howl, mauler and 3 interceptors swarmy

By nurglez, in X-Wing

I'd personally close the gap asap and unload 4 red at R1 from as many interceptors as possible. Punish the end-game tank and it's 1 agi by melting it to a pile of Correlian slag. You will lose a ship, but the Interceptors will dance circles around those X's in the late game period.

Mistress of the Red Death

I cant take all the credit, I saw a similar list on this forum awhile back, basically designed around having a bunch of interceptors shooting at high ps with swarm tactics. Having used howl with interceptors in an epic game I wanted to see if it could work at 100 points.

Unfortunately I'm not that great at coming up with cool catchy names :(

Howling Murder

Howl's prowlers

Howl's blood

I still haven't played with this list yet, though i did play against a variation of it, howl swarm stealth, mauler swarm, royal, 2 alpha, my opponent kept howl, royal and an alpha together while flying mauler and the second alpha seperately, when I went after one, they flew away while the others flanked me. I managed to win but it was touch and go (I flew 2 blues, biggs, and kyle with recon, moldy crow and blaster turret).

Ok, using your theme.

"Howling for Blood"

Sound good?

I like that :D

So, I'm taking this list to an assault on imdaar tourny tomorrow. And as imbgetting everything ready, I suddenly contemplate swapping the royal guard with ptl for turr.

List: howling for blood 100 pts.

Howlrunner swarm

Mauler swarm

Royal guard ptl/turr

Alpha interceptor

Alpha interceptor

It would bring me up to 8,8,7,7,7. But I'd lose focus and evade on an interceptor for turr's movement shenanigans after he shoots.
