So I just jumped into our local X-Wing community scene at my FLGS and there is a strong rebel meta and, most surprisingly, a tendancy to field epic games on the table. Even the guys don't finish by the end of the night, they are tallying up losses by points.
So humble little me fielding my 100 point squads can expect to pulled into a team or solo epic game. They are playing 300 pt / 5 epic games so I'm already working on designing my own epic builds. And considering the players I have met are less experienced with Imperials (they mostly field rebels on 100 pt games), I'd like to concentrate on Imperial builds.
I've got some ideas: two waves of TIE bombers - the first to soften up the corvette, the second escorted by Yorr with adv. torps and proximity mines. A flanking force of Guard interceptors, a main force of TIE Swarms, and a reserve force of Defenders and Firesprays... maybe Echo thrown in for measure.
What are some of ya'lls favorite Epic builds, rebel or imperial? What works? What doesn't? I guess I'm ready to move beyond the 100 pt. game and go all in.
