4 Cool 40K Lists Worth Looking At
Who says netlisting is king? Here are a few of my favorite non-standard lists with at least 5 wins from this year’s BAO.
In total there were 15 players with at least 5 victories at this year’s BAO. Of these players 5 went undefeated, and only one was the true champion. (Go Brandon!). Listed below are a few armies I thought stood out from the rest. They were either fun, unique or both and kudos to each player for designing a list that suited their own style and performing well with them. One quick note, I did not include Brandon’s (the winning list) list here because I wanted to show you guys lists you haven’t seen yet. Now, onto the lists!

I would also like to give a special shout out to Matt Barlow for not only getting best Tyranids but also being 1 perils, and failed grounding test away from making the top table and competitng against Matt Root for the championship. Also, there were two Blood Angels players in the top 16 with a 5-1 record. Danny Kwan, and David Hetherington. David I want your list! So if you can, shoot it over to
~Which one’s your favorite that stands out from the cookie cutter meta?
Update: I am working on getting a list-tech article for both Brandon’s Dark Angels, and Danny’s Blood Angels.
