Vader's Kite Club

By shmitty, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Here's the next Imperial Fleet that I want to try:

Interdictor Supression Refit

  • Darth Vader
  • Interdictor
  • Ion Cannon Batteries
  • Grav Shift Reroute
  • G-8 Experimental Projector

Arquitens Light Cruiser

  • Hand of Justice
  • Slaved Turrets

Arquitens Light Cruiser

  • Slaved Turrets

Raider I

Gozanti

  • Captain Jonus
  • Tie Advanced
  • Jumpmaster
  • 3x TIE Fighter

I wrote about how I put it together on my blog: HERE

It seems like an amusing fleet. What do you think?

Vader is always the prime choice for commander if you're looking to throw red dice on the table.

I do not think it is worth it to put slaved turrets on the Arquitens because its last joint always permits two clicks, allowing double arcs to be lined up more often.

That's 12 points you can save right there. One of my friends suggested that I add RLBs to my light cruisers, and they have been working out exceptionally well. You can take a lot of beating from a squadron and preserve your shields.

As far as Tie Fighters go, I do not think I will ever use them without Howlrunner and Soontir. They're fragile but can be preserved and become incredibly cost efficient when paired with the two.

Great blog, and I hope to read more from ya.

Speaking from experience, you're going to use the front and rear arcs of the kittens more than you think. Save the points on the slaved turrets. If you can, get a third naked kitten. They're so damned great with Vader.
