Quad Interceptors

By Ronu, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So charity event tomorrow wanted to have fun but not brokenly uber competitive. Somehow I cooked this up.

Royal guard TIE x4

VI x4

Auto thrusters x4

So four PS 8 fighters seems interesting.

I LOVE IT!!! I've been wanting to fly this in a tournament for a while but keep getting cold feet. I tried it in casual play at it was very fun. Let us know how it goes! Good luck.

Do you happen to have the cards to make that 4 Crack Shots instead of VI?

Do you happen to have the cards to make that 4 Crack Shots instead of VI?

Only 1 Crackshot

Yeah, me too. What about dropping one to an Alpha as a blocker and cheap gun to free up some points for better EPTs on the Royal Guards?

Something like:

Alpha Squadron Pilot 18

Royal Guard 22, Predator 3, Autothrusters 2 = 27

Royal Guard 22, Predator 3, Autothrusters 2 = 27

Royal Guard 22, Predator 3, Autothrusters 2 = 27

Predator isn't PTL, but it's fun and makes your offense huge. Of course PTL is an option as well.

Simple idea is 12 bullets first before a boat fires back?

You've got an outside chance of downing a Scout before it sends off torpedoes, but you're probably better off trying to outmaneuver it. You'll tear pretty much anything apart at close range.

Are you going to the CAC tourney? If so, which site?

Man... I thought I had enough interceptors! This just makes me want to find more red ones... gak!

That's pretty high powered stuff. Is there another 4 generic ship list with higher pilot skills?

Edit: Just ran them all... nope... there are a couple of 7s but nothing else can be an 8!

I love Interceptors. This list makes me moist.

Are you going to the CAC tourney? If so, which site?

Yes Droid I am, Iowa City.

I've always been a big fan of push the limit interceptors. I don't care if its 'what everyone else does' because it bloody well works and its fun as hell on interceptors.

Dueling Sabres:

2 sabres w/ PTL & autothrusters

2 sabres w/ PTL

100

Or, Alpha Royale:

2 alpha pilots w/ autothrusters

2 royal guards w/ PTL, title, autothrusters & hull

100

Yes Droid I am, Iowa City.

Also?

4x Royal Guard (22) + PTL (3) = 100

Yes i know, the PS is only, but with PTL they can make always two actions in a row.

There's still plenty of turrets out there, so Autothrusters are too useful to exclude imo.

How about:3 Tie Interceptors, Youngster?

Royal Guard Pilot (27) x 3
TIE Interceptor (22), Push the Limit (3), Royal Guard TIE (0), Autothrusters (2)

“Youngster” (18)
TIE Fighter (15), Predator (3)

Youngster trails behind TIE Ints for as long as he can, though will be primaried if at all possible, even so this is no bad thing as it gives your ints more time to get some damage in. All PS at 6.

Why youngster, the Ints cant use his abilities and even if they could predator isnt an elite with an action. In this case I would think that scourge with CS would be better

So the list is plenty of fun to fly.

Sadly I cannot say much beyond that. Comments for the day went as such:

Wow that is awesome I'll need to try that sometime.

I have never seen dice fail so badly.

I was your dice not your flying that let you down.

Wow is that really your third strait roll of blanks?

This person should have been gone X number of rounds ago.

Certainly worth looking at 2 with PTL and two with VI and Thrusters. Or even all four with PTL. Tough to say though with no dice support.

Sounds like you had a rough day. Hope you had fun though.

Oh by the 4th game it had gotten comical so yes I had fun, just not because I was having good close matches but laughing at my pathetic dice.

Ok, i stand corrected. Shame. Oh well Howlrunner then I suppose at 18points.

Just found this topic. Cool! I came up with this:

4x Saber Sq. Pilot (Opportunist)

Now, it's probably going to flop against torpedo scouts because they want to hold onto their focus tokens. But aces and things are going to be loathe to part with their tokens in fear of incoming attacks. I might just give it a shot!
