Poverty, alas, is a truly debilitating condition, and it is becoming increasingly common amongst the gaming community. Not everyone can afford to hire scores of bionically enhanced workers to assemble and paint their models. Not everyone can afford to sheathe their platinum-cast miniatures in diamond-shod carry cases. In fact, not everyone can afford to buy models in the first place.
Well, we all know how much Games Workshop want to save you money, and it just so happens that Contests HQ received a call this morning from none other than the Head of GW himself, asking us whether we could do something to promote money-saving ideas
[1] so everyone has more cash to spend on important things like...oh, I don't know...prostitutes. Alcohol. Candy Floss. Anyway, being the kind-hearted gentlefolk that we are, we gladly accepted their challenge, and so this month we have for you a never-before-seen
[2] competition which'll have you reaching into your cupboards instead of your wallet.
[1] - Conversation may be entirely fictional. Competition not endorsed in any way by GW.
[2] - May have been seen before.
