In this SN Horus Heresy battle report, the Ultramarines try to hold off the rampaging World Eaters, but are they up to the task?
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, will the traitors or loyalists win the day?
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!
