So I've had luck with a similar list, but this is what I think I'm running for the Assault tournament:

Soontir Fel with PTL and Hull Upgrade

Howelrunner

Academy Tie x4

99 points

This way I can have a good shot at passing of initiative, so Soontir moves last and is hopefully out of arc. Thoughts? I had run this with 3 named ties instead of the 4 Academies. This seems better for blocking and firepower

Honestly, I have no criticisms.

MTFBWY

Pretty basic but strong. Only possible change would be putting the hull upgrade on howl instead. I realize Fel is more important for the end game, but howl is pretty important too, and without ptl she will die a lot faster than fel, so the extra hit point might help her more.

That is a good point. I do intend to have Howl taking evade most rounds, less desirable target with a dodge

There's not a force on this earth that makes Howlrunner a less desirable target. When surrounded by a passel of TIEs, homegirl might as well have Biggs' ability as well. If she takes Focus AND Evade AND somehow Sensor Jammer, Elusiveness, and Flight Instructor, she'll STILL be Priority no. 1 on the kill-list.

Her ability practically doubles TIE fighter damage.

Soontir

PTL Stealth, RGT Hull

Howl runner

Swarm tactics Hull

Black Squad Pilot

Draw their fire

Academy Pilot x2

98 pts to ensure that initiative give for Soontir.
