Tonight on Vanguard Tactics, we present a Live Battle Report that’s a spectacle of resilience and honour. Aaron, wielding the pestilence-driven might of the Death Guard, faces off against Jake’s Adeptus Custodes, the Emperor’s golden shield. This battlefield is a testament to endurance versus elite precision.

In the decayed corners of a forgotten world, Aaron’s Death Guard, embodiments of rot and resilience, prepare to unleash their corrupting plague. Their advance is as inexorable as time itself, their resolve forged in the fires of Nurgle’s blessings. Against them, Jake’s Adeptus Custodes stand resolute, their golden armour a beacon of the Emperor’s light. Each Custodian, a paragon of battle, ready to demonstrate why they are the guardians of the Golden Throne.
