Warhammer 40k Battle Report: Astra Militarum vs Grey Knights

Uncategorized May 04, 2021

In this Warhammer 40k Battle Report we have the Hammer of the Emperor vs the Lords of Titan, Its The Astra Militarum vs Grey Knights

In this epic battle report Joe be running the Imperial Guard, showing you that they still have what it takes to be competitive.

Jake will be running the new and updated Adeptus Astartes Grey knights list, which we hope will be a nice surprise

For this Warhammer 40k 9th edition battle report we will be using 2000 point strike force armies along with the missions from Games Workshop Grand Tournament 2020 mission pack.

The mission for this battle report is Sweep and Clear.

A 5 objective Mission, with a Hold 1, Hold 2 stipulation.

In this Warhammer 40,000 battle report we talk through the Adeptus Astartes Grey Knights army and the secondary objectives that work well for them.

We also go through the Astra Militarum army list and their secondary objective choices. 

We show you the armies, the mission, the deployment, turn by turn analysis and with the end of the turn and game round-up. 

 If you are looking for a new competitive Militarum army using the rules from their 8th edition codex, but also themed to their narrative play style then you will love this list.

Same for the Space Marines list is very competitive and also incorporates a great theme.
