Imp Cloak Team

By emmjay, in X-Wing

This is a 100 point group that I have been using for a while. Let me know what you think.

2x Sigma Squadron Pilot

-Stygium Particle Accelerator

- Recon Specialist

Onyx Squadron Pilot

-Cluster Missiles

-Ion Cannon

-Munitions Failsafe

Why I have what I have:

Tie Defender - I put the missiles and failsafe in so that the Tie can (with a little bit of luck) be able to take out one entire enemy - if not damage it so that it dies the next round. The Ion Cannon help "controls" where the enemy goes.

The Tie Phantoms

With the accelerator on it when I decloak to attack I get the free evade, then with Recon specialist I get two focus tokens (for attack and defense) .

How I like to play it:

Vs. a Swarm (over 4 ships) - I set the Defender in the left (or right) center of the play area - depending on where the other team goes) and then both Phantoms goes to the far side edge. The defender goes in for the attack and the Phantoms go in to flank. The enemy either swarms each group or splits their forces. Decloak, strike, cloak and use the defender to break up the enemy formation - and use its white K turn to strike the enemy in the rear without getting hit itself.

Vs. a small group - Same basic setup idea vs a swarm, but put the defender on one side (farther to one side) and the phantoms on the other side. Force the enemy commit to one course of action and control the battlefield.

Above all else, keep those phantoms cloaked as much as possible to double their evade dice.

I tried 2 phantoms and Brath with Auto did not go well for me both times I tried it let me know how you go I would love to see a list like this work

I tried

2x Sigma Squadron Pilot
-Stygium Particle Accelerator
Howlrunner
Omicron Shuttle
-Fleet Officer
Won 1st game, lost next two though it was against the same opponent, Nice list just first time flying phantoms and it showed

I have had a lot of success with this list.
