No Huge ship 300 epic

By killakan, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I had my self an idea with this mass hoard of TIE fighters with some backup here is the list please tell me what you think.

That's a lot of TIE fighters! I want to see the look on somebody's face when this is used against them.

"There's... too many of them."

I would drop Countermeasures and Marksmanship to upgrade one of the TIEs to Howlrunner. Rexlar doesn't want Marksmanship because if he lucks out and rolls straight hits (or blanks and hits) he can spend the focus token on his ability. Can't if he used Marksmanship. Countermeasures just isn't going to save you a lot of damage, although shedding the target lock might make it worth having if you're expecting missiles.

For the price of all those Twin Ion Engines, you could upgrade a TIE to Howlrunner or someone else, maybe that TIE/FO that lets everyone shed stress or something. You could also upgrade your Delta to Vessery, and if you drop the upgrades I mentioned in the first paragraph you could upgrade him with something good. Having your speed 2 banks become green isn't that big a deal. You should probably put those on your Defenders, though. They're very helpful on Defenders.

TIE swarms are definitely scary in Epic, but trust me. From experience, I'm telling you that Howlrunner is still amazing and will keep some heat off of your Decimator and Defenders. And if she isn't getting shot at, count every time that her ability results in an extra point of damage and tell your opponent how much damage she helped cause. When I did that she enabled a total of 13 damage that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

I actually think it's a pretty good list, but some of the upgrade choices seemed pretty weak. Just looking to offer some feedback.

Another thing to note is that PS3+ is a good consideration in epic, since it can make a huge difference to shoot first, unlike those green 3 banks, that more often than not won't matter.
