Hi There,
Kawe from Westfalia Miniatures has been a Challenge supporter from pretty much the beginning, in fact he was a participant himself, creating some terrific work for visitors to enjoy. As many know, Westfalia began focusing exclusively on Napoleonics, then moved on to pulp subjects, and now concentrates primarily on dark fantasy and sci-fi.
I always try to jump in to support each of Westfalia's Kickstarters and these five figures are from one of their earlier releases. They're lovely boutique minis sculpted by Boris Woloszyn and themed around the wonderfully strange and creepy world of Mork Borg. For a few years I've been GMing some out-of-town friends using Mork Borg and the Roll20 app. We've been having a lot of fun with it as the system is very rules-lite, encouraging on-your-toes creativity, which often makes for some very funny (and bloody) game sessions.
Anyway, here are five denizens from the grim world of Mork Borg:
The Gutterborn Scum
![]() |
'C'mon my pretties! There's work to be done...' |
The Heretical Priest
![]() |
This fella looks like he's been huffin' a bit too much from the 'mystical censer'. |
'Skelly Jo'
Wrat
![]() |
'Come now, let's all sing the chorus together...' |
Wretched Royalty
![]() |
'The world may be descending into rack and ruin but I'm still on the top of the heap.' |
As to points, four of these five are over 40mm so I'll claim 7 points for each of those, giving me a total of 33 points.
I'll use the 'Wretched Royalty' to move from Gluttony to The Ninth Circle: 'Treachery'.
I'll also claim a Squirrel Point for this crew of degenerates.
Aaaand 5 skulls for Barks.
Thanks for dropping by!

From Millsy:
Yikes! These are weird and creepy enough to keep John Blanche awake at night!
They're all spectacular mate but if I had to pick a favourite it would be the Wretched Royalty. I love the saturated blue/greens paired with the muted palette on the rest of the miniature and the face is just packed with character too.
33 Challenge points for your total! Keep em coming...
Cheers,
Millsy
Wonderfully done. These minis are also in my pile - some excellent inspiration there Curt (agree with Millsy's remarks on the saturated blues and greens on the Royalty figure).
ReplyDeleteThank you! They were very much worth the hobby pile excavation. Maybe a few more to come, we'll see.
DeleteIncredible work as always dude. And, of course, terrifying! They are all stunning, but that Heretical Priest jumps out the most to me - beautiful work all around, but in particular the scroll effects are so awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks dude! I love the Heretical Priest model as well - creepy AF!
DeleteOh wow, these absolutely ooze character and I have no desire to meet any of them…. Mork Borg has always struck me as a very unusual setting and these fit the theme nicely. Smashing brushwork, really brings them to life.
ReplyDeleteMork Borg is an acquired taste to be sure. I love it, but that probably says more about me than the game. :) Maybe some 'Carnevale' coming up (based on your previous enticing work).
DeleteWeird, wacky and well painted
ReplyDeleteThanks Pete!
DeleteWow, those look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous painting as always on these really characterful sculpts, the heretical priest is super creepy!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
The painting style really fits these miniatures. Look at that priest's face! Great job, Curt!
