Boris Woloszyn Shows Off More Weird & Wonderful Miniatures
June 14, 2022 by brennon
Boris Woloszyn has been showing off more of his amazing sculpting work recently over on Facebook. Many of these Fantasy miniatures are destined for Westfalia Miniatures but others might be destined for other projects too.
Calixtus, The Immortal // Boris Woloszyn
The big new preview was for Calixtus, The Immortal which has been in the work-in-progress stage for a little while now. The model is impressively daemonic and would happily find a place in all manner of strange and esoteric games I don't doubt.
I love all the little details that start to show themselves as you peruse the miniature. You've got the screaming faces of souls within the neck and that woman approaching from the heart of the beast. Is that the true nature of Calixtus or some poor souls that they prize more highly than the rest?
There is a real sense of "excess" to the miniature that ties it in with the various Deadly Sins and it would be a perfect option for games like Reign In Hell and the upcoming IDOLS of TORMENT.
More From The Woloszyn Workbench
As well as the towering 140mm Calixtus, we also had a few more previews over the last few weeks. One of these was for a Westfalia-bound Death Knight of sorts.
"Death Knight" // Boris Woloszyn
I've named the miniature Death Knight for want of a better title but I think this fellow would be a solid boss choice for a roleplaying adventure. Imagine him awakening from a tomb at the end of a dungeon, ready to send you packing with that mean hammer of his.
The negative space within the centre of the miniature is going to be fascinating to see when the final miniature pops up. You certainly need to give him a glowing heart or something that should be the target of your archer's eye!
Next up, we have two miniatures that are also bound for Westfalia's collection.
Ollowain & Troll // Boris Woloszyn
This shows off the daring Elven warrior Ollowain coming up against a lumbering Troll. The attention to detail in Ollowain's face is superb and I like how the angular features of this Elf warrior have been captured so well. I appreciate a good cloak as well so that gets a thumbs up too!
The Troll is not to be overlooked of course. All the ripples and creases in the skin are going to be fun to work with when it comes to shading and highlighting. The face also gives me the sense that this fellow doesn't take any nonsense from interlopers!
If you like these miniatures, make sure to take a closer look at what Boris does with random things like old leather chairs and fluff from the drain!
Are you going to be keeping an eye out for the release of these miniatures?

Those look really promising.
Stop showing such stuff! You’re scaring my wallet!
The “Death Knight” is blatantly the main villain from a roleplaying supplement Oath of the Frozen King which was successfully kickstarted a handful of years ago. I seem to recall it being a system free adventure kit but with some notes and stat blocks for certain systems (like 5th edition).
He doesn’t have a name. He’s just The Frozen King. In the original artwork the heart in the centre of his chest was glowing ice blue with a bright aura that lit up the surrounding area of his chest and breastplate.
Oh well that’s cool 🙂
Yeah. You can find some of the old pictures of him on the kickstarter page (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/absolutetabletop/adventure-kit-oath-of-the-frozen-king/description). The sculpt is very faithful to the artwork. There was also a single action pose and an image of him and his frozen undead minions facing off against a group of heroes.
Bam ? that troll is awesome
That’s a fabulous looking set of figures is the first one Rou Paul the Demon.?
Oh lordy yes I think I need these minis
