Just wrote an article about this stuff. Can't wait to try out the Black Squadron list.

Dark Curse is my favorite.

I'd probably do Determination on Mauler over any other EPT. He's already expensive for a TIE, and his ability makes him a likely early target to kill before he can get into Range 1.

True. But now Vader might be the enemy #1. So if Mauler survives the first combat phase, he will likely be in range 1 in the following round. Determination NEVER gave me anything. Usually I use this on Howlrunner + Hull upgrade. I've never drawn a pilot crit, though.

Very cool article! *thumbs up*

This list looks fun too

Vader

-Expose

-shield upgrade

BSP

-Ruthlesso

BSP

-Ruthless

Howlrunner

-Swarm Tactics

I think I also had hull upgrades on the ties

Howlrunner isn't a Black Squadron pilot

This list looks fun too

Vader

-Ruthlesso

Howlrunner

Why no title or system on Vader... ATC is gonna be best on him, and you probably want predator on him for the reroll. EU as well for moving around.

I do not own EU and this is for what is currently available.

To make it pure I think I am liking adding another BSP or possibly Dark Curse or Mauler Mithell

Curious about creating effective fluff lists with Vader + buff and Black Squadron members (named and generics).

Darth Vader (32)

TIE Advanced (29), Swarm Tactics (2), Title (0), ATC (1)

Black Squadron Pilot (17)

TIE Fighter (14), Predator (3)

Black Squadron Pilot (17)

TIE Fighter (14), Predator (3)

Black Squadron Pilot (17)

TIE Fighter (14), Predator (3)

Black Squadron Pilot (17)

TIE Fighter (14), Predator (3)

Vader let fire a squaddie first, so he might get the crit on a shieldless target.

I'd go for Ruthlessness over Predator.

Darth Vader with TIE x1 and Adv. TC is only 30 points. It boggles the mind.

And... Awesoooooome!!!!!!

Darth Vader - Black Leader (33)

TIE Advanced (29), Predator (3), TIE/x1 (0), Advanced Targeting Computer (1)

Mauler Mithel - Black 2 - DS-61-2 (20)

Predator (3)

Backstabber - Black 3 - DS-61-3 (16)

Dark Curse - Black 4 - DS-61-4 (16)

Black Squadron Pilot (15)

Draw Their Fire (1)

Minor modification to Vikings list.

Fluffy yet effecive.

I'd even play this on a tournament

Love it. This is how I play with my friends. Not tournament winning lists but movie lists with plenty of fluff and canon.

DAT...

Everything else is 40K-CRAP-Gottah-WIN!

DIE... already!

Hey, Obsidian Squadron still is effective. Even in current meta.

Its my actual tournament squad ... even while I own all the new and cool stuff ^^

I just can't deny the look of 7 Ties flying in close formation.

I think I never spent so many likes within one thread

To present Starkillers many glorious lists with a thematic opponent:

X-Wing (37)

Luke Skywalker (28)

Deadeye (1)

R2-D2 (4)

Proton Torpedoes (4)

X-Wing (33)

Jek Porkins (26)

R5-D8 (3)

Proton Torpedoes (4)

X-Wing (30)

Biggs Darklighter (25)

R2 Astromech (1)

Proton Torpedoes (4)

Edited 2: After reading The Jodo Cast I changed Luke´s EPT to Deadeye instead of Adrenaline Rush

Great article by the way!

I'd love to meet you on the field of glory ... the Death Star surface

Threads where i see people playing nicely themes lists really make me happy.

Bringing back the fun with threads like this and the good comes out of us. Star Wars X-Wing miniatures makes us all win.

I'm really glad this thread was made.

Good. Our first catch of the day.

It s a trap!

(I couldnt resist that one in such a thematic thread )

Imperial Officer: We count 3 Rebel ships, Lord Vader, but they're so small they're avoiding our turbo lasers!

Darth Vader: We'll have to destroy them ship to ship. Get the crews to their fighters.
