Tie bombers and new Ordnance

By generalchaos34, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Im toying around with the new ordnance in the game and was wondering what you guys thought of this 4 Bomber list! I havent had a chance to try it but I think it could go well with the A Homing missiles as an opener (or a corran killer) then follow up with plasma to bring everything else down.

Captain Jonus (25) TIE Bomber (22), Squad Leader (2), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

Scimitar Squadron Pilot (25) x 3 TIE Bomber (16), Extra Munitions (2), Plasma Torpedoes (3), Advanced Homing Missiles (3), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

Personally, I'm a huge fan of:

You have two adv. torps in all their wonderful glory that can now be fired up to range 2. PTL isn't all that great for a TIE Bomber, but it allows Rhymer to get the full use out of them, which I always had trouble with before (target lock and focus for actions). Adv. Homing Missiles are good, cheap, and can now be fired at any range. The Shield Upgrade makes the shieldless bomber a little more survivable. All that said, I have yet to field a successful 100 point team around him. Still trying new ideas.

P.S. I love the TIE MkII upgrade idea on a bomber. Might help with my stress from PTL problem once I purchase my Punisher set.
