Tau Vs. Harlequins: New Codex 40k Dice Check Battle Report

New codex ListIn this new codex 40k Dice Check Battle Report, the speedy jokesters known as Harlequins take on the burgeoning power of the Tau!

Some newer but no less deadly foes try to take each other down on the Dice Check YouTube Channel. Will the Harlequins be able to fend off the Tau Empire from surging further into the galaxy? 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!

As fast as the meta comes, the meta goes, this battle report is a testament to the dumpster fire that was pre-NERF Harlequins…
