Goatboy’s Grimdark List – Chaos Daemon Vehicle Stampede
I found this Chaos Deamons list while looking at some of the winners. Let’s take a look at why I think it had what it takes to rule the tabletop.
I have talked about Brent Simon before, but find his crazy chariot-heavy Daemon army to be really unique. It puts a lot of interesting pressure on the board with a bunch of options that are tougher than you expect them to be. Plus, it has a lot of other bodies and the Flamers to control the game.
There is something about having a lot of fast options with bigger-than-average wounds across the table. Yes, they can work together, but a lot of the time, it is just too many things at once, and it is hard to keep them locked down. Plus the Chaos Daemons Vehicle horde has a ton of models you don’t always see with the Skull Cannons. I happen to have some Skull Cannons in boxes. So creative lists like this always tickle my fancy with what you can do and think outside of the normal box of competitive 40K.

Welcome to the Warp
It feels like everything in this list is a threat at all levels of the game. Shooting you, showing up in bad places, and just being a pain in the butt to remove. I love the idea of this and I bet when flamers get hit, the army can just shift in a new direction. Good job to Brent for again showing how an unorthodox army can be pretty dang deadly – especially in the hands of a crafty player.
All hail the Primordial Annihilator
