Harlequins vs GSC *Stephen's Muscle Beach Birthday Special*: Warhammer 40K Battle Report!

In this battle report Stephen will be commanding the Harlequins and Jake will be taking command of Genestealer Cult.

Join us in celebrating Stephen's birthday by doing a Muscle Beach themed game of Warhammer 40K!

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 Nephilim: Grand Tournament mission pack.

In this Warhammer 40,000 battle report, we talk through the Harlequin 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.
