Okay, fine: there is a little bit of shields. Go cry about it.


I've been having a much more entertaining time with this list than I thought I would; Oicunn is certainly no Chirneau, but he gets it done in a pinch. Darth Vader is really, really powerful, despite the sub par dial: if he gets an advantageous position on someone at around range 2, it's really difficult for them to do anything about it other than try to K-turn for a re-engagement. Gundark has proven to be a surprisingly good, cheap flanker.

I would replace gundark with Backstabber or Dark Curse (probably Backstabber). Just a superior flanker in general. Other than that, the list looks really interesting.

I was looking at Backstabber or Mithel, but at the end of the day I've found that I prefer the situational crit over the situational extra die, and the difference between PS5, PS6 & PS7 isn't that significant given that the TIE supposed to be picking off rookies for most of the match anyway.
