Warhammer 40k Battle Report: Dark Angels vs Adeptus Mechanicus
In this Warhammer 40k Battle Report we see the new Adeptus Mechanicus vs The Dark Angels.
In this epic new codex battle report Steve will be showing off the new 9th edition codex for the Adeptus Mechanicus. We will go through the army, its rules, Stratagems and abilities.
Joe will be running the resilient Dark angels, Deathwing and Ravenwing mix. Will the admech have the damage output to deal with all that transhuman physiology.
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 Scorched Earth.
A 6 objective Mission, with a Hold 1, Hold 2 stipulation.
In this Warhammer 40,000 battle report we talk through the Adepta Sororitas army and the secondary objectives that work well for them.
We also go through the Dark Angels army list and their new secondary objectives.
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 Dark Angels army using the rules from their 9th edition codex, but also themed to their narrative play style then you will love this list.
Same for the mechanicum list is very competitive and also incorporates a great theme.
