In this Dice Check tournament report, the Drukhari take on the Black Templars with some high tournament stakes!
Dameki joins Raf in an epic battle for 40k supremacy on the Dice Check YouTube Channel. Dameki is bringing the best army out there in the way of the Dark Eldar. Whereas Raf is playing the new hotness, the Black Templars. We’ll have to see if the crusaders are strong enough to repel the raiding force. Either way, we’ll see soon enough who takes the day!
