Things are heating up in August's release with our latest expansion to Balazar's realm of ecstatic sensation. This release brings not only an all-new collection of miniatures but also features a faction pack which expands deeply on the lore surrounding Balazar’s court and his Dominion beyond.


We’ve also revisited and upgraded a host of older models, bringing them up to our current standards of quality, detail and design because the past deserves no less decadence than the present!


Hope you're ready for this one…

New collection overview

Miniatures Collection - The Cabal of Languor

We’re heading back into familiar (but far from safe!) territory with the return of Balazar’s Dominion, formerly known as the Court of Balazar. The name change is more than just a new label: It reflects the true scale of his influence, which reaches well beyond the opulent walls of his court.


This time around, we’re diving deeper into the roots of that Dominion through exploring the Cabal of Languor . These strange, blood-soaked mystics are the ones that forge the unbreakable bonds between mortal host and demonkind that pervade Balazar’s dominion. That union is at the heart of how this society functions. Their rituals, their beliefs, and their quiet authority form the foundation of everything that moves within Balazar’s realm.



This collection includes miniatures which:



  • Feature demonic cabalists and their hovering master of ceremonies, mid-ritual and far too comfortable with all the floating blood


  • Add demonettes who saunter like courtesans and grin like predators, never quite waiting for permission to pounce


  • Unleash gilded killers with hooked blades and talon-feet, turning combat into something disturbingly close to performance art


Faction Pack: Balazar's Dominion

Accompanying this collection is an absolutely massive faction book, featuring an complete overhaul of the faction’s lore, further grounding it within the world of Doaden, expanding upon it and with all-new statblocks and inspiration for the entirety of the roster. This has been a massive undertaking, we hope you enjoy the results!

All our Faction Packs include:


  • Plug-and-play 5e Statblocks.

  • Rich and engaging world and faction lore.

  • Narrative compositions to help you set the scene for your players.

  • Helpful guidance on how to introduce these terrifying new characters into your next or ongoing D&D campaign.

  • Original Concept Art.

BONUS for this month:


  • Our updated Balazar's Dominion Faction Book contains new lore and 5E Statblocks for EVERY miniature across the entire Court of Balazar collection. Yes, that means you'll get part 1, 2, 3 and 4, all in one book!

Remastering the Court of Balazar

Alongside this month’s new releases, we’ve been hard at work giving some of our classic Court of Balazar miniatures the attention they’ve long deserved. These remastered models bring the original range up to our current standards, incorporating everything we’ve learned over the years, improving detail, durability, printability, and, most importantly, their quality as miniatures on the tabletop.


We’ve also updated several base sizes across the range to better align with common wargaming systems, making the Court of Balazar more adaptable than ever for your favorite games.

Reworked miniatures overview

This turned into a much bigger undertaking than expected, and we’re running slightly behind on delivery. The remastered files went into presupport today, and we expect to release them within the next week or so.


If you already own any of these STL files - either individually or as part of a collection - you’ll receive the updated versions automatically.


And if you haven’t added them to your library yet, now’s the time: the entire Court of Balazar range is 15% off through the end of August on our website! For our subscribers, this discount extends to a whopping 60% off on the website of their subscription. Find the Discount Code Here (or here for our Patreon subscribers).

Just a question about these re-masters; When are thet released? I purchased a bunch of Balazar files on 4th and 13th of August, but haven’t gotten any updates yet or new files.
