In this Chaos Codex SN Battle Report two vicious factions of Chaos fight each other for the favor of the gods, who will win?
Another battle for 40k supremacy is happening on the SN Battle Reports YouTube Channel. This time we get to see how the new Chaos Codex actually works on the tabletop. The real question is, what version of CSM is really the best?
