Deployment would put Demo front and center, Suppresor immediately to one side, the flagship behind, and one Arquiten and one Rider on each flank. Each Arquiten-Raider team would attempt to flank from their respective side and herd your opponent towards Demolisher supported by Suppressor.


If your opponent goes after either flanking team they'll expose themselves to Demolisher worse than just flying into the trap.


I know this list lacks squadrons - my thoughts would be to remove Suppressor and put in some Aggressors to screen Demolisher.

What if I just fly everything at Demolisher?

What if I just fly everything at Demolisher?

Yeah, I guess two Arquitens and two Raiders behind you isn't that concerning if you've already got Demolisher off the board.

Drop Wulff for SFO and take Screed to make sure of the APTs. It also helps with the Kitten's long range fire with those fickle red dice.

I would also prefer DTTs over Slaved Turrets unless you use are using Vader as your commander.
