Imp Aces for Store Champs - Which List?

By Weirdneal, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm going to run Triple Imperial Aces for Store Champs in a week, but I'm undecided as to the build.

Option 1

Soontir Fel + RGT + PTL + Stealth Device + Autothrusters

Vader + Tie X/1 + ATC + Engine Upgrade + VI

Omega Leader + Comm Relay + Juke + Stealth Device

99 pts

or

Option 2

Soontir Fel + RGT + PTL + Stealth Device + Autothrusters

Vader + TIE/x1 + ATC + Engine Upgrade + VI + Proton Rockets

Omega Leader + Comm Relay + Juke

99pts

I'm leaning towards Option 1 as it'll be more consistent and makes Omega Leader nearly impossible to kill. But I'll have a hard time getting Regen Rebel Aces like Poe and Corran off the board. Option 2 takes care of that with Vader throwing 5 modified dice (TL + Focus) into their face, but makes OL easier to hit.

Thoughts?

I like option 1 personally.

Option 2 for me. PRockets will allow you to simply end high-value targets, so you can (for example) ensure that **** Stresshog only fires once if at all.

I like option 2. Even with only juke and comm relay, OL is still really hard to hit, especially for the ship that has the TL. The extra offense will be worth losing a green dice.

This. I'd take the extra bite of a single 5 dice modified attack over 1+ unreliable green dice. Remove a threat and you'll lean less on your green dice rolls.

Thanks for the replies.

Gonna go with Option 2 for league this week and next to get it ready for the SC.
