noob aces squad

By malladin.ben, in X-Wing

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to the game, but I've just received delivery of the imperial aces and I'm toying with building a list to put them in. I have two starter sets, a TIE expansion and a TIE advanced set.

Here's my first stab...

Lorrir

Kir Kanos

Mauled Mithel

Backstabber

Howlrunner, swarm tactics

Seems to me like it should be fast, mobile and able to kick out a fair bit of damage when the special rules kick in.

Thoughts?

Swap Howlrunner's Swarm Tactics for Squad Leader. Kanos has a lot of trouble dealing damage without also having a focus, but when he has an evade AND a focus he often gets 4 hits.

I appreciate the accidental/non-accidental typing of "Mauled" Mithel. He's notorious in my parts for hitting asteroids.

Agreed on Squad Leader. Not just for Kanos, but Lorrir (pre-stress, of course).
