A Tale of Four Gamers

The collectors’ third instalment combines first defeats, deadline trouble and more ambitious modelling. Stephen’s Hierophant proves dangerously exposed, Paul adds professional soldiers to his Stirland theme, Dave creates Grimgor’s standard bearer and Asger finishes a carefully integrated Daemon Prince, showing how play and painting both revise an army’s original plan.
