In this live 40k Dice Check battle report, the forces of the Aeldari face off against the most imminent Tyranid threat!
These two armies clash in an epic battle for 40k supremacy on the Dice Check YouTube Channel. Will the weapons and technology of the Aeldari be enough to knock out the bugs? Or will the Tyranids rampage through their lines (and there look to be about a million of them this time)?
