Silver and Gold: Thousand Sons vs Adeptus Custodes and Grey Knights

More televised battle reports - and this one is an absolute monster!

Behind the paywall again, I'm afraid. By access to my boundless screen charisma with worth the shilling.

Time for another one of my half-yearly appearances on celluloid - back to the Winters SEO studio to film a battle report on their subscription channel Deployment Zone TV (seriously think about giving it a look - a one-month subscription of £5 gets you access to 50+ battle reports. That's 10p a batrep - and three of them feature me!)

Continuing the escalation of points, this battle was a massive 3000pts each - there wasn't left in my cabinet by the time I was packed up.

Moreover, I wasn't just facing one army, but two: an alliance of Adeptus Custodes and Grey Knights - the Emperor's first and last creations. I've never played (or even seen much) or either before, so it was a heck of a learning curve for me. Luckily Magnus and Ahriman were on hand to help out.

We played the 2018 Chapter Approved mission "Decapitation Strike" and, without spoilers, this was a long old battle with a lot of twists and turns (and jokes!).

It was great fun to play, so I hope you get the chance to watch it.
