Tonight on Vanguard Tactics, brace yourselves for a Live Battle Report that’s set to be an enthralling display of strategy and resilience. Jordan, commanding the enigmatic Dark Angels, is ready to face off against Michael’s formidable Tyranids in a gripping encounter.

Set on a battlefield steeped in history, Jordan’s Dark Angels, employing tactics from the New Codex featuring the Inner Circle Task Force detachment, stand as a symbol of mystery and martial discipline. In contrast, Michael’s Tyranids, harnessing the Synaptic Nexus detachment, represent an unyielding force known for their adaptability and sheer numbers.

Each leader has assembled 2000pts of their finest troops, setting the stage for an in-depth exploration of Warhammer 40K’s 10th Edition’s tactical nuances. This match-up is a masterclass in strategy, pitting the disciplined Dark Angels against the alien strength of the Tyranids.
