We are thrilled to announce the creation of the Guildhall—the new and cozy home of Artisan Guild, ready to welcome you at www.artisanguildminiatures.com!
As platforms evolve, we’ve decided it’s time to build something of our own, a special place where you can truly feel at home, the headquarter of our prestigious Guild!
The Guildhall will become our central hub, where you’ll receive our Monthly Releases of 3D printable miniatures at the start of each month—directly through us, without the need for any third-party platforms.
But there’s more! We’re working hard to build the Guildhall Library, which will house not only your new collections, but also past sets from previous months and years, along with the Welcome Box. All of this will be available to you.
We kindly ask for a bit of patience as we perfect this complex system and upload the previous releases into the Library.
Every month, we’ll also be releasing Guildhall Exclusives, extra pieces created only for those who support us from within the Guildhall to build alternative versions of a model.
For example, next month, we’ll offer an alternate version of the Epic Boss as a special exclusive. Keep an eye out for these unique pieces, clearly marked in our trailers with a red banner that says "Guildhall Exclusive"!
This isn’t just a platform shift—we’re creating your new home, where every corner is designed to offer you the best experience possible. We’re committed to listening to your feedback and continuously improving the platform to meet your needs. The Guildhall is more than just a change; it’s a warm “Welcome Back!” to a place that’s truly yours.
Get your printing files ready and join us in the Guildhall—the future of Artisan Guild awaits you!
Important: If you are already a paying member on Patreon or Tribe and wish to join us in the Guildhall, please remember to unsubscribe from your Adventurer/Collector/Merchant Tier on your current platform before subscribing to the Guildhall in October. This will help avoid accidentally paying for two subscriptions at once.
However, we would greatly appreciate it if you could continue supporting us as a free member on Patreon. By staying subscribed, even without a paid tier, you’ll help keep Artisan Guild visible, making it easier for others to discover our work. Every bit of support counts, and this will help us continue growing our incredible community!

HOW IT WORKS
Join the Guildhall
Visit our website at www.artisanguildminiatures.com . Click on Guildhall Subscription and choose a Tier. Subscribe to receive our monthly 3D-printable Collection, as usual during the first days of the month.
Choose a Tier
Through the Guildhall you can join as Adventurer, Collector or Merchant. Scrolling below the trailer of the current month you may also join as Free Member to get access to your Library and download the Vanguard free collection, updated every month!
Access Your Collections
On the 2nd day of each month, log into your Guildhall Library and instantly access the latest themed collection in your personal library, ready to download and print.
We are working hard to add the previous collection to each member's library. Soon you'll have access from every set you subscribed for throguh your Guildhall Library!
Guildhall Shop (Under construction)
We are building a shop directly tied to your Guildhall Library, where you will be able to access past sets from previous months and years.
If you already bought some of all our past sets through MyMiniFactory or Patreon don't worry, we are going to automatically deliver them through your personal Guildhall Library. It's a complex and long process, so we kindly thank you for your patience.
Enjoy Guildhall Exclusives
Each month, we release special Guildhall Exclusive extra pieces, created just for the Guildhall members. Look for these marked with the red "Guildhall Exclusive" banner in our trailers and releases.
Feedback and Support
Have questions or ideas? We're here to help and improve the Guildhall based on your feedback. Together, we’ll continue to make this platform your true home for 3D-printable minis. The best place to provide feedbacks is our Discord.

WHY THE GUILDHALL
As some of you may know, Patreon is planning changes that will significantly impact how we deliver our monthly releases. Their upcoming 30-day subscription cycle means members could get two monthly releases by paying for just one, which disrupts the fair system we've worked hard to create. This would undermine the value of consistent support and incentivize a subscription pattern that hurts the community as a whol; being also totally unfair to subscribers who support continiously.
This change has been requested by Apple, who also is asking us creators to raise our price by 30%, as they will take a 30% cut of every subscription. We don't think that's fair to you or to us.
These changes aren’t live yet, and we will continue to offer our Monthly Releases on Patreon for the time being. However, once these policies are implemented, we will no longer be able to provide our releases through Patreon under these conditions. There’s no rush, but we do encourage you to join the Guildhall now to avoid surprises later.
The Guildhall allows us to continue offering high-quality miniatures at a fair price, with no third-party interference. It’s a platform built for our community, where your support goes directly to the development of our work—without extra fees or unfair practices.
Why Switch to the Guildhall Now?
Fair Pricing, No Loopholes – The Guildhall keeps the monthly release structure intact, rewarding those who support us consistently.
No cuts to apple or third parties – By using our platform, your subscription goes directly to the creation of new content, without unnecessary fees from third-party systems.
Guildhall Exclusives – Get access to special, member-only extra parts every month.
A Platform Built for You – We listen to your feedback and continue improving the Guildhall to provide a seamless experience.

Hello to our First 100 Adventurers and Early Merchants!
We want to start by assuring you that you won’t have to pay more than you do now on Patreon. This post is to clarify the system we’re implementing, designed specifically for you.
With the launch of our new platform, we’ve worked incredibly hard to ensure everything runs smoothly and fairly. The creation of the Guildhall became necessary due to the changes that Patreon is planning to implement in the coming months, which will affect their billing system.
As some of you may already know, Patreon’s new 30-day subscription cycle could allow members to receive two monthly releases while only paying for one. This undermines the consistent support from loyal subscribers like yourselves and creates an unfair situation for those who have stood by us every month. This is why we are transitioning to Guildhall, to preserve the value and fairness of our releases.
We are still learning as we go, and things will become easier and smoother with time. Not all systems are live yet, but everything will be ready for the next monthly release, The Rise of the Beastmen.
First and foremost, thank you for your incredible support! Being part of the First 100 Adventurers or an Early Merchant means that you are one of our earliest supporters, and we are deeply grateful for that.
Our top priority is making sure you don’t lose your early status, which is why you don’t see the “Early Bird” tiers available on Guildhall. As you may recall, the Merchant tiers on Tribe are more expensive than the original ones here, as a way to thank you for being our earliest supporters. We’ve also kept the Guildhall Merchant tier higher (similar to Tribe) to ensure you retain the same benefits.
Here’s how the system will work:
We’ve created Early Bird tiers on Guildhall, but they are hidden for now to give you priority access. This way, the fastest community members won’t switch before you, ensuring you don’t lose your early bird benefits.
We will send you a private message through Patreon with a link to join these hidden tiers at the same price you’re paying now, reflecting the same benefits.
Pricing and Benefits:
$9 for the First 100 Adventurers, which includes the Collector’s Bust.
$29 for the Merchant - First 30 tier.
$35 for the general Merchants tier.
Once again, we truly appreciate your support, and we’re excited to bring you along with us as we grow and improve. Thank you for being part of this journey!
