April Trailer - Death-Tide Jurakins Set
Edit: sorry we forgot to add the lore in the post
Hello guys! Another quick post :)
We just finshed to assemble the trailer of the next month release!
It has been really hard, we never sculpted sea creaures, but we really love to embark in these kind of challenges.
It's now time to take these Gigabytes of Zbrush models and turn them into light STLs.
In the meantime we want to announce that we have updated the Delani Epic Boss on MyMiniFactory, and it now contains the Pre-Supported files too.
We will not offer Pre-Supported files in our shop, we are doing that only for the Epic Bosses.
If you need pre-supported files of the current or future (not past) releases, just join one of the Pre-Supported Tiers :)
Thanks 3dPrintingPro!
We hope you like our next release as much as we had fun sculpting these new characters!
Here some Lore in our crappy English:
6 Death-Tide Jurakins (modular)
Jurakin are the amphibious people-of-the-water. They come in different varieties, depending on where their eggs had been laid. This reflect the social status of the family and determine the stenght of the off-spring. The Low-Tide Jurakin are shorter and lunatic creatures, perfect to swarm the enemies in large numbers. The imposing and disciplined High-Tide Jurakin are smarter, but less in numbers.
King Osteras, chosen of Holmuran (modular)
The Heroic-King Osteras is the strongest and most dangerous Jurakin in the Death-Tide underwater kingdom. Lord of sea and lakes, he claim to be the chosen of Holmuran, the god of water. He seek to overwhelm the surface reigns like a tsunami, conquering cities and settlement to purge them from the unholy humans. It's the Tide-Tyrant, who in the name of Holmuran, chose a king between the Jurakin race, granting him precious gifts like extra limbs or super powers.
Pope Blobulblà (modular)
The mad Pope Blob-Bulb, called also Blobulblà the Tide Caller by his underlings and lunatic Low-Tide Jurakin, is the highest religious authority in the Death-Tide Kingdom. He's in charge of dark rituals and any kind of spiritual matter. Being on the first line casting Soul Spells to turn Low-Tide warriors into crazy berserkers, Jurakin Popes have usually very short careers. This normally ends with the little amphibious devouring the caster during the blood-frenzy.
Telaxia - Death-Tide Beauty (Fantasy Pinup)
The high overlord of the Sea Kurkalla, the Tide Tyrant, often grant special gifts to his victims. Telaxia, once a noble knight from the city of Rodon is one of the examples. After the death of his party, who was in charge to destroy the sea Tyrant, she has turned into a corrupted and evil mermaid, perfect to lure sailor and pirates to a certain death! It is said that Tide-Tyrant control their "gifted" victims till their last breath.
Kurkalla the Tide-Tyrant (and Osteras mounted version)
Even if the Heroic-King is always a High Jurakin, the real mastermind behind everything is the Tide-Tyrant: a sort of extreme intelligent and manipulator aquatic creature who can live thousand of years. The most prestigious Arcanists claims that Tide Tyrants are the aquatic cousins of Tyrant-Eyes, found in the depths of the earth. Other legends says that a Tide-Tyrant is born once every few hundred years from a black Jurakin egg in unknown circumstances. This large aberration is capable to control the mind of other creatures, and provide them mutations and lesser mind powers. A Jurakin king is always provided of pecular mutations by the Tide-Tyrant. Expert says that when the King is mounting the Tide-Tyrant to lead his troops in battle, it is in fact the monstrous aberration who's controlling the mind of the Jurakin king to impress and inspire his troops.
Death-Tide Shrine
This mysterious huge Shrine found by the fighter's guild near the coast pulsates with a mystical aura. As Jurakins doesn't build over the surface, this made Arcanists and Scholars thinks that in previous eras the water level was much higher and Jurakin people where territories were much more extended.

Anyone else who keeps watching the trailer every few days in anticipation?
These are some truly inspired sculpts! I'd love to see them available without the barnacles, though. I agree that they add some interesting texture and painting possibilities, but barnacles would never attach to any fast-moving object and look, to me, out of place on such sleek creatures. Perhaps some airbrushed scales for texture, instead?
Oh snap, that's such a valid point, although, you could say they attached when they aren't wearing the armor, and it's just standing on their armor stand or whatever
Super excited for this set!
Kurkalla is amazing.
I was a little unsure if i needed this set, but then I saw that mermaid. I'm sold.
Fantastic! In my opinion this is your best sets for months. And the all the other sets were great too^^
I am so excited about these! The best part about fish people is you can paint them all kinds of fun colors which will be great fun!
I like this... "murlok" like minis! Are Awesome! Im using the bands to have different kind of bands for Frostgrave and is great to have such variety!
That's such a great idea! I mostly just paint stuff and don't have much time for the actual gaming part so this never occurred to me, but its a great way to use these minis.
I probably already know the answer, but would the Kurkalla tide tyrant be released as a full figure with a tail so it could be posed somewhere besides the base? Definitely a cool set of figs either way, and I'll get out the green stuff if there's not going to be a tail but figured I'd ask...
You are correct, sir!
These are so damn good. Mer-folk type minis are so lacking in my collection too. And that kraken rider!!! I am completely pumped. Fantastic work.
I will make them servants of Slarkrethel, amazing models!
Can't wait for this release!!! Really need to get a resin printer to take advantage of the awesome models.
I am so unbelievably excited for this set that I’ve convinced my wife to let us keep supporting your awesome work for another month longer. Pleeeeease do a MERFOLK set the following month and my life will be complete! I need some badass mermaids and mermen for them to fight against.
looks amazing!
Sculpts look awesome but tenacles from Tide-Tyrant seem to a little flat. There is no texture. May it is only lack of my imagination how it could look when it will be painted :-)
I am SUPER excited. I'm always looking for something different. I think these are prefect to run as a proxy army instead of GW's damn sea elves. These are WAY better looking!
These look amazing!!! Everytime the poll choice I voted for gets voted out I get a little sad... until I see the winners post sculpting. woweee!
I don't think I saw this mentioned or asked, but what are the chances that you guys release an Aboleth-type creature later on based on this mount? I love it.
These are just perfect for one of my games I'm running! I needed impressive looking Deep Ones and these guys fit perfectly. So ready to print them all!
Im excited these look cool. Also, thank you very much for adding the presupported files to the depth dragon.
LOVE IT!!!
I. Am. Impressed. I personally voted Kobold but now I'm glad my preference wasn't chosen
Amazing really looking forward to printing these
I have to say that the team at Artisan Guild is one of the best sculpting teams I have yet to see! They constantly deliver high-quality minis in dynamic poses! Way to go!!
I’m loving this set a lot <3
Wow! Really looking forward to painting those up!
Nice sculpts as always. Next up humans? I need some that don't look too out of place next to your other models :)
Love these! Motivated to come up with a suitable side quest for my party. Only wish those tentacles had a bit more texture 🤨
These are unique and fantastic. So glad I signed up.
love it, but empty hands and distance weapon options would be ace. Also guys humans next month?
There are several empty hand options. Plus they have nets and spears, which can be thrown. For underwater, I doubt these guys do much distance, or that they can build crossbows/harpoon guns.
Looks amazing as always. I always look forward to your prints!
Holy. Crap.
OMFG!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!
Wow.
Someone has to say it: Please include a SFW variant of the pin-up. Nothing elaborate, just an iconic seashell bikini top.
One of the best set so far !
I’m so excited about these, they might be my favorite so far
I was not excited about these, but after seeing them I’m super stoked. Already want to do a skirmish against some pirates
Wow! So cool
Sahuagin! <3 For non D&D players, that's what these are ;) https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&sxsrf=ALeKk027iLTgGPeXb0eM-QDyKPdRaWHUZg:1584563585550&q=sahuagin&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwio2Y-t76ToAhURLewKHY_JBsMQsAR6BAgEEAE&biw=1920&bih=947
Really excited to get my hands on these....awesome models in every way! Stay healthy AG!
Are those extra arms on two of the models optional? Is it possible to print them with just two arms?
Kinda throwing me off, too. Seems like it should be consistent across them all, like the lesser fishmen have 2 arms and the greater fishmen have 4 arms.
You couldn't have better timing. This will work great for my campaign starting at the end of this month. I will probably have to leave out the Tide Beauty but she looks great.
I love all of it!! the mermaid is great too! Ready to fight!
Holy moly!!!!!!!!
Awesome looking sculpts can’t wait!
I wasn't hyped by the idea of this set, but now I really want it !!! Good job !
Those are amazing...you guys out do yourselves every month. Stay safe over there.
These designs are sick!
That ride tyrant looks amazing! I also super like the levitating dude. Also, those presupported tiers are great, I actually managed to print everything this time instead of only having time to print one or two models. Have a toddler so I barely get time to eat let alone add supports to models, it was a huge lifesaver. Thanks @3DPrintingPro for the work you put in!
Same here
That's incredible
This is my favourite set so far! Incredible sculpts and can't wait to use them in my game!
Superb!
That terrain looks like it would also be awesome shrunk down as a monk or something
I know there were people complaining...but I gotta say this might be the best one yet. That boss and pinup!!! Wooooooooo!!!
I'm so excited for these. They look amazing.
This notification made me jump up in excitement! These fishmen look amazing
