Modelers Spotlight – Our Licensed Modelers and Their Unique Miniature Styles

The Artistry Behind Every Miniature

Here at Crypt Monkey Games, we've always believed that every miniature has a story to tell. That's why we've partnered with over 20 incredibly talented independent modelers from around the globe, each bringing their own creative vision to our catalog. The result? A collection that's bursting with personality, diversity, and that special something you just can't find anywhere else.

Supporting independent artists isn't just good business for us—it's what keeps the heart of the 3D tabletop community beating strong. These creators pour their passion into every design, and we're honored to help bring their visions to your gaming table.

Meet the Artists Behind the Magic

Mammoth Factory

When you think epic fantasy, think Mammoth Factory. This powerhouse team brings together skilled sculptors and artists who know how to breathe life into classic fantasy worlds. If you're looking for behemoths, dragons, or those larger-than-life monsters that make your players' eyes go wide, these are your people.

Their signature style screams epic fantasy—think powerful heroes facing down deadly beasts in sprawling dungeon encounters. You know those moments when your campaign needs something truly spectacular? That's Mammoth Factory territory.

Their fungal creatures from "The Sprawl" collection have become absolute bestsellers, and for good reason. These aren't just miniatures; they're centerpiece encounters waiting to happen. Perfect for those boss battles that your players will be talking about for years.

Here's what the team has to say: "We believe in great games with great stories!" And honestly, it shows in every sculpt.


DM Stash

Born from the passion of tabletop gamers and artists down in Australia, DM Stash gets it. These folks create models by players, for players, and you can feel that authenticity in every piece. Their releases often spring from their own D&D adventures in the Realm of Tharador, which means they understand exactly what makes a miniature special at the table.

Their style is gritty, realistic fantasy that doesn't shy away from the details that matter to RPG enthusiasts. Whether you need heroes, villains, or those memorable NPCs that fall somewhere in between, DM Stash delivers with that perfect blend of character and craftsmanship.

Their "Of Elves and Men" and "The Thawing Dead" collections have become fan favorites, and once you see them in action, you'll understand why. These aren't just pretty faces—they're characters with stories written into every line and detail.

"The continent of Tharador weaves a rich tapestry of history and lore. Discover it all with us," says the DM Stash team. Trust us, once you start exploring their world, you'll be hooked.

Fates End

Some artists create beautiful miniatures. Others focus on functionality. Fates End? They've mastered the art of doing both. These creative minds specialize in blurring the lines between gorgeous art and practical tabletop accessories, creating pieces that are as useful as they are magical.

Their whimsical, magical designs bring a sense of wonder to your gaming setup. Think enchanted towers, fantasy buildings, and potion-themed props that make your table feel like it belongs in a fairy tale. But here's the kicker—everything they create actually works beautifully for gameplay.

Their dice towers and storage accessories have developed quite the following, and it's easy to see why. These aren't just pretty decorations; they're engineered to enhance your gaming experience. In fact, their dice towers are designed to not only look absolutely magical but to ensure fair rolls every single time.



Finding Your Perfect Miniature Match

With so many incredible options, how do you choose? Here are some tips that have worked well for our community:

Start with your favorite artists. Once you find a modeler whose style speaks to you, explore their full collection. You'll get consistency in theme and scale, plus you'll discover pieces you never knew you needed.

Think about your campaign's vibe. Are you running a grimdark horror campaign? Looking for whimsical props for a lighthearted adventure? Or do you need heroic adventurers for that classic fantasy feel? Use our Themes Collection to narrow down your options and find exactly what matches your table's energy.

Keep an eye on new releases. We regularly feature the latest releases from our modelers. These new new releases are often designed to become the next crown jewels of your miniature collection.

Consider your table setup. Scale matters! Whether you need giant monsters for epic encounters, standard RPG heroes for your core party, or classic 28mm-32mm figures for traditional setups, make sure your new additions will play well with your existing collection.

Why Supporting Independent Creators Matters

Every time you choose a licensed model, you're doing something bigger than just getting a cool miniature. You're directly supporting the independent artists who pour their hearts into this craft. This support allows them to keep innovating, refining their techniques, and expanding their creative horizons.

It's a beautiful cycle: your purchase helps fund the next wave of creativity, which means more amazing models for all of us to enjoy. Plus, when you choose licensed prints, you're helping to fuel real innovation in the industry while empowering artists to continue doing what they love.

Want to show even more support? Follow your favorite modelers and connect with them directly:

Share photos of your favorite prints, tag the artists in your social posts, and help spread the word about the incredible work these creators are doing. The community's love means the world to them.
