So I have 25 points left in an Imperial list ... what to fill it with? The other ships are Interceptors.
- TIE/A with AC and cluster missiles?
- Sigma squadron phantom?
- Doomshuttle?
- Omega Leader and Push the Limit?
- 2x Academy pilots?
- A Scimitar and ordnance?
Doom shuttle is always a good call! Takes some heat away from your interceptors and if you are used to flying the albino space cow it's a great overall ship
A Scimitar and ordnance
I'm thinking the Academy Pilots. You can never go wrong with the TIE swarm in my book
Depends on what you're worried about during playtesting, hard to go wrong with a doomshuttle though, plus it gives your interceptors an initiative bid I'm sure they'll appreciate.
Doomshuttle is the way to go IMO. I'm assuming you're running something like Carnor Jax or Turr Phennir with Soontir. If that's the case, a strong jousting component will buy you some time against turrets meanwhile even one Vader crit will tip the advantage in your favour when facing off against enemy aces.
Z ace with PTL and HU for 24 is pure joy
one point for init...
Omega Leader seems a bit small for 25 points, doomshuttle would be good for raw offense with the arc dodgers, Tie advanced? Naw. Phantom? I love the phantom, but you already have the interceptors. I'd say go Doomshuttle or 2 Academy Pilots. You can't go wrong with their raw offensive power.
Saber Squad with Autothrusters and Lone Wolf?
I ended up taking Omega Leader with PTL and TIE Mk II (24 points, 1 pt initiative bid). Had fun; he smoked a couple of ships with a range-1 3-crit slap. Won the tournament, but the Interceptors did most of the work.

Grats on the tourney win!

Agreed. My first thought is always more Academy Pilots.
Running with interceptors, you're going to want a target that makes target choice a tough one for the enemy to take some heat off the interceptors. This means something maybe bit easier to hit, something with a threatening quality the enemy can't really ignore, or both.
Doomshuttle
Bomber with ordnance
Advanced with AC and Cluster Missiles
If you could shave 4 points off the interceptors, the shuttle with Emperor is my favorite.
I see you have more than 21 points available, might i suggest a Tie Adv?
