Tonight on Vanguard Tactics, prepare yourselves for an enthralling Live Battle Report that showcases a clash of lineage and chaos: Jordan’s formidable Blood Angels, using the Sons of Sanguinius Detachment, fresh from their recent RTT victory, face off against Michael’s menacing Chaos Space Marines, adorned in the terrifying Night Lords scheme.

In this eagerly awaited battle, Jordan’s Blood Angels, the embodiment of martial nobility and the thirst for honour, challenge the dark cunning of Michael’s Chaos Space Marines. The Blood Angels, renowned for their rapid assaults and the ferocious bloodlust that echoes their primarch Sanguinius, are determined to claim victory with a blend of speed, fury, and aerial dominance. On the other side, Michael’s Night Lords, masters of terror tactics and psychological warfare, aim to dismantle their foes with a combination of shock assaults and relentless strikes from the shadows.

Armed with 2000 points of their most elite forces, this battle is set to underline the tactical depth and exhilarating combat scenarios that Warhammer 40K is famous for. It’s a classic showdown of valour and virtue against guile and terror, as Jordan’s angelic warriors strive to outmanoeuvre Michael’s chaotic marauders in a game where every move and strategy could lead to glory or disaster.
