My pick is the Inquisitor, Fel, Jax list. I have nothing to base this on. I just like it more.

I don't like the Vessery list. In my experience he wants to shoot twice with marksmanship or a focus and his free TL. If Fel had a way to TL I might like it better. If you want more evasive ships then the second list looks better to me.

I like the the one with the inquisitor and Sootir Fel.

The second list.

Vessery needs both ships feeding him TL. So in list one, replace Fel with Omega Leader and then give Vessery Juke. Or sub in Ryad instead, or anything with a TL, even Vader with ATC.

I'll vote second list too.

Carnor is fun. And not bad if you don't get PS9+ aces all day.

Drop Mk II on Vessery and put on VI so he can use Inquisitor's TL. And if you are going the Carnor route, I would put hull upgrade on instead of stealth as stealth doesn't like range 1 all that much. Both look like fun Imp Aces lists.

If you want to run Fel, I would suggest not Vessery. Now, you can sub in Maarak Stele for Vessery in this case with no point difference, and you gain 1 PS.

I also second what tortugatron said.

Drop Mk II on Vessery and put on VI so he can use Inquisitor's TL.

This!

Both look fun. Play one the first week and the second the next

Jax, fel and inquisitor is a squishy list.

It'd be fun until a single bad roll and then the game would be over.

I used to play fel, Vader and a phantom. It was awesome, and really rewarded good manevering, but if you didn't play it perfectly iy would fall apart. And sometimes even with playing it perfectly, you'd flub your dice and it would fall apart.

Fun list, but don't expect good results at a tourney. Bring more hp for that

Thanks for the replies and suggestions.

It is for a tournament. I've flown the second list a lot since the TAP came out and I love the maneuverability of it. However, it is quite squishy.

I've got some practice games coming up so I'll play about with the first list and see how I get on.

Needs more defenders.

Jax is my bro. Always go Jax

With respect, easily the first list. The second list is very squishy without the Emperor to back up the interceptors. Inquisitor and VI Vessery go together so well it is ridiculous. Almost any other ship can be put with those two and be very effective. I wouldn't pick Soontir as that ship without the Emperor and with BMST now a thing.

The Inquisitor (25)

Push the Limit (3)

Autothrusters (2)

TIE/v1 (1)

Soontir Fel (27)

Push the Limit (3)

Autothrusters (2)

Stealth Device (3)

Royal Guard TIE (0)

Carnor Jax (26)

Push the Limit (3)

Autothrusters (2)

Stealth Device (3)

Royal Guard TIE (0)

Total: 100

i have been struggling to come up with an Imp build I like for a while, might have to appropriate and adjust this one. Thank you!

Fly TIE Fighters! oh, wait, you mean out of these two.....

It really is a joy to fly. The only problem with it is, is that after you've learnt to fly it, everything else seems so static. And it can kill anything up to Wave VIII.

Hey Baa, I love to fly Jax & Fel together too, but I've gotta say, running them with 0pt initiative bid is really going to hobble you.

I also think Inq is a replacement for Fel, and not such a great complement.

The duo list that I've been running recently is Fel, Hulled Jax and an x7 delta. The Delta is there to feint (first to deploy, maneuver away and deny the joust) and block and generally be a brilliant chunk of nuisance.

3pt initiative bid is where it's at for interceptors, in my opinion. Give it a go, see what you think...

I find that people tend to ignore the Inq in favour of going after Jax and I know that I'm going to lose him at some stage. But what they're ignoring is that green 1 turn with 3 attack dice, a two action pocket rocket who can clear stress easily and who (as long as he uses TL as one of his actions) gets a free evade token.

There are problems with it. It hates swarms. Everytime I see one I groan.

But I am going to try a Defender in there to see how it gets on.
