I always run swarms or squints lists with great results, especially with Soontir, Turr and 3 AP, but recently I've decided to give the "tanky" ships a try. I've come up with these two lists and since I'm new to list with fiew pieces, I ask your opinion.

List 1

Rex 37

- HLC 7

- VI 1

- HU 3

Krassis 36

- HLC

- Mercenary copilot 2

- Stealth device 3

Total 96 ; leaving some points for extras.

List 2

Rex 37

- HLC 7

- VI 1

Howlrunner 18

3x AP 36

Total 99

List 3

Delta sq. 30

Delta sq. 30

Whisper 32

- VI 1

- ACD 4

- FCS 2

Total 99

Any suggestions?

Thanks

why not upgrade krassis to kath+predatoror VI?

If this is just for fun with friends, then any of those lists should be fine, although I think you got the hull and stealth mixed up in the first list

Competitively speaking, I think only the 2nd list would give you any shot at doing well in a tourney.

My Slave Defender list is:

Boba Fett w/ VI, HLC, recon spec. & engine up. (and slave 1 title for flavour)

Rex w/ Lone Wolf & HLC

Its fun to fly - boba is a real pain for phantoms and Rex is surprisingly hard to kill with Lone Wolf (just keep your ships away from each other). But I'd never take it to a tourney. Its not durable enough to out-tank a 'fat' whatever list and it can only handle swarms if you manage to trick your opponent into getting hung up on asteroids. It does well against other 2-3 ship elite builds, however.

mine is similar

many a time i have shot the flachette in round one only to miss....the stress still triggers then gunner for main weapon for a hit or two.

I think you got the hull and stealth mixed up in the first list

you're right.

Thanks for your suggestion.

As you pointedout, these lists are just for fun. I'm a bit tired to play eyeballs and squints every tuesday

Similar to what I've been running, but I like to have an Ion Cannon in the squad and put Predator on Rex. I also like the Tactican for dealing stress.

I had a lot of fun flying Rexler + Lone Wolf + HLC + Stealth. He absolutely tore apart the decimator.

I took Boba + Lone Wolf + Recon Spec + EU + Seismic to a tournament recently. He did pretty well too.

What did you pair Rexlar with?

I was planning to try one of these lists at a store championship. Am I going to get crushed?

Rex +VI

Krass + HLC, tactician

Black Squad + ruthlessness

Or

Rex +VI, HLC

Kris +HLC

Academy

Not that different than the OPs lists except I tried to work in a third ship

I've run lists similar to this but I took Kath with VI tactician n a shield upgrade n Rex with hlc predator n a hull upgrade

I thinking of running a decked out Krassis with weapons engineer, and vessery with ion everything jus for fun heh
