Spam, cheese, ___star. Whatever you call it, what are your thoughts of maxing something out in our army?
Here's my reason for asking. It seems that right now spam is the way to run any army. The way the rules are written does not favor a balanced "all comers" list, but a tailored list that tries to do one thing really well. Because of this, you can get roll stopmed by someone. The trick is to try and set up a list that just overwhelms your opponent with something they were not prepared to deal with. It almost seems that for anything to be really effective you need to have so much of it on the table that your opponent is forced to deal with you. All my best lists (from any of my armies) are typically something that maximizes something a unit does well and just overloading on that thing. I wish that a balanced list did better, but typically that leaves me being on the defensive and once that happens I've already lost the game. For example, 3x dakkafexes perform really well. 1? Not so much, usually dead by turn 2.
Is there another approach to list building that people found that works? Is there another way to impose your will on your opponent? Is it possible to have a balanced list where you are still focused on doing your thing well no matter what your opponent brings to the table?
