Epic Aggressors

By jkokura, in X-Wing

I'm working on a 200 point Epic Aggressors list. I don't have 4 of the ships, just 2, but I figure if I'm going to try it out, I'll probably be able to borrow the extras.

How would you kit out all 4 IGs? So far I'm at 192 points, and I haven't put an EPT on any of them.

I wouldn't even bring A, honestly. He's not bringing that much to the table, and I'd rather save the 50~ points.

How is he not bringing anything to the table? He has all the abilities b, c and d would have it you just ran the three of them, plus his own ability which he then grants to the others.

I honestly have no idea how you came to that conclusion.

I would run that with 94 points of whatever else you'd like. Maybe a z swarm personally.

A is the least likely to be targeted so it's dtf from b and d. c can flank and use lone wolf to survive longer.

Also d shoots last

In a 200 point format, A is one of the more valuable contributors. He brings longevity to the team. Especially if you wind up facing 200 pts. worth of TIE Fighters or TIE Interceptors.

Edit: Oh and to answer the OP, Predator is really the best EPT to put on an Aggressor. PTL is wasted (Aggressors are too often stressed or bumped to make use of it).

I thought mostly about running them mirror. That way, the only thing I have to remember to do differently is simply when one gets eliminated, I no longer have that ability on the others.

I agree, A is the last one I'd include, but when you add him last it makes things powerful. That means that anytime you eliminate anything (Tie Fighters die easily...) you recover a shield. You can usually just pick which ship you want to do the death dealing too, because they're all the same PS.

Here's my version so far:

- Advanced Sensors

- Mangler Cannon

- Hot Shot Blaster

- Autothrusters

- IG-2000

I'd really like to put Predator on all of them actually. That was my first choice, but only having 3 of the cards made me think that might end up being difficult, but after all it's only theory because I only own 2 aggressors.
