Net Lists and why they aren't ever the IWIN button!

Hey Guys and Gals Bill here with some more random thoughts. This time is my opinion of why in competitive 40k " bad" or "wonky" lists will more often than not beat that latest hotness of a net list. 

Time and time again a list that wins a GT or even a local RTT baffles the interwebs as to how a person could win with a list like that. Of course an easy part of that answer is the person is a skilled player. A more often overlooked answer is these odd ball lists simply haven't been prepared for.




A super powerful build loses power very quickly when everyone starts to practice against that build but put something together that has good utility, all the tools and just completely outside the box and people tilt their head. You can never prepare for something completely unique especially if this unique list has unit synergy and doesn't rely on each unit to work independently. Very easy to prepare for the list that everyone is playing. 




So go ahead, assemble your 5 daemon princes, tzeentch screamers, wave serpents and riptides. I'm ready for ya! How many practice games against an entire army that moves 48" have you had?

Internet disclaimer: this is in my experience I'm sure you have one million solutions to all my claims. Great!
