What is the best Tie-Bomber Build. The rules are, the list must include at least two Tie-bombers.
No One wants to except the challenge?
Before wave 7 I had some fun with 3 scimitar each with a proxy mine, 2 academy and Howlrunner. I plan to drop howl to an Academy and add EM to each of the bombers. So many other things still to try though and so few hours in the day.
5x scimis (16)
1x Howl (18)
=98 points.
Run it like a normal swarm and gives you initive. While you lose on a ship and 5 green dice, you gain 12 hull from a 6 black 1 howl swarm list.
5x Scimitar Squadrons, 10 Ion bombs via extra muntions.
Did this really need a separate thread?
I've been using the below list for a while:
Jonus - Swarm Tactics, Shield Upgrade
3x Scimitar - Extra Munitions, Cluster Missiles, Seismic Charges
A fun list that rewards formation flying.
no such thing as "best" never was and never will be unless you define your teams more specifically 
for example, naked Scimitar spam + howlie will spank the crap out of conner Scimitars but would they perform as well against the 2-ship meta?
of course, nothing's "better" than your opponent's face after you've dropped off 5-seismic charges and then 5k away from a joust
still a fantasy for me sadly 
(need 5 bombers...)
3x Scimitar - Seismic Charges, Cluster Missiles, Proton Torpedoes
Jonas - (nothing)
Nothing special, but it's fun.

We may "accept" the challenge, but it takes time to think about it!
I like this:
Captain Jonus (22)
Conner Net (4)
Scimitar Squadron Pilot (16)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
Extra Munitions (2)
Cluster Missiles (4)
Scimitar Squadron Pilot (16)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
Extra Munitions (2)
Cluster Missiles (4)
Academy Pilot (12)
Academy Pilot (12)
Total: 98

Or this:
Colonel Jendon (26)
ST-321 (3)
Captain Jonus (22)
Scimitar Squadron Pilot (16)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
Extra Munitions (2)
Cluster Missiles (4)
Scimitar Squadron Pilot (16)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
Extra Munitions (2)
Cluster Missiles (4)
Total: 99
Playing around with a virtual build, as I don't have any Tie bombers yet.
Captain Jonas
Determination, plasma torpedoes, conner net, munitions failsafe
3x Scimitar Squadron
Plasma torpedoes, proton rockets, munitions failsafe
Major Rhymer-VI,EM,Cluster missles x2
Jonnus-deadeye,Flechette torpedoes x2
AP x3
Depends on the situation.
Just two Bombers? Well let's go with the two best ones since the TIE MkII just came out (and PtL with 3-Bank + Barrel Roll is actually pretty useful!).
PtL Mk II Power
Major Rhymer (25)
—Push the Limit (3)
—Extra Munitions (2)
—Plasma Torpedoes (3)
—Advanced Homing Missiles (3)
—TIE Mk II (1)
Captain Jonus (22)
—Push the Limit (3)
—Extra Munitions (2)
—Cluster Mines (4)
—Flechette Torpedoes (2)
—TIE Mk II (1)
Royal Guard Pilot (22)
—Push the Limit (3)
—Autothrusters (2)
—Royal Guard TIE (0)
—TIE Mk II (1)
There's nothing quite as satisfying as pulling a 3-Bank past someone, dropping Cluster Mines on them, and then being able to PtL Barrel Roll out of their arc. Jonus and Rhymer stick close if Rhymer wants to use his Plasma Torps, otherwise they can function pretty well independently. Rhymer can also use his Adv HMs at Range 1-3 with a TL/F combo too for taking out a VIP B-Wing, E-Wing, or Interceptor (maybe even Vader now that I think of it). Jonus gets the Flechettes just to have some teeth at range after his mines are gone.
And, I mean, who doesn't love a PtL/AT Royal Guard Pilot?
Jonus + XX-23 S-Thread Tracers (2x), Munitions Failsafe
Scimitar + Extra Munitions, Proton Rockets, Ion Torpedoes
Scimitar + Extra Munitions, Proton Rockets, Ion Torpedoes
Scimitar + Extra Munitions, Proton Rockets, Flechette Torpedoes
Step 1:
Take all your TIE Bombers and throw in the trash.
Step 2:
Go and buy TIE Punishers.
Step 3:
Bask in the glory of knowing what it is like to fly Y-Wings as Imperials.
END OF STORY!!!!

What is the best Tie-Bomber Build. The rules are, the list must include at least two Tie-bombers.
Scimitar Squadron (16)+ Assault Missile (5)Gamma Squadron (18)+ Assault Missile (5)+ Seismic Charge (2)Gamma Squadron (18)+ Assault Missile (5)+ Seismic Charge (2)Jonus (22)+ Swam Tactics (2)+ Homing Missile (5)
btw do Punishers count as Bombers or are we talking strictly TIE Bombers only ?

I was strictly counting Tie Bomber. I might do a Punisher challenge later.
Vess+ VI + HLC + MKII
2 scimitar
Nightbeast + Targeting Computer
