Hi all,

In keeping with my philosophy of "if I buy it, I'll fly it"; I've found myself as the somewhat proud owner of three Tie Advanced Prototypes. The fact that these were bought on release so that I could get my hands on three Guidance Chips cards quickly before a tournament is my excuse.

Anyhow, I've got them, so I'm **** sure I'm going to fly the buggers. The other stipulation that I impose upon myself is that I don't mind if my opponents proxy in casual games, but I don't. So I only play with the ships/cards that I own.

Now that I've bored you all to distraction, here's my list -

The Tap Dance

TIE Interceptor (34pts)

Carnor Jax: Royal Guard Tie, PTL, AT, SD

TIE Advanced Prototype (22pts) x 3

Baron of the Empire:TIE/V1, Wingman

Any thoughts, criticisms and suggestions as always, more than welcome and appreciated.

Cheers

Hey Mr. Sheep,

I'm a proud owner of 3 TAPs as well (absolutely my favourite small ship!).

Do you mind describing what strategy you had in mind with the triple Wingman EPT? The 15-point premium over regular Sienars is pretty significant.

If you're interested in a fun list that doesn't depart too much from your original one, you could try:

Carnor Jax [PTL, title, AT, SD]

Sienar Test Pilot [Homing Missile, Guidance Chip, Title]

Sienar Test Pilot [Homing Missile, Guidance Chip, Title]

Sienar Test Pilot [Homing Missile, Guidance Chip, Title]

I know for sure you have those upgrade cards since they come with the TAP expansion

Hope that helps!

whats the thought process with Wingman?

Thank you for your replies,

Wingman? Well, being someone who flys Z-95's a lot, I tend to K-Turn like it's 1999.

I'm looking at flying the three TAPs together. Wingman is there to shed the stress.

I do, however, like the look of this -

There's also this list which can make a huge splash on your first pass:

Carnor Jax [PTL, title, AT, SD]

Sienar Test Pilot [Homing Missile, Guidance Chip, Title]

Sienar Test Pilot [Homing Missile, Guidance Chip, Title]

Sienar Test Pilot [Homing Missile, Guidance Chip, Title]

I know for sure you have those upgrade cards since they come with the TAP expansion

Hope that helps!

A lot.

Ah okay. I find the TAP can often get by without K-turning a ton.

As long as you're coming in on an angle, 1-hard into a boost might get you the angle you're looking for.

I find more often than not that the K-Turn helps to create a "kill box" a lot easier. But having said that, I really do need to learn how to fly the TAPs properly.

I am very new to X-Wing and right now tend to lean rebel, but I love the look of the TAP and think it will be a main part of my first Imperial list. I had a similar build to zerotc's with the sienars. However, mine had Soontir instead of Carnor and concussion missiles instead of homing missiles. I like the concussion missiles for the dice modification aspect. With the guidance chips and average dice, you should be able to score 4 hits somewhat regularly, I think (as a newb, I'm not 100% sure on all the probabilities yet).

I love the idea of Carnor here though as his ability makes the concussion missiles have a pseudo-homing effect by denying evade/focus tokens while he's in range 1.
