August Open Post - The Winged Warriors
🕑 Added 2022-08-11 08:54:58 +0000 UTCGreetings Friends!
While summer still rages on in our mighty forest, we want to take you somewhere cool, to take your mind off the sweltering heat. This place is surrounded by mountainous columns of sandstones that reach high up into the skies with strong gales blowing tirelessly around the peaks. While most ground bound creatures struggle to ascend to the mountaintops, the winged Aarakocra make these peaks their homes.
These humanoid birds love this area as they are secluded from the dangers and common nonsense that goes on in the lands below. Marvelous stories come from those that visit their lands; gorgeous griffins that were thought long gone, defenders clad in armor such that no earthly creature was thought to be able to create, horrors of experiments gone wrong that live in the mountains and some, that came close to death on their journey, tell of a winged angel who came to them, promising a beautiful eternal life.
So let us have a closer look at what the tales tell in Augusts release of “The Winged Warriors” (18 unique miniatures for Adventurers and Merchants):
Dark Angel 75 mm and 32 mm pre-supported
The Dark Angel wanders the planes in places where death and blood have been spilled in abundance. The Angel feeds off the essence of fallen warriors and revels in the demise of the will of living ones. Though legend speaks of them as beautiful winged women who guide the souls of the living to the afterlife, anyone who has come face to face with one and has lived to tell the tale knows the truth about their terrible nature.

Aarakocra monster pre-supported
Legends say these beings once belonged to a mighty clan of Aarakocra warriors that lived deep in an unexplored and unforgiving jungle, ripe with magic. Surrounded by adversity they succumbed to the jungle's primordial terrible magic and became the very monsters they swore to protect their young from. In some fairy tales it is said that they were cursed by an evil hag to ever wander the jungles they called home and feast upon beast and man alike. Only one living being still knows of where they truly came from and that secret will die with her.
Ayalau the aarakocra priestess 32 mm and 75mm pre-supported
The exalted Priestess Ayalau is the highest rank among this flock of Aarakocra, she is beloved by all and held in the highest of esteem as she has made sure that the flock is always protected and lives prosperously. However, nobody knows that she has a dark side to her, for she is responsible for the monstrosity that lives in the mountains. Her twisted experiments to breed the perfect form have disfigured and cost the lives of many an innocent soul.

August release for Adventurers (Discoverers) and Merchants
Now with the release models out of the way, let’s have a look at the notice board!
Our Loyalty Rewards programme is still running, so later this month, anyone who has been supporting us for two consecutive months (July+August) without cancelling their sub (Discoverers and higher), will be getting an extra miniature.
To continue with the Loyalty Rewards, we want to remind you that the King Eonkar model has been distributed to Patrons who supported us for the 3 consecutive months of June, July and August.
The model is still available for Patrons who support us for 3 consecutive months, so it’s never too late to start if you really want to own this model.
The MMF 50% discount code for the month is available again and you can find it right here!
We also announce that Tribes has been launched on MMF - a support subscription for your favorite artist is similar to a Patreon subscription.
We remind you that there are three means of distribution for these files and all future releases; Google Drive, watch out for large files though as the release can be split into multiple zips, itch.io if you want to have release archiving and immediate availability and MyMiniFactory which will automatically appear in your MMF library on the first week of December, assuming you’re a patron during the November release.
We have made a DnD 5e style stat blocks for the Dark Angel and Aarakocra monster. We want to remind you that all of the stat blocks that we made so far are available to all our Patrons of Adventurers (Discoverer) and Higher.
Have a check of our socials! Find us out on our open group on Facebook where you can share your painting and interact with us. Be sure to also stop by our discord where you can always ask for printing help from Warden Nikki.
We hope that you will enjoy this release! Thank all of you amazing people for supporting us, we really couldn’t have done any of this without you.
Stay safe out there!
Sincerely yours
White Werewolf Team

Yeah sometimes it happenes, thanks!
I love the Dark Angel of the Valley sculpt, but the keys on the wings are way too small. I know it's too late for this, but for future models it's something to bear in mind. I had to drill and pin the wings in place to get them even remotely secure

Any word on a September preview? Haven't seen any sketches of what's coming. :)
