36 point one ship event - Imperial list

Sorry, I like to have fun playing a game. Also, not really sure you know how to use Deathrain, but whatever.

How's this for giggles?

TIE Bomber (35) - PS 10

Tomax Bren

Veteran Instincts (1)

TIE Shuttle (0)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Darth Vader (3)

Rebel Captive (3)

OR the PS8 version, replace VI with Lightning Reflexes. Every single white/green maneuver is now basically a K-turn/sloop/talon roll.

Mmm, yeah. I like that second one a LOT for a 36 point 1v1. I'd take that against Soontir in a head to head.

I know you were wanting Imperials, but I wonder if Blount might do good in something like that. Advanced Homing Missiles, Stealth Device, Lone Wolf. Plus he ruins Stealth Device. Only problem is damage output.

Better than that:

N'Dru Suhlak (17)

Lone Wolf (2)

Cluster Missiles (4)

Hot Shot Blaster (3)

Pick a mod: Stealth, Shield, Guidance Chips

I'm a more aggressive player, so I'd go Guidance Chips. Two 4 dice shots with one reroll and one hit guaranteed... each? Yes, please.

Ooh!!!

I call this one /ragequit (36)

Bounty Hunter (33)

Darth Vader (3).

3 attack, 2 def. Two arcs. 10 hp. And Vader on board. Because tantrums cause crits.

One ship it would be Soontir with the usual set up.

Vicious.

Soontir. But in a world where lockdown exists... Omega Leader. I'd rather have Soontir against most ships, but OL will beat Soontir so....

Ooh!!!

I call this one /ragequit (36)

Bounty Hunter (33)

Darth Vader (3).

3 attack, 2 def. Two arcs. 10 hp. And Vader on board. Because tantrums cause crits.

I'd be tempted to take Omega Leader but I reckon a lot of people will be taking Expert handling to combat that. I also think he'll struggle to push enough damage through often enough on a shield regenerating ship.

I think I'll change the EPT to veteran instincts on Vader, to ensure I'm always moving last and can get arc dodgers in arc more consistently. So I'll be taking:

Darth Vader

Veteran Instincts

Engine Upgrade

Title

Advanced targeting computer

Well I won 3,lost 2 and drew one (Soontir Fel and I chasing each other it doing much damage).

Looks like the overall winner will be a tie bomber or a b-wing (Nera Dantels) with a bunch of munitions.

Was good fun though really wish Tie Veterans had been out at the time.

Good job! Sounds like a fun style of game that I want to try now against my friends.

Yeah it was good fun, except for the mangler cannon Tien Numb XD

I think they will run other mini events like this, maybe one large base non unique pilot type maybe could be fun. Or any 50 point generic ships only. The prize was a gift voucher for the store and a mug, so nothing major Vita nice little bonus for the winner.
