Stephen is taking command of the Custodes & Mike will be running the GSC.

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 missions from the Games Workshop Grand Tournament 2021 mission pack.

The mission for this battle report is Scorched Earth.

In this Warhammer 40,000 battle report, we talk through the Custodes and GSC 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.
