Warhammer 40k Battle Report: Ultramarines vs Craftworld Eldar
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 will be Sweep and Clear.
In this Warhammer 40k battle report we talk through the Ultramarines army list and the secondary objectives that work well for them.
We also go through the Craftworld Eldar army list and their 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.
