In this Horus Heresy SN battle report, the new Imperialis Militia takes on the Word Bearers, and we get to see how the new rules play out!
A battle for HH supremacy is happening on the SN Battle Reports YouTube Channel. This time we get to see how the new edition and rules play out on the tabletop, and it is great to see how the games go. The real question is, can the militia hold the line against the insane power of the Word Bearers?
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!
