Will the Custodes keep the Imperium free of plague, or will the Death Gaurd take the day? Find out in this Dice Check 40k battle report!
Bricky joins Dameki in an epic battle for 40k supremacy on the Dice Check YouTube Channel. Damecki is bringing his DG army to show off what the Chaos faction is capable of. Whereas Bricky is playing his trusty Custodes, but he has his work cut out for him. As Death Guard has been placing in the top three of almost every tournament as of late. Still, will any minis die as two of the toughest armies in the game face off in an ancient clash.
