Lambda with TIE micro swarm and Ace

By bubblepopmei, in X-Wing

I have a space cow on the way. I couldn't resist the aesthetic appeal of consistent Imperial ships. I'm especially interested in the abilities of Yorr and Jendon. Mock up of the potential list, below.

Colonel Jendon

Soontir Fel w/ Ptl

Howlrunner

Academy x2

I wish I could get the shuttle title in there but the points are tight. Yorr frees up some points and offers the Baron a respite from stress. Same list with Yorr and I give the Baron targeting computer.

Can a ship receive Jendon's target lock without the action bar for it?

What do you think about this list?

Yes. Yes you can.

You're under-spent by 7 points, though. Give Jendon ST-321 as 3 of those.

Yorr frees up some points and offers the Baron a respite from stress. Same list with Yorr and I give the Baron targeting computer.

I think you are forgetting the ruling on that: Yorr can take the Stress from PtL but then Fel doesn't get his free Focus (see FAQ, p. 7)

Oh I didn't know that. Goodness, Yorr and Fel don't play nice. Thanks for sharing that.

Yorr can take the stress from his Koiogran to let him Push the Limit on his own terms :D

Could do!

Conversely, I could swap the Baron for Turr Phennir and swap an Academy for Backstabber.

I like turr so much better than fel. The ability to roll then boost (with ptl) after you attack is so frustrating to your opponent

This looks like a cool list. Have you read Sable's article on Shuttles? It has some good builds.

That said, as much as I want Jendon to work, he never seems to. The OGP is amazing for the points though. I mean, it costs as much as a rookie X-Wing. That's pretty amazing for something with just under twice the durability.

This is one of my favorite archetypes for Imperial.

I've had success with the Following:

3x Academy

OGP w/Advanced Sensors, Engine, HLC

Royal Guard w/ PTL, Shield

Additionally the following has proven strong as well:

Academy Pilot (12)
Academy Pilot (12)
Backstabber (16)
Omicron Group Pilot (28)
Lambda-Class Shuttle (21), Advanced Sensors (3), Engine Upgrade (4)
Royal Guard Pilot (32)
TIE Interceptor (22), Push the Limit (3), Royal Guard TIE (0), Shield Upgrade (4), Hull Upgrade (3)

A friend has been running the following with good results.

Academy Pilot (12)
Academy Pilot (12)
Omicron Group Pilot (24)
Lambda-Class Shuttle (21), Darth Vader (3)
Night Beast (15)
Soontir Fel (37)
TIE Interceptor (27), Royal Guard TIE (0), Push the Limit (3), Shield Upgrade (4), Stealth Device (3)

Wouldn't boost to increase damage then roll to avoid arc be better? :P

FOCUS to increase damage, then boost+roll to avoid arc is better.
