Tie fighter aces

By Dosnachos, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I wanted to start competing and was curious if this squad list would be successful. I appreciate everybody's hard critisicim.

Howlrunner

Crack shot, stealth device

Scourge

Stealth device

Backstabber

Stealth device

Youngster

Expose, stealth device

Wampa

Stealth device

Get rid of all the stealth devices. Add another academy pilot. Add Hull to Howl. Swap expose for marksmanship on youngster. Never tried it myself...but looks reasonable.

Depending on how many crack shot you have, this might be an idea. Fly 4 ships in formation and have backstabber a bit off so he can take full advantage of his ability.

<edit> If you want to mix Tie/ln and Tie/FO that is </edit>

Concur with the recommendation to drop the stealth devices and to add Hull to Howlrunner. Really the only TIE pilot who can be fun with a stealth device is Dark Curse, the Annoying One.

My normal rule of thumb for TIEs is that you have to have at least six. Otherwise you just don't have the firepower to kill stuff faster than it kills you.

I am not a fan of either Expose or Marksmanship for Youngster. I think you give him Rage or Crackshot.
