Was just messing around in a squad builder and was looking to get some input on this build.


Colonel Vessery (35)

Veteran Instincts (1)

"Mangler" Cannon (4)


"Omega Leader" (21)

Juke (2)

Comm Relay (3)


"Wampa" (14)


"Howlrunner" (18)

Swarm Tactics (2)


Total: 100




I was at a long debate with myself on who to use for a fourth TIE, and thought "Howlrunner" with Swarm Tactics would work nicely to bump "Wampa" up to an 8, effectively making all of my pilots PS8 for the combat phase. Of course Colonel Vessery and "Omega Leader" work great together, and I like throwing the "Mangler" Cannon on Vessery. I don't have "Wampa" yet, but I've been tempted to grab the expansion so I can get him.

Personally, I think I'd drop the Mangler Cannon to upgrade Wampa to a Omega Squadron TIE/fo. In your list you've only got one TIE/fo to provide target locks to activate Vessery's ability. If you're set on using Wampa I'd consider swapping Vessery for Rexler Brath with Predator (he's also 40pts!).

The Rexler Brath swap seems like a really good idea actually. Might have to give that a go.
