We’re already halfway through August, and while the rest of the team are still hard at work - it’s time to share a peek at what the Bestiarum has in store for September!


Return to Gorgon Catacombs

Continuing our trend of reviving the classics - we’re headed back to an old favourite, the Gorgon Catacombs. Another well-loved set that deserves its time in the limelight once again.


If these foul lice are new to you - check out the original set here.


Starting with a fresh new name, the Church of the Acarid, the lore crew have been hard at work rediscovering where this collection fits in the latest iteration of Doaden. The Faction Book will reveal all the secrets, but expect to see a desecrated saint, a doomed holy mission, and of course, the skittering and eponymous parasites that have overtaken the place…


We’ve got a buttload of new models coming that we’re certain will delight - just take a peek at these brutal knights, swollen and morphed by the Acarid parasites latched to their backs. These guys echo the design of the classic Heart Keeper - recently seen in Critical Role’s Age of Umbra Campaign!

In addition to the minis, we’ve got some news that we think you’ll be extremely excited about - next month includes a Terrain Set ! This mixed FDM/Resin set will allow you to replicate the Church of the Acarid on the tabletop, the crew have produced a host of ghoulishly thematic terrain pieces and furniture, here’s a peek -

There’s loads more on the way, from infested beasts, a twisted Pastor, and a continuing one of our favourite Bestiarum Archetypes - ‘Giant who’s having an absolutely terrible time’ (patent pending). Stay tuned for the full reveal!

Hello, my favourite Studio.
Thanks for your great work.
I have a question.
So, does the new monthly release means, that there’ll no longer be more penitent heroes?
