Hi everybody,

Sorry for being a bit quite right lately - we're fulfilling the mammoth project that is MorkBorg, and we're well on our way to wrapping that up. I don't see any change in schedule for the 2 projects that will come afterwards - 'The Heroes' and 'The Dark Ten', and that's really as much of a project update as I can give you right now!

I will make another update once the hero production is in full swing.

Thanks!

Production Update
about 1 year ago – Tue, Mar 21, 2023 at 11:18:11 AM

Hi Backers,

The first step (after receiving the masters!) is to make flawless submasters that are then being used for all the moulds we need for mass-production. This is what's happening now and I have a bit of an update from Gregg the caster for you.

"Gregg with Wyrm Forge here, with a quick update on things.

We’ve completed the master mold making process, and pulled initial sub-masters for evaluation. This blue color seemed fitting.



Everything looks quite good, Boris’s tank’s shoulder piece is a complex and challenging one, but overall we don’t expect any real issues.

We’re looking forward to starting on production mold making and casting, once Westfalia’s Mork Borg project has wrapped up."


Cheers Gregg!

Production Update and some News from Roman
about 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 27, 2023 at 09:31:01 AM

Hi everybody,

Production: We're mostly on track with things, and it looks like we will send out parcels during April/May. 

Roman: We're still (but now more quietly) supporting this fine lad! 

1. We have cast and fulfilled his Patreon orders without charging him for anything. 

2. We are prepping a shop space for him where he will be able to offer his minis alongside ours. We will only deduct the production and handling expenses from such sales. 

I will make another update - probably during March, when production is in full swing.

Cheers!

Pre-Production Update
about 1 year ago – Mon, Jan 23, 2023 at 03:32:32 AM

Hi everybody,

Pre-production has started. The first step is always to make first offs / master castings from the hand-sculpted figurines, and this has been done.

The next step will be to prepare the production moulds, and this will start as soon as the campaign that came before The Heroes (Mork Borg) is fulfilled. The MB production is going very well, and we can pretty safely re-schedule everything to be ready 1-2 months earlier than expected.

So - for The Heroes that means that we're hoping to send your minis out in April, rather than in June!

I will make the next update when the mass production for The Heroes starts, and I expect this to be the case in late February / Early March.

Cheers,

Kawe

The money is with Roman!

Hi everybody,

Roman has just told me that the payment of 35%, (almost 4K) of the profits from this campaign have arrived in his account! 

In his own words:

"Want to say huge thank you for the community for being the quintessential awesomeness, and huge thank you for westfalia for being the most awesome miniature publishing company in the world. To Kawe in particular for creating an opportunity and making it possible, being supportive, for making the world better with kindness. To Boris in particular for being sincerely helpful and kind. To Greg, although I don't know him personally, for being a highest tier professional, as I am in awe of the quality of his casting.
Thanks to all of you we made something I am really proud of.

Roman Hryhoriev"

We did good team.
