Forum,

I've got a tourney on Saturday, and I am determined to run Imperials. I love the Firespray, and have just started to get to grips with the Lambda. Based off of my collection, can you help me construct a good build? Here are some I have been toying with:

First up, this is based off of The_Brown_Bomber's idea, with my own flavour:

Kath Scarlet (38)

Expert Handling (2)

Gunner (5)

Colonel Jendon (26)

Rebel Captive (3)

ST-321 (3)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Mauler Mithel (17)

Veteran Instincts (1)

I like it enough, but I fear it lacks red dice. So:

Kath Scarlet (38)

Seismic Charges (2)

Expert Handling (2)

Rebel Captive (3)

Omicron Group Pilot (21)

Darth Vader (3)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Obsidian Squadron Pilot (13)

Obsidian Squadron Pilot (13)

I've also thought of being unexpected and running bombers, something like:

Colonel Jendon (26)

Rebel Captive (3)
ST-321 (3)

Scimitar Squadron Pilot (16)

Assault Missiles (5)

Seismic Charge (2)

Scimitar Squadron Pilot (16)

Assault Missiles (5)

Seismic Charge (2)

Scimitar Squadron Pilot (16)

Cluster Missiles (4)

Seismic Charge (2)

Who knows. I typically play Rebels, but I have defected to Imps for a few weeks now. Any advice and proposed builds are welcome, my collection is in my sig as always.

Thanks all!

I should add, i've been running this at friendlies with resounding success:

the thing with the doom shuttle is that its a ticking time bomb, I wouldn't put any more upgrades on it other then vader personally, But other experts may of other insights. I believe theres a thread Sable posted about cowgirl kath, I believe its a buzzsaw shuttle with Kath with rebel captive and ion cannon and 2 obsidans. Kath provides ship control by stressing and ionning ships to line up shots for the buzzsaw (I persume thats his strategy). Its a pretty lethal tactic.

I know trelix is a fan favourite with Heavy laser cannon.

You could go balls to the wall and deck out kath with heavy laser cannon, Merc co pilot and marksmanship. but thats like half your points and shell get focused hard.

hope this helps = D. good luck on your tourney.

does the apl come into effective much on kath? being PS 7 and all.

Ewww, that used to be -APL -Seismic and +Prox for 99pts total. Whoops!

Thanks for the advice, I'm hoping I can pull something out of my metaphorical hat for this one!

Kath Scarlet (38)

Expert Handling (2)

Rebel Captive (3)

Darth Vader (3)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Obsidian Squadron Pilot (13)

This might not be bad, you can switch out the Vader crew for an advanced sensors, and have the shuttle dance around.

Or drop the OSP's to academies, the Vader and the Seismic charges and put a HLC on the shuttle or Kath.

Shuttle+ Firespray takes a lot of hurting. Gotta be able to dish out damage though, which is why i like the HLC. Having vader on it is a trade off, one that I haven't had pay off for me yet.

Shuttle HLC with Engine upgrade sounds like fun! That's a solid idea!

Okay, so now I have this:

Kath Scarlet (38)

Expert Handling (2)

Rebel Captive (3)

Omicron Group Pilot (21)

HLC (7)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

That's 99 pts total.

I'd swap the HLC for Gunner and Advanced Sensors/Fire Control System on the Shuttle.

FCS will keep you at 99pts while Adv. Sensors will go to100.

Apologies for any threadomancy, but I just wanted to thank everyone who helped my brain juices to flow for this one.

I ended up going 4-1 at my first tournie against HSF, B&Y, TIE swarm and an almost-mirror match, coming 4th and winning a sweet range ruler! Final build was:

Obsidian Kath

Kath Scarlet (38)

Expert Handling (2)

Rebel Captive (3)

Proton Bomb (5)

Obsidian Squadron Pilot x4
