Will the Admech take another win or can the Chaos Knights prevail against the new book? Find out in this 40k Dice Check battle report!
Kenny from Next Level Painting joins Matt in an epic battle for 40k supremacy on the Dice Check YouTube Channel. Kenny is bringing his Chaos Knights army to show off what the Chaos faction is capable of. Whereas JonP is playing his trusty Adeptus Mechanicus, who have been performing super well since the book came out. Will Kenny’s skills be enough to take the win?
