Imperial Shuttle and Phantoms lists.

By Radar159, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I came up with two lists for imperials that I am excited to try out. Here they are,

List 1 Phantoms: (99 points)

"Whisper" + Recon Specialist + VI + ACD (40)

"Echo" + Rebel Captive + VI + ACD (38)

Omicron Group Pilot (21)

List 2 Soontir Fel and Friends (100 points)

Omicron Group Pilot + HLC + Rebel Captive + ST-321 (34)

Soontir Fel + Royal Guard Tie + PTL + Stealth Device + Autothrusters (38)

The Inquisitor + PTL + TIE/v1 + Autothrusters (31)

These are the lists I plan to use the next time I go to my hobby shop. Please leave feedback, thanks.

If you can proxy cards why not try the new Collision Detector system upgrade card on the Phantoms... 0 points. What were your plans for the Lambda in the Phantom list? Maybe take something annoying instead like Dark Curse instead of the Lambda and spend points on a Sensor Jammer on Whisper.

Would you take Palpatine in the Fel list instead of Rebel Captive and HLC?

Just my thoughts.

I don't have access to Palpatine, so I thought decking out the shuttle with HLC and making it a gunship and I think it would work well. It would shoot 4 shots at all ranges and would stay back. That way it would be a support ship. I like sensor jammers, but I only have one and they're not cheap. I would like to be able to have two sensor jammers on the Phantoms and use Wampa for the filler points. But for right now, I think the shuttle works better and brings my list under 100, so I can have initiative

Run the Phantom list!

That list looks good, but I'm not sure what the OGP brings for 21 points...

Drop the crews of both phantoms for Fire Control Systems. Use the spare two points to replace the shuttle with a TIE shuttle with Fleet, Systems, TIE Mk2. Solid list, but extremely vulnerable to things with higher PS than the phantoms...

I was thinking about dropping the shuttle and replace it with howlrunner, any thoughts?

New List

Whisper with Tactician, FCS, VI, ACD

Echo with + FCS, VI, ACD

Howlrunner + Stealth Device

Howlrunner works best in a swarm where her ability can be used several times and squad mates that are close by... the Phantoms will probably be out of range 1. Dark Curse with Stealth Device (I know I'm saying it again!) is probably a better option in this list.

Your Lambda as a gunship could work but I can't fly those things offensively only in runaway mode to keep Palp safe :)

I'm not sure about running the shuttle without Palp and Echo is really vulnerable. Maybe 2 lists for you to consider.

•"Whisper" (39)

Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Fire Control System (2)

TIE Phantom: •Echo (37)

Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Fire Control System (2)

TIE Bomber: Scimitar Squadron Pilot (24)

Guidance Chips (0)

Extra Munitions (2)

Plasma Torpedoes (3)

Adv. Homing Missiles (3)

Total: 100/100

If you're locked into running duel phantoms.

TIE Phantom: •"Whisper" (41)

Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Fire Control System (2)

•Agent Kallus (2)

TIE Adv. Prototype: •The Inquisitor (34)

Autothrusters (2)

TIE/v1 (1)

Push The Limit (3)

Proton Rockets (3)

TIE Bomber: Scimitar Squadron Pilot (25)

Guidance Chips (0)

Extra Munitions (2)

Plasma Torpedoes (3)

Concussion Missiles (4)

Total: 100/100

Maybe a cheap missle platform will work better than a shuttle without Palp.

Both those lists with the bombers seem really interesting, ill have to try one of them out, I was thinking of taking a doom shuttle for my two phantom list. I think that the shuttle will become a big target, therefore my phantoms can flank around and hit the enemy from behind. Also having my shuttle become a doom shuttle, gives it has a major role, thank you for the advice. I plan on trying my doom shuttle list tomorrow.
