So. My first store championship is comming up soon. How do you think this list will do?

shuttle int oicunn (100/100)

===========================

Lambda-class Shuttle: Captain Yorr (24 + 3)

+ Darth Vader (3)

TIE Interceptor: Saber Squadron Pilot (21 + 3)

+ Push the Limit (3)

VT-49 Decimator: Captain Oicunn (42 + 7)

+ Rebel captive (3)

+ Dauntless (2)

+ Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)

It worked when playtesting. Yorr slowrolls, soaks up stress and uses Vader untill he dies. Oicunn does what Oicunn does and the intercepter flanks. Not sure about rebel captive though. Perhaps better with Mara Jade? All advice is welcomme.

The real problem with this list is asteroids. Not sure what the best placement is. Corners?

Oicunn does what Oicunn does and the intercepter flanks. Not sure about rebel captive though. Perhaps better with Mara Jade? All advice is welcomme.

Do you mean you want to pair Rebel Captive and Mara Jade? If so, just remember Mara doesn't trigger until the end of the Combat Phase, and won't double-stress someone who already took stress from Rebel Captive.

If you're using Oicunn as a battering ram, you might get some redundancy going on if he's right in the middle of all the enemy ships, as they would have taken stress from Mara Jade anyways.

If you mean that you're thinking of taking Mara instead of the Captive, that's the play I'd back with this list, since your goal is to put the Decimator dead-centre of your opponent's ships.

The trick will be making sure you have the Interceptor and Shuttle set up to capitalize on that parking lot to score some shots on a ship that bumps into Oicunn.

I don't actually like APL Oicunn unless your opponent is terribly unlucky (I have run Cracken aground on literally nothing but Oicuun ram + APL, which ceaselessly rolled hits until the poor bugger died)

People tend to gravitate around Oicunn's ability, and while that is the reason to play him (or any decimator, imo, buggers are far too boring otherwise) it's not how you're going to get the most out of him. The ability is one automatic damage at the cost of some potentially poor positioning for a fat turret, so if you're not using it on the most vulnerable targets (low health, high agility ships) you're generally better off just not using it. Lumping APL on top of that really skews oicuun into that mentality.

A much more efficient use of points would be either Ysanne or Engine upgrade depending on the content of the local meta. You can get them by knocking Yorr down to an OP. Dauntless I believe can be negated by green maneuvers and if the Interceptor's flanking while Yorr slow rolls, you have no guarantees that his ability will come into play. All in all, he's the thing I'd cut first.

The thing is that I really like having all ships the same Pilot Skill. In the opening rounds I trye to run Yorr just behind Oicunn. And that's hard to do if he moves first. But I will try with your suggestions before the tournament.

I was thinking of switching Rebel Captive for Mara Jade. Depends on the meta I'm up against. This is in Sweden but I think it will be many 2 ship lists and then RC will be much more effective. And it's the best counter I can come up with against phantoms except high PS. And I don't want to go down that road.

That's a fair call; when I run a Phantom/Decimator list, Rebel Captive wrecks my day a little because my Whisper has to shoot before my Chiraneau, and a stressed Phantom is usually a dead Phantom.

As you said, decisions like that can come down to your local meta and if you're that tapped into it, adapting to what you know the locals are running is a good way to go.

Alright. After much thinking and some more playtesting I've decided to change things up a bit. The ships are the same but with different pilots.

This is the list i will (most likely) take.

VT-49 decimator: patrol leader 40pts + rebel captive 3pts

Shuttle: OG pilot 21pts + Vader3pts

Interceptor: Soontir Fel 27pts+ PTL 3pts + hull uppgrade 3 pts.

Total 100pts.

I realised that I love Fel too much to leave him at home. Let's just hope the dice gods is with me on Sunday.

So. It went really well. Ended up fifth of 28 in the swiss tournament. And then I won the quarter final match. But in the semi I lost.

The two matches I lost was against the player who ended up winning the whole championship.

He flew a BBBX list. With FCS on the Bs. Can't remember the rest.
