Hey all,

So I'm looking for thoughts on this mini swarm list using Quickdraw and some FO Aces.

100pts

“Quickdraw” (32)
Special Forces TIE (29), Rage (1), Electronic Baffle (1), Special Ops Training (0), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

“Omega Leader” (26)
TIE/fo Fighter (21), Comm Relay (3), Juke (2)

“Zeta Leader” (23)
TIE/fo Fighter (20), Weapons Guidance (2), Wired (1)

“Epsilon Leader” (19)

My idea was to start in formation, QD and OL do their standard thing and ZL and EL support where they can. Eventually when things get mixed up they'll probably have to separate but QD and OL can handle being on their own and hopefully ZL and EL can stay close to each other to keep ZL's offense going.

Not sure how competitive it'll be but will be trying it tomorrow.

I don't see why it shouldn't work.

I'm not sure you need Epsilon Leader - you'll still be stuck on green moves (because Zeta Leader's ability triggers after Epsilon Leader's, but before the next maneuver), but the TIE/fo's dial is pretty **** good.

An alternative you could swap him out for is Epsilon Ace with Primed Thrusters, and Twin Ion Engines MkII on Zeta Leader. The Engines Modification allow speed '3' banks as an option, and Epsilon Ace with Primed Thrusters is a surprisingly good dogfighter for 18 points; with Omega Leader and Quickdraw on the board, he's easy to ignore, but what you can achieve with a PS12 pilot who can segnor's loop and still barrel roll afterwards is quite suprising (certainly for 18 points he's firmly in 'what the hell!' territory).
