An Imperial Epic List

By GambitVega, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I may shed a couple points somewhere to add the emperor. I realize we have a TON of upgrades for the raider that we have yet to see. I'd like to use it as a giant sniper for the first part of the game and let the lambdas be too powerful not to deal with. This is my first attempt at an epic list so feel free to rip it apart.

Epic ==== 294 points Pilots ------

Omicron Group Pilot (32) x 2 Lambda-Class Shuttle (21), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Engine Upgrade (4)

Captain Yorr (35) Lambda-Class Shuttle (24), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Engine Upgrade (4)

Raider-class Corvette (aft) (62) Raider-class Corvette (50), Single Turbolasers (8), Sensor Team (4)

Raider-class Corvette (fore) (62) Raider-class Corvette (50), Single Turbolasers (8), Engineering Team (4)

Rexler Brath (44) TIE Defender (37), Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

Captain Jonus (27) TIE Bomber (22), Assault Missiles (5)

4 able ships and no Vader and or no Decimator?

I didn't go Vader on one because I think HLC is a pretty huge threat and I didn't want to sink too many points. Here is a double decimator list I have been working on also.

==== Epic ==== 300 points Pilots ------

Rear Admiral Chiraneau (53) VT-49 Decimator (46), Expose (4), Rebel Captive (3)

Captain Oicunn (51) VT-49 Decimator (42), Expose (4), Mara Jade (3), Dauntless (2)

Rexler Brath (44) TIE Defender (37), Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

Captain Jonus (28) TIE Bomber (22), Assault Missiles (5), Draw Their Fire (1)

Raider-class Corvette (aft) (62) Raider-class Corvette (50), Single Turbolasers (8), Sensor Team (4)

Raider-class Corvette (fore) (62) Raider-class Corvette (50), Single Turbolasers (8), Engineering Team (4)

Granted I've never flown an Epic game, but i like the Idea of a swarm something like this... I feel like Oicunn at range 1 of a lot of enemy ships in Epic would be a bad thing, he'd melt pretty quickly i would imagine.
