Imperial Snapshot Gimmicks

By secander, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I put together this gimmicky but possibly fun list.

I was thinking this list might have some promise since all pilots can make use of snap shot in interesting and powerful ways and since they're all PS 7 you can fly it like a swarm with great area denial due to all the snap-shots and Rhymer.

Major Rhymer (26)

TIE Shuttle (0)

Snap Shot (2)

Tactician (2)

Mauler Mithel (17)

Snap Shot (2)

Turr Phennir (25)

Snap Shot (2)

Autothrusters (2)

Zeta Leader

Snap Shot (2)

Mauler and Zeta leader are both able to throw 3-dice snap shots. Turr is able to arc dodge in the activation phase. And Rhymer does his gimmicky Snap Shot Rhymer things.

It's probably better to swap out Turr for a Palp Shuttle if you want to be more competitive but the synergies are just too fun. Thoughts?

This looks hilarious. Not really competitive, but really fun, and i would, quite frankly, be terrified of facing this list. Just so many attacks at the most random times, and all sorts of stuff happening.

I ran a squad of Ties with snap shot.

Howlrunner: Snap

5x Black Squadron: Snap

Worked pretty good. Took down double falcon list. Only losing a single tie.

Oh wow, I like that Snap Shot swarm one! Thanks for the comments!

I never thought about Turr with Snapshot. That EPT makes a lot of sense on him.
