My absolute favorite ship from Wave 8 is the Inquisitor's TIE Advanced Prototype. I wanted to create a Squadron based on an Episode of Star Wars rebels where he and 4 TIE fighters chase down the Ghost. So this is what I came up with:
The Inquisitor (25)
Howlrunner (18)
Mauler Mithel (17)
Black Squadron Pilot (14)
Black Squadron Pilot (14)
Thoughts? Suggestions? Thank you!
First do you have anymore Crack shots? More crack blacks make everyone happier. But if not, then do you have a gozanti? Could make the "chase" more surreal adding "chaser" and "backstabber" over mauler to add to that theme. Of course as with any swarm or miniswarm the more of them that move at the same ps the easier to fly.
Honestly, if you go the Inquisitor swarm route you want the non-Inquisitor ships in the list to be self-sufficient enough to run as a mini swarm on their own while the Inquisitor is off arc dodging ... but you also want those ships to be flexible enough and dangerous enough to lead the charge in a tight formation in front of the Inquisitor.
It isn't much of a "swarm" but I would run your Inquisitor with three Omega squadron TIE/FOs all with Comm Relay and Predator. Yes, it means three "swarm" ships instead of four but they all have the same pilot skill so they are easier to fly in formation. They are also all self-sufficient in that they have comm relay to help hold onto evade tokens and predator for guaranteed re-rolls of attack dice ... so you don't have to worry about the swarm leader getting picked off and leaving the remaining swarm ships in a tough spot. Not only that, but they each have a shield and a better dial than standard TIEs thanks to s-loops.
