===Honourable Mention: Chaos Daemons===
Daemons were not a very broken army in 5th Edition, but they had one strategy that really was agony to play against; FateCrusher. FateCrusher revolved building an army around Kairos Fateweaver. Fateweaver was a Lord of Change whose main draw was that ''any Daemon Unit'' within 6 inches of him could '''re-roll all failed saves - including cover.''' 

Chaos Daemons at the time did not encourage mono-god armies as it did in 6th, 7th and 8th. Daemons could freely ally with each other (but couldn't join units). So Fateweaver's abilities affected tough, non-Tzeentch units like Plaguebearers (who at the time of 5th ed, still had a 4+++ FNP) and Bloodcrushers (which had a 3+ armour save). 

The tactic was simple; surround Fateweaver with Bloodcrushers and Plaguebearers, and your enemy would weep. Not only were your Plague Bearers now getting ''3 saves'' (since all Daemons were Immune to Instant Death, Plaguebearers almost always got their FNP), but your Bloodcrushers could re-roll their 3+ armour save. The weakness of the strategy came from the fact that Fateweaver himself had to take a leadership check every time he suffered a wound; if he failed, he would be removed from play. Considering he had a re-rollable 3++, though, this wasn't too likely to happen.

With the arrival of Codex: Daemons 6th edition, this strategy ceased to exist.
