I've been a bit of a fan of The Lazy Forger's work ever since I found his blog which led to the Full Spectrum Dominance game and eventually Jack (The Lazy Forger) winning the OnTableTop Award in 2022 for the game. Starting with two factions and a mountain of terrain they've slowly been working on some amazing new factions like the Union and Corpos but they can all move aside as the Reclaimed are on their way!
Wyrm Forge has been producing some fantastic miniatures for other people for a long time, casting in metal, resin, and even 3D printing they are masters of their craft. Late last year they took over some of the Westfalia sculpts to begin producing their own miniature ranges and this has been followed by their own sculpts. The newest of these is for the upcoming set of Delta Station sci-fi character models.
You can sign up now to be notified when Westfalia's upcoming Kickstarter Campaign goes live. Once again the campaign is based on meticulously hand-sculpted miniatures by Boris Woloszyn, but for the first time we get to see Boris and Westfalia tackling science fiction.
