(Jake has sadly fallen ill and can’t make the stream so Chris will be stepping in with his Custodes!)
In this 2000pt Warhammer 40k battle report, Mike leads a sphere expansion with Shadowsun at the forefront! Chris comes in to save the day just like his Custodes normally do!
Check out the beautifully painted T’au Army from @SiegeStudios in action with Mike’s unique take on a T’au Empire force! Meanwhile the Custodes finally return in Arks of Omen with the chiseled custodian features of Chris to lead them.
Our VT battle reports bring a blend of entertainment and education. So if you are looking for an interactive Warhammer 40k coaching game, this will be perfect for you.
For this Warhammer 40k 9th edition battle report we will be using 2000 point strike force armies along with the Games Workshop Warzone Arks of Omen: Grand Tournament mission pack.
In this Warhammer 40,000 battle report, we talk through the T’au Empire and Adeptus Custodes army lists and the secondary objectives that work well for them.
We show you the armies, the mission, the deployment, turn by turn analysis, and the end of the turn and game coaching round-up.
