Vader, Inquisitor and Omega Leader build help

By Stoneface, in X-Wing Squad Lists

There was a great build a short while back using these three guys that, for me, was easy to fly and very strong. I've lost the **** build and I'm unable to relocate the thread where this was discussed. Can anyone help a codger out?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe this?

"Omega Leader" (21)

I like Vader with Lone Wolf better. Drop Prockets, add Lone Wolf. Then you can keep a 1 pt initiative bid, or add thread tracers to Vader. Useful for if you have a Focus and don't have a TL on the ship you want to shoot at, or you could reset OL's TL after the opponent has moved and they did so unexpectedly so now OL has the wrong TL. Options.

This build is very,very close but I don't remember proton rockets on either Vader or the Inquisitor. Heck, maybe this is it and I'm suffering from a bad case of CRS.

Thanks for the replies! I'll test this out Wednesday nite.

I would be tempted to replace Vader with VI Vessery to take advantage of those target locks. Go /x7 if you want durability or /D with cannon if you are feeling brave.

There was a list with these three pilots about the time OL and The Inquisitor was released. It was interesting and I decided to try it since I mostly fly Rebels. Took apart two scum lists the first night. Was going to use it again but can't find the bloody list!

My track record with Imperials is pretty poor. My style is more cleaver than scalpel but for some reason this build and I clicked. I'd like to try it again.

I don't know if it is definitive but here is my take on the H8ful trio.

34 Vessery (35), /x7 (-2), VI (1)
26 Omega Leader (21), Juke (2), Comms Relay (3)
34 Inquisitor (25), Autothrusters (2), PTL (3), Prockets (3), v1 Title (1)
94 points

Now there is plenty you can do with those last few points. A Stealth Device on a pilot of your choice would probably be good value and still leave you 3 points for a decent initiative bid. Or even 2 SDs.

Alternatively you can swap Vessery to the /D version and a cannon of your choice. Tractor beam is quite good as Vessery gets rerolls from his buddies' TLs and he can then reduce the target's agility for the rest of the shooting.

This was my OL/Inq/Vess list I built when Imperial Veterans and the title was first spoiled. I called it "Lock Stock" and I know it will get dismissed right out of hand due xD, but it served me well and was fun. With all at 8 shot order was fun especially if you did get that TB off. This was mainly played pre-Defender boom so take that with a grain of salt.
