Evolution of Bestiarum ║ December Teaser!
🕑 Added 2021-11-15 11:18:50 +0000 UTCEVOLUTION OF BESTIARUM - CHANGES TO RELEASE STRUCTURE AND NEW TIERS
Many thanks for the amazing feedback we received from you all back in September!
With all that information in mind we’ve spent hours of meditation and beseeching the Dark Gods in search of wisdom and secret knowledge. Now we are ready to share our visions of the future with you all.
OUR AIM
We want you to be able to explore the mood and grimdark atmosphere of Bestiarum across a wider variety of game genres, not only DnD, but also Skirmish Games like Frostgrave or Forbidden Psalm, and War-games such as SAGA: Age of Magic, the Ninth Age and other systems. To achieve this, we are making some changes to our release structure moving forward.
Without further ado, here is our plan to achieve this:
REWORKING AND DEVELOPMENT OF EXISTING FACTIONS
We’ll be returning to previous releases and building these into more fully fledged factions. This will be achieved by expanding the unit rosters and delving deeper into their lore, offering many more opportunities to explore these threats across different game systems.
REVEALING NEW ADVENTURERS
We’ll be regularly creating new Adventurer sculpts as part of our monthly releases, unique and brave heroes from across the realm of Doaden. These will be great for Player Characters in TTRPGs, or as ragtag mercenaries or heroes in Wargaming systems.
NEW FACTIONS
We’ve got plenty more ideas we want to develop and work on, so you’ll still receive the same new and unique horrors you’ve come to expect from Bestiarum. These new factions will enter the rotation and eventually will have a chance to be developed further into fully fledged armies and threats for you to collect and build upon.
CONSISTENT UNIT SIZES AND STRUCTURES
As part of these changes, we’ll also be introducing more consistency in the size of our miniatures and bases to better fit the usual model size-profiles you see across most popular miniature games.
Everything will still fit the 32mm scale, but in order to keep everything useful across a variety of game systems we’ll be structuring our releases to be more relative to the ‘usual’ spread of Infantry, Creatures, Behemoths and Characters you see across TTRPG, Skirmish and War Games.
Fans of massive models don’t need to worry, we’ll still be making massive sculpts like the Giant Haast, but at a slightly slower pace to protect your monthly resin budgets!
NARRATIVE AND GAME SYSTEMS.
This coming December we are reintroducing DnD Adventure supplements! But it's not all, you’ll also be seeing gaming supplements for other games allow for even more game options.
As part of this general shift towards building upon our existing work, you can expect the narrative and adventure content to follow a more episodic style than you’ve seen previously. Lore and Faction revisits will build upon the concepts we’ve started to explore already and adventure content will be a self-contained part of a larger and ever-evolving world.
You’ll still be battling eldritch horrors and fallen gods, but the journey to reach them might take a little longer but be all the sweeter when you finally get the chance to defeat the foe once and for all.
NEW TIERS.
To support all those changes that come we’re also planning to introduce New Tiers in December. The Exact details are still under discussion but here is the overall idea:
Small Tier – Est. $5 .
Patrons who simply enjoy adventures in the grim dark universe of Doaden, or want to participate in Painting Contests, be part of the community or simply support Bestiarum.
- DnD and other Game System supplements
- 2D Miniatures for Paper-printing.
- All Community Rewards
- Discount to MMF
- No STL files from monthly releases
Main tier - $10
For the lovers of our minis and those who are not interested in DnD or other game supplements. It will include all other rewards except Gameplay modules
- Monthly STL Releases
- All Community Rewards
- Discount to MMF
All-In Tier - about $12 (it's actually Slayer Tier) It will remain as it is.
- Our current Slayer Tier, unchanged.
- All rewards from 2 previous tiers
Merchant Tier - no changes are planned so far
These changes will begin to roll out starting this December, we’re really excited to share the new release with you, but for now, here’s some concept art – can you guess which Faction we’re starting with?
Cheers,
Bestiarum Team

For some reason, I just stumbled upon this post and I've got to say I kind of sighed a sigh of relief when there were no changes for merchant tier. Around half of the other Patreons I'm subbed to are overhauling and it's been a bit of a nightmare to keep up with.
Alexei Popovici
exactly
Maniac-Eye
great way! this is welcome!
Timothy E Broekhuizen
I think you answered this question already, but I just want to double check im not misunderstanding it. Currently on the Slayer Unleashed €10 tier. If I change nothing, will I get both the STLs and the supplements? Thanks! The preview looks amazing.
Alexei Popovici
thank you my friends for the comments and support. It is a really tough twist for all our team since so many things have to be reworked but we really hope it will bring to nice improvements!
Alexei Popovici
thank you!
Alexei Popovici
thanks ! sculpts are on the way!
Alexei Popovici
now Patreon is setup to Euro. 10 euro - is about 12 - 12,5$ so its the highest tier. The new one for 10$ will be the most optimal choice for Patrons who are just after the sculpts
Alexei Popovici
models from the factions we are reworking will appear in the reworked release but scale and number of pieces in model may change
Alexei Popovici
you bet! yes there definitely will be extra poses and variations for those dudes. Well be showcasing then in few days!
Oh boy those teasers are amazing. <3

Those teasers are amazing! Can't wait! The changes sound exciting! Looking forward to the future.

OMG, it's like HATE done by Bestiarium *swoons*
This is really exciting, congrats to you guys!
Daniel Verhoeven
Creepy concepts, can't wait to actually see the real mini's

This is good news and looking forward to seeing what comes of it.

If we're a 10 subscriber now, will we stay a 10 or move to 5/12 or have to choose again. How will that come to be? Thanks!
Valentin Drouet
Looks that the Skull & Bones faction is coming back ! This is really great news, expanding the Bestiarum universe is a great prospect! Should we expect any Throwbacks related to the returning factions, in case we still miss some releases? I'm about to finalize the 70% off purchase on MMF of the factions I'm still missing! ^^ We're looking forward to Allstein obviously !! Bon courage with the month to come :)

And I really like the addition of paper miniatures. Very useful in RPGs, but it's hard to find nice ones. Most are boring vanilla D&D :-p
Gavin Butstraen
Looking good. Are these additions to the Skull & Bones tribals? If so, would you consider a third head hunter and/or skull crusher? 3 makes a better number for a unit than 2.
Terje Erwing Bjelkholm
Welcome news! Looking forward to what you come up with.
Ted Soper
Sounds perfect to me
Dangerousbeans
Fantastic news! I discovered you guys through the Forbidden Psalm FB group and, for all intents and purposes, you basically *are* the miniatures range for PS! I'd love to see some stuff geared for PS specifically but also Reign in Hell, This is Not a Test (some more post-apoc sexiness from you guys would rock my world). December releases look awesome. Excelsior!
ammut
Hell yeah, those concepts are just fantastic! Also, you sound really passionate and excited about this change of course, that's good to hear.
