150 Pt Imperial List Review

By xXWarsmithXx, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I would like some advice on this list for an upcoming tournament. It will be 150 points played on a 3' x 3' table area, I plan on taking three debris fields for my obstacles.

The list:

Colonel Vessery [Heavy Laser Cannon, Ruthlessness] (45)

Omicron Group Pilot [Darth Vader] (24)

Omicron Group Pilot [Anti-Pursuit Lasers] (23)

Tempest Squadron Pilot (21)

Tempest Squadron Pilot (21)

Backstabber (16)

I was also considering dropping one of the tempest squadron pilots and backstabber and instead putting in three academy pilots. How many target locks does Colonel Vessery need on the battlefield? I don't want to have a field overly saturated with target locks.

I might be tempted to drop the APL OGP. It'll clog up the field and might hurt you more than you intended.

Then fill the Advanceds out with Shield Upgrades and Prockets.

My intent with the APL OGP is that it will clog up the field and that 150 points there will be more targets for the lambdas to shoot at. For the opening game I can easily keep my shuttles in place on my side using the defender and advanced, such that when my opponent does engage there won't be room to k-turn behind me. Middlegame the plan for the shuttles is to go slow and force the opponent to either attack the shuttles or try to get behind. If they go behind I will use self bumping and send my ties after them to flush them out. The endgame I want to maximize use of the defender and backstabber, and hopefully my two tie advanced will still be around. Since the raider isn't out I cannot use the advanced title, which means that the advanced are probably the least effective use of points.
