In this SN Horus Heresy Battle Report, will the staunch defenders be able to hold off the rampaging Death Guard?
A battle for HH supremacy is happening on the SN Battle Reports YouTube Channel. This time we get to see how the new edition plays out on the tabletop, and it is great to see how the games go. The real question is, will the Imperial Fists’ defenses hold against the legions of the Death Guard?
Their studio is quite an excellent place for a game, so we’re excited to see who comes out on top. Let’s first look at the lists and then dive into the battle!
