So, what would you do with a dual Punisher list?

I love the Tie Punisher, and can't wait to pick it up. I've been trying to decide what I want to pair with, when I finally thought, why not just do another Punisher?

PUNISHING ONES

100 points


PILOTS

“Deathrain” (48)
TIE Punisher (26), Advanced Sensors (3), Extra Munitions (2), Ion Torpedoes (5), Ion Pulse Missiles (3), Cluster Mines (4), Conner Net (4), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

“Redline” (52)
TIE Punisher (27), Advanced Sensors (3), Ion Torpedoes (5), Extra Munitions (2), Ion Pulse Missiles (3), Advanced Homing Missiles (3), Cluster Mines (4), Conner Net (4), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

Hardly a competitive list by any means, but I feel like it should be maneuverable enough to get around and get some good shots off. There are a lot of things you can do with it, and you have enough points to be able to prepare for just about any list you find, so what are your ideas?

I just don't think it's a good idea. It's a fun idea. Fun is always at least kinda good.

In the end you just can't get off enough ordnance to justify costs. It will be a glorious burn down one way or the other.

What I would do with a dual Punisher list? Drop missiles and torpedoes from Deathrain and bombs and mines from Redline to add a third ship.

I made this one a while ago. There are some tweaks to be made, for example the Scimitar could be an AC Tempest, Deathrain wouldn't mind an all mine loadout and Experimental Interface and Redline could trade his Autothrusters for TIE mk2 to free up points. I haven't put it on the table yet, because I am figuring out how to deal with TLT spam at the moment and this list would just melt to that (although Autothrusters might save me from bad luck when my opponent has a crappy attack roll). I am kind of looking forward to trying out Redline, though, she looks like a lot of fun.

Try those two with a doom shuttle.
