Tuomas Pirinen, designer of Warhammer's 6th edition, Mordheim, and Trench Crusade has had a long collaborative relationship with legendary Games Workshop artist John Blanche.

As part of a project to find out more about the development of the brand new duelling miniatures game John Blanche's En Garde I spoke with Tuomas about that working relationship. This extended conversation features some content from my previously released anthology of interviews concerning John Blanche's En Garde, with additional material as Tuomas explores some of his earlier experiences working with Blanche.
