A new type of Howlrunner swarm.

By Joker Two, in X-Wing

I'm not normally a list poster, but I conjured up the following squadron less than half an hour ago. I texted it to a friend, and he replied "Stop, just stop. You're sick and need help." Facing his Warhammer 40k lists is the stuff of nightmares, so from him, this is the highest compliment I can ever receive.

TIE Fighter + "Howlrunner" + Determination

TIE Interceptor + Alpha Squadron Pilot

Lambda Shuttle + Omicron Group Pilot

Lambda Shuttle + Omicron Group Pilot

Lambda Shuttle + Omicron Group Pilot

100 Points

Form the Lambdas into a wide triangle with Howlrunner at the center. The Alpha can flank or fly point to block. Fly slow, Focus with the squint and the shuttles, Evade with Howl'.

Alternately, you can pull the Alpha Squadron Pilot for Engine Upgrades or Sensor Jammers and Fire Control Systems or Anti-Pursuit Lasers.

I don't have any shuttles right now, but I know what's next on my list.

well, just fly past the shuttles turn around and rip them apart. You can also shoot the quint or Howl first and then take the shuttles apart, doesn't matter. They will not be able to turn around and shoot you anyways.

Howl will probably die on the first pass, as always; she's prime target when she shows up.

Working shuttle builds look different :-)

My suggestion, drop the interceptor (I love interceptors though), make two into dog fighters (advs+EU) and one a doom shuttle. This might prove a bit more viable late game. Otherwise as pointed out, people will just get behind you and shred the shuttles. Just my 2 cents.
