PLAGUE-MINE LORE & PICTURES
Our Modular figures are provided with ball-jointed wrists and a wide array of weapons for infinite customization, to give you the tools to make your perfect encounter/army. We use a custom 32mm scale (for the average human).
6 Plague-Mine Kobolds (modular) Worshipers of the ancient Shapeshifter God Melmor, the Kobolds are ignoble lizard-dog horned demons who move around hopping on two legs. These short wicked monsters infest mines by stealing precious minerals and replacing it with toxic ones in order to spread the plague of their god. Cities with sewage systems are teeming with these evil and keen beings. Adventurers should never underestimate Kobolds: their innate abilities to brew potent poisons, stab and hide could catch even the most veteran soldiers off guard.
Kornutaaz the Plaguemancer (modular)
Plaguemancers are highly cunning Kobolds blessed by Melmor, the god of plague and shapeshifters. According to the Plague Queen's plans, Kornutaaz is the perfect Kobold to bring pestilence and death to the surface world. After all, he earned his place as herald by taming the monstrous Plague Zeek tunneler. Kornutaaz will make sure the metal extracted by dwarves and humans will be cursed and highly toxic.
Doggoz the Cagemaster (modular)
Even if the Plague Queen favor the plague bringer and poisonous spellcasters, her clan need a strong and imposing general to command the swarm of undisciplined Kobolds to battle. Doggoz is the biggest and baddest Kobold, perfect to subdue large amount of minions and lead them to victory. He loves to bring pieces of his victims inside his little backpack-cage... who knows what's inside that now?
Ishtarra the Plague Queen (modular Pinup)
Chosen by the God of Plagues Melmor, Ishtarra is a powerful enchantress whose role is to conquer the great cities of humans by raising an immense horde of Kobolds right under their feet, in the sewers. Her quest will be of vital importance when the Soulless armies of Tialevor will besiege the human fortifications: endless waves of Kobolds will emerge from mines and sewers to weaken the cities them from within. Even if she appears as a sort of beautiful lady, one know the true origin and appearance of this witch, as for many other worshipers of the Shapeshifter god Melmor.
Diggaz the Plague Zeek (Beast & Mount)
Among the largest and deadliest Zeeks who infest the lands, the Plague Zeeks are probably the most terrifying. Giant armored worm-like monstruosity from the depths who spread death and plague, capable of causing earthquakes and destroy a town in few minutes. The Kobolds decided to build a platform on top of the beast to shoot spells and arrows: lucky, Kobolds compensate their lack of wisdom with their huge number. It is said that Kornutaaz managed to tame this huge beast with powerful sorceries and by hatching the egg himself. He called the thing... Diggaz.
This model is suited to be used as any kind of giant worm or grick.
Melmor Shrine (terrain)
This improvised Shrine of the sewers is dedicated to the God of Plague and Shapeshifting Melmor. It might not be the most glorious altar, but it serve the purpose of the Kobolds.
Now let's get back to work! We still need to convert most of the heavt Zbrush models to perfect lightweight STL. All the models will come pre-supported by 3dPrintingPro and we are correcting any kind of errors as he test-print the models.
This Set will be available on day 3rd September 2020!
Have a great weekend :)

I am about to get a 3D printer, is there a way to buy this Kobold pack, its amazing!
YES! This looks amazing - love it!
Epic boss? Or regular celestial upscaled?
Right? NGL I'm pretty underwhelmed, especially with the all the feathered wings from the gryphkin coming just before this. Definitely not as much wow factor as the previous bosses.
I am so into this release! Ya'll are killin it.
Anyone else watch the preview video and notice how they were all sneaky with the Epic boss? I almost passed over her! I can't wait for the set and knowing she's coming soon too is more than I can handle.
These look to be my favourite collection from Artisan Guild. I love your creativity guys, and the value for money brings to the 3d printing community. My only wish is that more people share their paint jobs for inspiration and learnings.
That checks Kobold off my list of need's, now I just need some rat people's.
Seconded!!
Looking forward to printing and painting these, and I wasn’t really for kobolds at all, great job on the set.
Will there be a way to get the epic I'm going to miss as I didn't know about this until August.
As a Patreon all epic bosses are 50% off, so that's one way for sure.
The cagemaster looks e p i c
holy hell this is AWESOME
I LOVE the guy with the candles on his shoulders! Amazing work as always!
OUTSTANDING ... as always
Showed this to my DnD group. Now they all want their next characters to be kobolds. What have I done...
If you mix in Twin Goddess's next month, you can add bards to the party, too. They have a Kobold mariachi band coming .
Great work!! Thank you guys
I really didn't want kobolds. I mean really! But then I saw the video and find them so full of character that you changed my mind. Great stuff!
Looking fantastic! Cant wait. I will say I am a little sad that the staff from the concept art didn't make the final release. That thing looked awesome.
We added it, thanks for telling us! We almost forgot eheh
This may become my new favorite set!! Holy crap these look great!
As I replied above, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that these can be proxies for all the various interpretations of Kobolds over the years, lizard like, dog like, goat like even goblinoid to an extent! I also adore how adaptable the pin up is! It could easily be a tribal Tiefling too!!! Great work AG! As always, I let out a sigh of disappointment when the kobolds won; “yay, another addition to the overflow of kobolds on the market”. But these are brilliant and I’ve been proved wrong again!
What lore source are you referencing for doglike? It was my understanding that kobolds were dragonoids.
1st ed Kobolds only had a text description, where they were described as ‘lizardy’ and tiny with ‘dog-like’ screams. The first time they were depicted was in the first Monstrous Manual, so 2nd ed, where they were illustrated as little dog people. The common understanding is the illustrator forgot about the lizardy part and remembered the dog-like part of the original description when formulating their imagery. Since then, they’ve even been illustrated as goat-like and goblinoid. So really, any of the above descriptions are canon as they’ve all been shown as such in official DnD lore. Therefore, AG’s representations are the most ‘accurate’ I’ve seen of a kobold race! (I’m only new to DnD in grand scheme of things, but HOLY HECK I love a good lore dive!)
these,... are,...so....amazing - sniff - tear
Man always you guys did a great set again!
I absolutely adore these sculpts, but have to agree with people above about hoping for a real kobold pinup. I like the current one, but was really looking forward to sexy kobold
Yes! I have waited long for the Kobolds!!!
These figures look fantastic! However these are definitely not kobolds. Kobolds are dogmen. These are nothing like that. They look like another lot of lizardmen. Great figures but you should call them something else.
The kobold is a sprite stemming from Germanic mythology and surviving into modern times in German folklore. Although usually invisible, a kobold can materialize in the form of an animal, fire, a human being, and a candle.
Holy crap this looks so good!!!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SET
That boss figure!
You are getting better each month. Congrats for this great work. I am in.
Dude... you should have a "Take my Money" button for the impatient patrons and for an extra $10 you "Get it NOW?"
Awesome!!!!
Damn, I was thinking about skipping September (not cause the sculpts that are awesome as always, but I don't like much the theme)... And when I was almost sure of it, the epic boss is shown... So, I suppose I'm in for another month -_-UUU
I kind of expected them to be more plague-ridden and diseased. They’re cool though!
would LOVE to see you guys do a version of the purple worm!
these are awesome!
Those kobolds are just... wow! Amazing! Best kobold minis I have ever seen and I love me some kobolds. Good choice on not making a sexy kobold. lol
Kornutaaz is the best in the set
I love this SO much! I can't wait.
I love the crate backpacks and candles. Can't wait to print them all!
I totally want Ratfolk now
Finally the pinup's can be used as minatures! More Ball Joints on All The Things!
Very cool. Love the plague/toxin effects.
This set looks fantastic! I was super hoping for an actual Kobold pin up though. They deserve their pin ups too!!
You tricked us on the kobold pinup... 😜😂Awesome job as usual! And the flail... Oh, i already love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was worried for the pinup being to rat like but it’s great idea love the sculpt no pants and nipple guards that’s how I roll too as a Wookie ;)
I was not for them... boy was I wrong!
The leaping Kobold and the one with the shovel and candles are awesome! The wurm is amazing and the teaser for the epic boss has me itching for its release!
The mount is insane.
Dayum these look amazing!
I love the Shovel and Pickaxe as weapons for these ferocious beasts!
Out effin' standing again
Great great great great! Cannot wait!
Usually with other brands, I don't care much about Kobolds, but these are awesome, I voted for them anyway. You have exceeded my expectations, that Zeek Worm is amazing and I love the temple piece. Great dynamic minis.
That giant worm is dope
They look really good! I’d have loved the pinup to have a tail, or more kobold-like feet, instead of being basically a human body with a weird dragon head stuck on it, but after reading the bit of lore it makes more sense. It’s more of a personal preference. Either way, gorgeous work as always, and looking forward to the release <3
DAAAAAAAAAAAMN!! They look good!!!
Wow love the sneak peak of the epic boss 🤘🏻hope you post some more pictures from her soon
A lot better than what I was expected. You never cease to amaze me Artisan Guild!
Oh my damn these look so good! And that worm is next level amazing!
Loving Valkaya The Fallen!
That is amazing! The epic sculpt has he me so hyped for next month!
They all look the same... I thought there was going to be some variation so we’d have replacements for Quaggoths, bugbears, Gnolls and kobolds... the worm is cool tho
I think they had different horns/beards
I think the jumping kobold with the pick might be one of your most interesting and dynamic sculpts yet
😮😲😮
Oooweeee
