My family and I are confused about the wording in the instructions. Perhaps my question is best asked with an example:

I've massively over-sprayed my models! Help!
I foolishly over-sprayed some of my Warhammer models. They are now have a thick coat that obscures some details and has cracked in places.
Can I remove this coat at all? Do I use chemicals? Do I just sand them down?

The Ancient One awakens fast!
At the end of each player's turn, you draw a Mythos card. The Mythos card (among other things) opens a gate to an Other World. This increases the Doom counter on the Ancient One.
For two players, each round the doom counter will go up by two…
