Will the Ad Mech keep the Imperium free of excess, or will the Daemons win for Slaanesh? Find out in this 40k Dice Check battle report!
JonP joins Matt in an epic battle for 40k supremacy on the Dice Check YouTube Channel. Matt is bringing his Slaanesh Daemons army to try and smash those pesky Loyalists. Whereas JonP is playing his fearsome Admech which has been performing well lately, so we’ll see if the Daemons can do anything to them. Either way, we’ll see soon enough who takes the day!
