I pretty much play Rebels, but am looking at Imperials as well. I do happen to have quite a few ships already, looking around 200pts

Shuttle

Slave 1

Tie Advanced

Phantom

Imperial Aces

Interceptors (2)

Fighters (5)

Just looking for advice on playing this faction as I'm used to 3 shots and shields, not 2 shots, no shields.

Some suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Just start in as you have plenty of options to choose from. You may not be able to do Multiple Firespray, a full TIE Swarm, four Royal Guard Interceptors, or anything using the Decimator or Defender but you can try pretty much everything else.

My thought is that you could run a mini-swarm (4 or 5 TIE Fighters) along with some muscle. The muscle may be more what you are used to playing or it could be a superior arc dodger like Fel or a Phantom.

Check out the 3 TIE interceptor thread I started. Some good ideas there.

You might be able to do a Firespray and a mini swarm of TIE Fighters too, I think that would be interesting at least.

I'll have a look for sure.

Here is my first attempt...lots of ships...potential for bumps along the way I'm sure

197 of 200pts

Academy Pilots- TF (3)

Howlrunner - Swarm Tactics, Hull upgrade

I am looking at another list that will be based around Firespray 31- Krassis Trelix
