Imperial TIE Aces

By HistoryGuy, in X-Wing Squad Lists

There are so many good Imperial TIE Aces now with The Force Awakens expansions so I tried to put one together.

"Omega Leader" (23)

Juke

Howlrunner (21)

Stealth Device

"Omega Ace" (23)

Push the Limit

Mualer Mithel (17)

Backstabber (16)

Total: 100 pts

What do you think?

if Juke, then Relay

non-negotiable; it's awful without action economy allowing further modification (especially in Omega's case as he needs a TL)

SD is utter garbage and is bout infinetly better off as relay for omega. Just accept that Howlie is going to die, and at 18 points she's not much of a loss

I see your point. I'll try it both ways and see what happens.

I'm with Fickle. Omega Leader is much more important than Howlrunner.

If you can, replace Mauler with Scourge. Rolling extra dice at all ranges means he's great at finishing damaged fighters. And anything that lets you stay outside range 1 but still hurt folk is a winner.

Don't have Scourge. I don't have that kind of money to drop on this game.

In that case, I'd legit take Epsilon Ace over Mauler

Mauler's cool and all, but he's super situational. Epsilon Ace is PS 12 (most of the time) and is a FO, which means he's far and away an improvement over your traditional Tie

I see your point. I'll change that out. Good idea.

Zeta Leader is also kinda better than omega ace. Easier to use his ability and he doesn't need push the limit to be effective (so he can run cheaper). Give him crack shot or Veteran instincts and call it a day (wired is also not bad).
