September Trailer
Hey everyone,
Today, I’m beyond excited to share something that’s been a labor of love, sweat, and countless hours of creative energy. A new addition to Artisan Guild miniature line and universe, the race of the Elephorim!
You are invite to turn on the audio and take a look at the trailer of this 3D printable new release coming in Patreon and Tribe.
This project has been close to my heart, and I wanted to take a moment to talk about the journey that brought these incredible miniatures to life.
When I first imagined the world of the Elephorim, I envisioned a race of noble warriors from the south of Denmora, deeply connected to their unique island and their ancient traditions.
From the stoic Ivory Sentinels who stand as unyielding guardians, to zealant priest monks, to the majestic guardian Elepharion, the Ivory Colossus, to the heroes Luxor and Archpriest Boldar, and finally the charming dancing invoker Gea, whose sheer presence embodies the will of the ancient lords, each character in this set has a design that I've poured my heart into.
Working on this set was more than just sculpting miniatures. It was about creating an additional portion of the world of Mundus, a place that feels alive, with a history and culture that you can almost touch. Seeing the Elephorim come to life from my early 3d sketches has been an incredible experience. There were moments of pure inspiration and, yes, moments of doubt, expecially at the beginning.
But what kept me going was the thought of sharing this new project with you, seeing these characters on your gaming tables, becoming a part of your stories.
It wasn't easy to resist the temptation to post many wips on my social pages, as I usually do, but this month I wanted to bring you a surprise!
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your support.
You’re the reason I get to do what I love, and I’m so excited to share this with you.

All these animal-people aren't my thing. I never printed the rat or turtle sets. But this set I'll print a few models from. Great job.
I figure on doing some head-swaps for some snazzy ogre-types.
When will they be available?
They are live now :)
Just need some ranged dudes and these would make for a great alt-ogre army. Great work!
Good idea! You could try using orcs bows, since I sculpted them two months ago, with minimal resize it should work :)
You are to be congratulated
I'm sorry, I'll check it now
I really like the variety of sets you offer us for our campaigns. And the quality! My players are always happy to discover new minis on the table. I would like to have a new tavern set to offer more choice of heroes and diversity in races/classes.
Thanks Martin! A new tavern set would be amazing, I just need to plan the characters first :)
I hope i can change some of those female sculps to male bodies. It great to have the option, i just prefer the look of the male bodies faces and proportions
They look amazing! I can't wait to print and paint them!
Thank you Max!
Very nice.
Thank you!
I did not know, my world need an elephant style cult, just until now. Amazing as always. I am looking forward to release ✌🏻
Thanks Zdeněk! We didn't know either few weeks ago hahaha.
Look really good, but I don't have any direct use for them as I don't have any Loxodon or other elephant-folk in my campaign. Maybe someday I'll find a use for them, though. Might be OK outsiders, possibly.
Thanks! With the amount of weapon and extra pieces, you could use them to build the hero of your player in future :) Or a special NPC
They look amazing! Can't wait to get some of these models on the gaming table
Thanks Jared!
Amazing set! <3
Thank you so much :)
Crazy cool!
Thanks!
I think they're fire. Coming from someone who isn't really into Loxodon personally.. I completely want to play a Loxodon Paladin after seeing these!
Amazing! Happy to inspire!
I'm so excited! As a merchant people ask me for some of the more niche races a lot so this will be an excellent addition. I'm also so happy female versions were included in the full set, I liked the Ratfolk set but the only obviously feminine character was the Pin up, same with the tortle set. Which makes options kind of limited if you want to play a feminine character. This Loxodon set is so cool and so much better!
Thank you Alexandra! For some animal-looking people i think that it's fine that feminine and masculine appearence are similiar, just like with most real animals, that was the idea with the Turtlekin and ratkins. Their pinup were not really canon, I can't skip the pinup of the month :)
I'll probably be in the minority, but I'm not that into this set. If I was interested in adding Loxodon as a new animalian race, I would probably like the heads larger in proportion to the bodies and I would have liked the weapons and equipment more tied to an Indian or Southeast Asian theme with gurkha kukri and talwar. Probably some chakras. Or perhaps a few selections like Boldar, Gea and Luxor in an adventure pack with tongue-in-cheek mouse-warriors. However, I really appreciate the artistry that went into the sculpts themselves. The tusks and trunks are amazingly detailed. The trunk-armor and face masks fit onto the pieces well. I don't know if I need these in my collection, and loyalty rewards are no more. Have to see if next month rallies or becomes another vampire-October.
Thank you for your feedback Tim! At the beginning of the month that was one of the many options, I was almost making them using indian inspired weapons and attire, but after many sketches I liked mostly the heavy armored sacred guardians. With few time available there's not much days to plan, but in the future I hope to explore more those cultures!
Oh my Lord! You have truly outdone yourself with this. What an amazing and unique addition to the already colourful universe.
Thank you so much Eddy!
Oh heck yeah! I love Loxodon, and your Elephorim is going to scratch an itch! I hope we get some more sets of these in the future!
Thanks Lasse! I already have some ideas in mind!
This is a fantastic set! I already have a character in mind.
Amazing! Happy to inspire :)
Incredibly inspired. Guess I'll have to shoehorn elephant people in my campaign setting now.
Thanks! Happy to hear that!
Awesome set! I have a player who enjoys rolling-up animal characters. These guys provide a lot of character from appearances alone! Whenever I drop a new piece of yours on the table, it always gets a moment to be passed around the table. Your universe of characters and races has a mirror universe in our D&D campaigns.
Currently your turtle kin are guiding my players through a desert in search for a city of brass filled with your rakashas (tigers).
It makes me so happy to see the pinup actually is the same species as the rest of the release, with a similar face and everything! Only thing missing is her tail, though that is an easy greenstuff fix...
Thank you so much!
This was a stunning set. Great job!
Thanks Roddy!
I really enjoy these last two sets. They look fantastic as always, but I like the branching out in to some wild creatures. Elephants and fish aren't people I have very many models of. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Dylan!
Love'em!
Thanks!
I think these look great, and were a great choice!
Thank you Mathew!
Oh my Gosh, I can´t wait to print them!!
Thanks Rainer!
absolutely incredible
Thank you!
So many cool characters to do with Vikings, Spartans or even human monks elephant was a bad choice
Thanks for your feedback Tyny! I totally understand your point, I personally enjoy sculpting and playing humans and dwarves a lot more, however sculpting 12 set per year I need to sculpt something different from the normal from time to time, expecially because I made tons of viking inspired sets :) Have you checked Northmen Saga I and II?
Never saw a set like this coming, but it’s awesome!
Hahaha, me naither, Jeremy! I tried to make something different :)
You kept it quiet but all of your work pulls us in, as you seem to pour yourself out.
Thank you Tarnoc!
