Erm this thread has changed its tune slighltly.
My initial post was about trying to stop people getting stuck using
the same formations and army composition (I'm an Ork Player myself).
Admittedly some of the answers went towards stopping cheese but is
coming back to my inital problem.
I suppose the main reason I got stuck is didn't have as much painted
as my oponent most of the time therefore he allmost allways wanted
big games which meant I had to field most of my painted mini's.
It was made worse as I was allways bolstering breakpoints of my clans
to max having big formations, but trying to keep vp's points low.
Even Mega Gargants didnt help changing compostions much, 'o you
just destroyed my Gargant with one of your Imperators have 19vp's
why not(14 for Mega, 3 for stompers, 2 for Bonebreakers etc)!
