In this SN Horus Heresy Battle Report, two vastly different legions vie for supremacy over the fate of mankind- check it 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 actually plays out on the tabletop and it’s great to see how the games go. The real question is, what version of Space Marines is really the best?
Their studio is quite the cool 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!
