In this 40k Dice Check Battle Report, the Necrons take on the Death Guard, but there’s a twist, Twitch Chat plays the armies!
Some seriously evil and ancient foes try to take each other down on the Dice Check YouTube Channel. Will the Necrons be able to resist the rust and decay or will the Death Guard conquer another world? Well, Twitch needs to help out as they get to make decisions and even change how the game plays! Either way, we’ll see soon enough who takes the day!
The Dice Check 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, then dive into the battle!
