Goatboy’s Grimdark Armylist – Blood Angels Disco Inferno!

Free Inferno Pistols are awesome. But this Blood Angels list empties the chapter armory with 94 of them. Burn Baby Burn!

I blame this list because some coworkers – who are part of the 40K Mafia at my company – threw out this little bit of info to me.  Inferno pistols are free now and you can put a lot in a Blood Angels army.  Heck you can put so many out there it is a little bit absurd to even think about.

Just the sheer amount is pretty dang nutty so I thought – why not try to fit as many as you can. Of course all of them will have Jump Packs because well – you got to get close and wreck stuff with your burning pistols of death!  I am not going to throw any Warlord traits etc on it – just some basic list thoughts as you can try to build this out for yourself.

Of course – this army might not be legal in the next version of the game let alone trying to find this many Inferno Pistols is a chore to try and do.  Especially left side and right sided ones.  Still you can collect the bits and burn your way to victory if you want or just – wait to see if this army is still even viable.

This is a rather absurd army list as it basically runs 94 Inferno Pistols that will come at you and make your day rather sad.  That is just an insane amount of Melta damage and I can’t think a lot of armies that would like to be shot with that many things.  Heck it just seems absurd to think this is a viable thing you can do in the game.

Remember kids – free upgrades given to armies that are not set up for 9th edition correctly can end up giving you absurd options to do some damage.  It also just leads to really weird looking armies with Thunder Hammers strapped to models backs and other weird looking model stuff.

Light em up!
