Tie Fighter Rat Pack

By heychadwick, in X-Wing Squad Lists

First off, I've always hated the "rat pack" term used for those old entertainers from before my time. Still, I couldn't think of a better naming convention.

All these pilots can boost their attacks by 1. One of the weaknesses of Tie Fighters is that they are only 1 attack die. This helps them become more viable. Sure, perhaps not the most uber optimal list, but sure to be a fun list.

Zeta Leader w/ Crack Shot

Scourge

Backstabber

Mauler Mithel

The Inquisitor w/ V1, Autothrusters, and VI

I made the same list the other day! An upgrade or two might have been moved around, but I like this idea, too. I don't think I'll play it for league any time soon, or ever, but I think it looks fun to mess around with. I have another called "The Furious Five" (maybe a Kung Fu Panda reference) with 5 PS5 pilots. Also silly, not competitive, lol.

Personally I would replace Backstabber with Wampa and spend the extra two points on Crack Shots for Scourge and Mauler.

I like Backstabber, but Wampa & 2 Crack Shots seems like better value.

If you're taking wampa and have two points, maybe consider a Targeting computer?

Part of the point, though, is to use Tie Fighters that boost the native 2 attack die. Wampa doesn't and Backstabber does. Also, I'm not sure if Wampa is a better use there. I'd like Crackshot on others, but having another Tie with boosted red dice is a good thing.

If I do take a break from my Tie Bomber practice, I will have to trade out the Inquisitor for someone else in that.
