Tournament List - Imperial

By KillingTime, in X-Wing

Hi All

I'm pretty new to the game, and I'll be playing in one of the AOIA tournaments next weekend. I'm not expecting to win, just have some fun, and I'm thinking of running the following list as I've been playing around with something similar in friendly games and having some reasonable success.

Krassis Trelix - HLC - Seismic

Captain Jonus - Seismic

Soontir Fel - PTL

99 points

Trelix and Jonus to fly together blasting away and breaking up formations.

Fel outflanking.

Thoughts?

You might consider giving Jonus Veteran Instincts. That way, you can better decide when to drop that charge.

I was thinking of doing exactly that. I'm not sure how valuable the initiative bid will be on this list anyway.

Flaick - interesting list. I was thinking of something similar but went with Fel as a pure flanker rather than having TIEs as wingmen. I figure the list needs the damage output more than it needs ablative tanking from the TIEs.

Personally Im quite fond of ms scarlet flying my firespray and not a big fan of the HLC on a firespray, I think you would be better of with a lamda bringing the HLC so you can free up the firespray to fire out its rear arc or K-turn when needed.

You should also try expert handling on a firespray it makes them so mobile and unpredictable, I think that is key in a tourney.

Id drop the squint and bring some academy ties to cover the rear of the shuttle to make up for its brick style of flying.

Ms scarlet (38) + EH (2)

OGP (21) + HLC (7)

2 Academy ties (24)

8 points left for crew / upgrades

I don't have a shuttle so that's not an option.

I got a few practice games in with the squadron last night and it performed very well.

The first game was against a slightly quirky rebel list with Jan Ors, plus AXX.

Jan buffed an X to shred the bomber down to a single HP early on so I sacrificed it in a double bomb drop which caused 4 or 5 HP worth of damage and softened them up enough for the HLC to finish them off.

The second was against an imperial list with Howl, Carnor, Lorrir and a couple of other TIEs.

Again he tried to focus down Jonus but left him on 2HP. The way our ships were arranged made it very likely that he was going to overshoot me in a big wedge so I went for the double drop again and managed to land 2 hits on each and every single one of his ships. After that it was just mopping up without me losing a single ship.

So far:

Love - double seismic charges. Even when your opponent knows they're coming they can be extremely difficult to avoid.

Like - HLC with Trelix and Jonus. The lack of range 1 shooting hurts a little and I still manage to whiff a few rolls even with the rerolls, but on the occasions it does hit it is usually fairly spectacular.

Meh - I don't think I need to spend so many points on the interceptor. Backstabber could work equally well giving me a chunk of points for some extra ordnance for Jonus, or a crew member for Trelix (or both).
