In this Tyranids vs Black Templars SN Battle Report, the crusaders try to turn back the rampaging alien horde, but can they do it?
Another battle for 40k supremacy is happening on the SN Battle Reports YouTube Channel. This time we get to see if the Tyranids can acquire that new biomass they so crave. But will the stalwart Black Templars let them have it?
