John Blanche's En Garde is a upcoming 54mm miniature duelling game based on concepts and ideas by legendary Warhammer artist John Blanche. Featuring rules designed by Mordheim and Trench Crusade writer Tuomas Pirinen and with a host of artistic talent behind the look, feel, and miniatures for the game this is shaping up to be a fascinating project.

In this anthology of interviews Jordan Sorcery chats to all of the key players involved in the creation of John Blanche's En Garde: exploring the inspiration, technical approach, wonderful craftsmanship, and sheer passion that has driven the project.

John Blanche, Tuomas Pirinen, Ronan Duggan, Nigel Wood, Thomas Elliott, Paul Hicks, Patrick Masson in conversation with Jordan Sorcery.
