef home.

Sell Dragon’s Forge Prints With The Merchant Tier

So here’s the thing; a few weeks back we were asked whether we’d be creating a merchant tier, and we said ‘no’. Well, we changed our minds! We want to get our miniatures into the hands of as many fellow-geeks, tabletop gamers and hobbyists as possible, so it just doesn’t make sense not to have a merchant tier.
