4 TIE squad

By strawb3rrypanic, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey I've taken a liking to this recently:

Inquisitor 25

TIE/v1 1

PTL 3

Autothrusters 2

Omega Leader 21

Juke 2

Comm Relay 3

Zeta Leader 20

Predator

Howlrunner 18

Juke 2

Pretty good firepower for a 2 dice TIE list being that Inquisitor is actually 3 dice and Zeta Leader is 3 dice without being situational like Backstabber or Mithel.

Howlrunner lets Zeta get up to two, sometimes three rerolls depending on ps skill via predator allowing him to take focus dodge or barrel roll ( like the latter best) more often. Omega Leader appreciates the re-roll greatly as well since he'd rather not spend his lock as long as possible.

Cool. Its a little light on firepower, but Howlie acts like a cheap biggs for your more valuable fighters (who do just fine even without her).

Even so, with the u-boat menace, I'd consider dropping howlrunner for either an alpha interceptor w/ thrusters; or Seinar pilot w/ V-1 & thrusters. Its just nice to have a blocker these days...
