In this Horus Heresy SN battle report, the Imperial Fists try to stop the Emperor’s Children from rampaging across the Imperium!
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, can the Imperial Fists hold the line, or will the Emperor’s Children break through their defenses?
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!
