Hello,

I've dabbled in X-wing casually but I'm looking to start attending Tournaments. Fingers crossed I'll be attending the Sheffield Store Championship in March, provided I get the time off work. I normally fly a TIE Swarm but I've become a bit bored with it so I'd like some comments and critique on this list:

Darth Vader TIE-A (29)

Cluster Missiles (4)

Soontir Fel TIE-I (27)

Push the Limit (3)

"Whisper" TIE-P (32)

Fire Control System (2)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Stygium Particle Accelerator (2)

Whilst writing it I was trying to get each ship to perform multiple actions per turn so that I can change the play style of the list mid-game. Whisper obviously gets all the goodies just for hitting and the free evade is pretty tasty. Soontir is the glass hammer of the force and is really the Achilles heel but hopefully he'll take down some ships before going down. Vader is in there for the rule of cool and can double up his actions so fits what I was the force to do.

I'm going to try and get a few practice games in beforehand with the list as this is just theory at the moment.

How do you think it will compare to other lists?

Is it a case of 'too many eggs in one basket'?

How can it be improved?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I'll be the first person to tell you that Advanced Cloaking Device is a MUST HAVE on Whisper. Just pretend other modifications don't exist for her.

Thanks, I've just been told that via the Facebook group as well

You'll have to drop the CM to fit ACD, but its a must on Whisper. With the two extra points, you can always run Lone Wolf on Vader if you have it. Or maybe a Tactician on the Phantom. ATs on Soontir if you can get a StarViper.

It will be a pretty unforgiving squad to fly, but quite a bit of fun.

Although it hurts damage by taking away the big single shoot you might try Engine Upgrade on Vader instead of the Cluster. On Whisper you've already heard to add the ACD which requires 2 more points, or the FCS when nothing else is available.

drop the vader tie advanced and take a lambda with vader crew card. Also on soontir take stealth device and if scum comes out before your tourney autothrusters. On whisper for crew card you'll either want rebel captive or gunner. I'd say rebel captive.

I agree ACD is a no brainer for whisper add VI and she's good to go. FCS etc are just gravy imo. I run soontir he's the first ship I put into my squad hardly an Achilles heel especially with ATs add stealth to that and soontir has potentially 5 evade dice plus 2 evade tokens a turn.

I would also drop the advanced for a shuttle. yorr for stress help or OGP and vader.

A mini swarm would also work well with ur list even though u don't want to use swarms
