Right, Hopefully people from other armies will join in here but with no General 40k room, I thought I’d post it on home soil.

This topic has recently been raging on the Tyranid Boards:

How many people actually have a separate list depending on wat army u are going to be facing? Be it against the Mighty Marines, the weak but well armed IG or Tau or the CC specialise Tyranid or Orks. Do u always take the same army?

See, I play a different army list if I'm against a marine army with their higher toughness and gayer armour saves (more genenstealers) than I would if I was against a weaker, more numerous, more blasty Imperial guard army (more homagaunts) But I have been slatted and called ‘Cheesy’ or a ‘Power Gamer’ but I always thought it was the ‘Done Thing’ if I go into a battle I'm expecting to come across more Flames than if I was a marine army and more of those damn Rendering Assault Cannons.

What are other people’s views on this? Do u tailor ur army? Or go tournament style?

Also, can u post wat army u play (if ur not tyranid) cos I have a hypothesis that some armies need to be more customised than others. Eg. There is always going to be something a Lascannon is going to be need to take down and a Heavy Bolter is going to kill any armies troop no matter who u are.

Anyway, Cheers for any replies…
