In this Horus Heresy SN battle report, the Dark Angels take on the Imperial Fists to see which Legion is truly the most worthy!
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, which Legion is the best and most loyal to the Emperor?
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!
