In this Warhammer 40k Battle Report Steve brings the mysterious Harlequins to see if he can humble the rise of the Drukhari.
In this epic battle report Joe be running the Drukhari, hoping to steal another victory with them and keep that positive win record.
Steve will be running his newly completed Harlequins, hoping to show that they have the speed and manoeuvrability to even outclass the dark kin.
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 Vital Intelligence.
A 5 objective Mission, with a Hold 2, Hold 3 stipulation.
In this Warhammer 40,000 battle report we talk through the Harlequins army and the secondary objectives that work well for them.
We also go through the Drukhari 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 Harlequin 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 Dark Eldar list is very competitive and also incorporates a great theme.
