Imperial lists without the big guys

By Rolospiker, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey There

I have nearly all of each X wing wave but one thing I don't have is the Raider or the Gozanti. This means I don't have Palpatine or Kallis to beef my favored Imperial squads up.
Alot of the top tier squads seem to use these guys but what are options when you don't have them?

With a tournament upcoming I need something that outputs plenty of damage (Redline would be nice to incorporate) with stuff that will survive the initial torpedo attack or Ghost/blaster shenanigans.

I am liking the Inquisitor, Omega L and have also played around with shuttles/ laser/ baffles just for hps.

Any suggestions?

Look at nathan eides list for hoth open and switch maybe a little around and you'll probably be fine. ;)

If you want to incorporate Redline and Inquisitor you could try something like:

31 points

The Inquisitor

Push the Limit

TIE/v1
Autothrusters

35 points

“Redline”

Fire-Control System

Extra Munitions

Cluster Missiles

Guidance Chips

17 points
Sienar Test Pilot #1
TIE/v1
17 points
Sienar Test Pilot #2
TIE/v1

even better is:

Redline w/ FCS, EM, clusters, plasma & chips = 38

Inquisitor w/ title, PTL & thrusters = 31

2 black squadies w/ crack = 15 x 2

99

Just threw this together, seems very fun-

Omega Leader

--Juke

--Comms Relay

(26)

Inquisitor

--PTL

--Title

--Thrusters

(31)

Redline

--FCS

--Extra Munitions

--Plasmas

--Clusters

--Chips

(38)

That leaves you five points for an initiative bid, Prockets on the Inquisitor, Stealth Device on Omega, or another munition/bomb on Redline.

Trip Aces FTW.

Soontir, OL, Inquisitor

Whisper, OL, Carnor

Whisper, OL, Inquisitor

etc.

You may spot a theme here, and it's OL. OL is awesome. OL and Inquisitor together fully tricked out is 60 points, and 40 is a lot of points to play with for your third ace.

And that's discounting the massive wealth of options that will arrive when Imperial Veterans drops. I'm so looking forward to that...
