A long time ago I won a TIE Interceptor (at the Kessel Run Wave 2 release event!) and have finally gotta round to getting a couple more Imperial ships so I can actually field a 100pt force now.

So I had a go at putting something together.

Being my first ever Imperial list, I'm sure I'm doing it wrong. Any tips?

Also how would you fly this? Turr flank, Vader behind the Fighters in a tight block?

The first thing Vader needs is engine upgrade. He becomes an arc-dodging fiend. Swarm Tactics would be useful if you had a heavy-hitter to use it on, but bringing a 2 attack TIE fighter up to PS9 is not really that threatening. I think a better EPT for Vader would be Predator or Outmanoeuvre (if you have engine). Either of these allows Vader to hurt things a little more. Proton Rockets is also a good idea on him, although its not always easy to get it off because you don't want to end your turn in range 1 of a bunch of enemies unless Vader is out of their arcs.

I think flanking with Turr should work----his ability makes him ideal in this role since even if someone turns their ships to face him, his post-shot BR/boost can possibly avoid firing arcs.

I agree. Down grade your two Obsidians to Academy and then replace Swarm Tactics (on Vader) with EU. One round of Prockets will not be the best use of those three points. I'd then give Vader Predator, Outmaneuver, or Lone Wolf.

Thanks guys.

I can see that Vader with EU and 2 natural actions could really get into (and out of) some crazy places.

I'd like to try the Proton Rockets, I look at them all the time with my A-Wngs, but 5pt is just too expensive.
