I posted this list on my 3x BH thread but am reposting here for discussion:

[100pts]

Bounty Hunter + Recon Specialist (36)

Bounty Hunter + Recon Specialist (36)

Omicron Group Shuttle + Advanced Sensors + Engine Upgrade (28)

The shuttlebus will operate as a flanker and occasional blocker. Its really the sacrificial lamb in this squad but if it gets close to destruction early game it can boost away and get out of trouble or lead enemy ships away from the Bounty Hunters.

setup will put the hipposhuttlemus on one side and the bounty hunters close together, with one facing east/west to allow a 2 sharp turn as its first move to let in slipstream in behind the lead BH - this is dependent on asteroid placement of course and its possible they will just fly side by side initially but i think the slipstream approach allows easier flying thru the asteroid field and will lead to less bumping/loss of actions should they get in each others way.

Recon specialist could be considered a controversial choice and in all honesty i might rejig those 6pts before tomorrow but i like how the double focus can give u a boost on defense, esp at long range where u r rolling 3 green dice to for each enemy attack.

what could those 6pts be used for?

upgrade a BH to Kath Scarlet?

rebel captive/recon specialist?

2x seismic charge/+2pts for something else?

upgrade the omicron to capt yorr with rebel captive?

thoughts?

Why wouldn't wave 4 be allowed? FFG stated in the last update that as soon as a wave is released it is allowed to be used.

I have ran a similar list to this but had gunners on the BH and 2 academy ties instead of the shuttle. Was a lot of fun.

It's not allowed because it's not allowed. If it's not an official tournament (store championship, regional, etc) the TO can set the rules how he likes it.

Also, that whole New Zealand thing Aminar mentioned.

I also like the look of this variation:

[100pts]

Omicron + Vader (24)

Bounty Hunter (33)

Kath Scarlet + Expert Handling + Rebel Captive (43)

1 Ion cannon on the BH, 1 Rebel Captive on the other BH

or 3 Tacticians

or 2 Seismics and one tactician on the shuttle

or 2 Stealths on the BH (may help with their lower PS)

or 3 APL

Needless to say 6 points gives you a lot to work with

Yeah its true, im in NZ. wave 4 has only just reached us and we are running a 'better late than never' Assault on Imdaar event. The prizes r the wave4 ships and they can be used in the final game as per the Assault on Imdaar tournament rules.

Living in New Zealand is awesome but sometimes I wish we were a little closer to the action in terms of getting stock for games

Yes it is.

cant use it. not allowed.

I flew against something similar recently at regionals. I almost lost due to its tankiness. I got extremely lucky and rolled 6 evades to 6 huts against Soontir keeping him alive allowing me to win by points (I took out the shuttle). Everyone will gun for the shuttle first so I would recommend stalling first round with it holding it back getting bounties to the flanking position. Anti pursuit lasers aren't my favorite but could be useful on the shuttle? Good luck! Let us know how you do!

hmm. im going through the "what if i play this?" phase at the moment and am second guessing what i want to play.

even considering a shuttleless version that uses...
