In this Astra Militarum vs Tyranids SN Battle Report, the humans try their best to fend off the insane alien horde, but can they do it?
Another battle for 40k supremacy is happening on the SN Battle Reports YouTube Channel. This time we get to see what the real heroes of the Imperium can do against a rampaging horde. The real question is, can the Guard stand up to the incoming tide?
