I played against a good IG88B, Palob, Leeachos list in the TC Open tournament. He went 3-0 in Swiss, beating me round 1 with a Palob that was incredibly hard to hit (15 focus tokens on 3 green dice is tough to get through without lucky reds). I only knocked him out of elimination with a lucky 1 round kill of Palob with 2 range 1 shots and 1 range 3 shot from 2xBH+Tact and Soontir. Especially lucky that my non AT Soontir survived a 3 Dice Blaster Turret, 4 dice HLC, and range 3 Leeachos shot with only 1-2 tokens.I think he also got runner up at either a large Store Champ event or modest sized Australian Regional, I forget which one, and I can't remember the whole list, but could probably piece it together.

Was it something like this:Palob Godalhi (20)Veteran Instincts (1)Blaster Turret (4)Recon Specialist (3)Moldy Crow (3) Kaa'To Leeachos (15)Bodyguard (2) IG-88B (36)Opportunist (4)Fire-Control System (2)Heavy Laser Cannon (7) Total: 97 View in Yet Another Squad Builder Palob strips tokens, shoots, hopefully stripping more tokens, IG shoots, if the target is token free he can activate opportunist, if not shoots with 3 AD, if he misses he can fire the HLC, using opportunist assuming the target is token free after all of that. Leechos keeps Palob alive.You could theoretically be dropping a 5 AD HLC and a TL if you use IG-88B's ability and opportunist on the second shot.

His list had VI on IG88B, as well as Autothrusters. I also think Leeachos had a hull upgrade. That brings points up to 99.

I also think he moved to Advanced Sensors after the tournament, finding that it made his IG88 a better end game piece and/or more unpredictable and/or more easily able to travel in a mild formation by using Advanced Sensors to bump into his own ships and what not.

How bout this:

Palob, Title, Ion Cannon, Bodyguard

Serissu, Elusiveness

Laetin, Title, Ion Cannon

Graz the Hunter

May the fickle green dice be ever in your favor with those modifications and combinations

Ohhh, Oppurtunist makes it look fun!

I added AT after I posted it, so the build works out to 99 points so you also have a 1 point initiative bid and IG is dodgier. Also if Palob goes down Leechos can still be the body guard for IG giving him 4 evade dice to go with his potential 4 or 5 AD.
