TIE Hulk (Large based ship)-

The TIE Hulk has two turrets on it. One turret is forward facing and one is rear facing. However, due to the side foils both turrets are limited to a standard forward arc and a similar rear arc. The rear turret may only fire in the rear arc and the front turret may only fire in the forward arc. Both arcs are considered primary arcs for all in game mechanics. Each of these turrets can function as a standard 3 die attack or can be mounted with a cannon. If a turret is mounted with a cannon all attacks on that arc may only use the mounted cannon.

General Greivous

PS 8

When Grievous has a target in both arcs he may choose one target in each arc and attack both targets. In the deal damage step Greivous must chose one target with which to complete his attack. The other target will receive all tokens back and suffer no damage.

*I fully understand that this ship has not appeared in the EU and is not cannon. It is purely fictional for fun. I also understand Grevious was killed before the X Wing minis timeline. Even so I couldn't think of anyone more fun or appropriate to pilot this ship.

No more drugs for ^that man...

The generic belongs to Gamma Ray Squadron. ;)

I'd still like to see a picture of it.

It should also have the S.M.A.S.H action. (same as a S.L.A.M action but with ramming ability!)

I made a heavy TIE design about 15 or so years ago with a similar rear turret. It was a Torpedo Boat, tho, and had at least 3 crew, and carried a massive amount of proton torpedoes. I wonder how the mechanic would work mounting cannon upgrades for the turrets, a title similar to the Outrider? Sounds very expensive, double HLC are 14 points just to have 4 dice in front and rear arcs, that's a whole Black squadron TIE!

Yeah, that was kind of my thought. If you want to spend a ton of points flying two HLCs you could but it's gonna be really expensive. But there could be some fun combos with the cannons. Ionize in the front then fly past and HLC from the rear arc or vice versa.

If you're going to waste my time with "what-if" game components, at least provide a picture! :P

Well since the picture is only in my head that's gonna be a little challenging.

If the ship isn't green I'm not interested. :P

Buy a pencil and some paper.

:P

So it would look like this?

Just give it a larger base and you got the TIE hulk. This TIE had took one too many steroid injections.

Of course the color is 100% up to you. ;)

Would a Royal Guard version be the TIE Red Hulk?

If Juno Eclipse is driving, is it the TIE She Hulk?

Whatever you are on. ...pass it around!

So whats a Grey Hulk

Also who is the good guy side of Red Hulk
