In the intricate tapestry of Warhammer 40K, where the noble sons of Guilliman cross paths with the mystical kin of the stars, Vanguard Tactics introduces another thrilling Live Battle Report.

On the backdrop of an ancient cityscape, remnants of bygone battles whisper tales of glory. Here, Stephen leads his stalwart Ultramarines, paragons of discipline and bearers of the Codex Astartes. They stand firm, determined to uphold the Emperor’s ideals. Against them, Jake channels the arcane energies of his Aeldari, swift and enigmatic, always dancing on the knife’s edge between light and shadow.

With 2000pts under each leader’s command, delve into the tactical intricacies and strategies of the 10th Edition of Warhammer 40K. Join us on this journey as we unravel Codex insights, highlighting the stoic ranged prowess and ethereal psykers of each side.
