Phantoms of the First Order

By Calaith, in X-Wing Squad Lists

A few weeks ago a friend of mine re-painted my Inquisitor Tie to fit in with my Tie/FO swarm, and it looked incredible. I've now won 2, lost 1 with the power of the First Order at my local store. I was so happy with it I asked him to do my Tie Phantom, which I've barely even used. The list below is what I've come up with so far, but am open to suggestions - not only for a potentially better built/crewed phantom, but also general tips on how to fly them. I also have an Upsilon, Interceptors and could get a Tie/SF if you think the phantom could have better wingmen.

You've got the Phantom built perfectly. Gunner works, not only offensively but also defensively for Whisper; all but guarenting that free focus token.

Try to avoid ever approaching the enemy square on. That first shot you should aim to be 45 degrees so you have the option to decloak away from them.

Throw feints, run your opponent through asteroids to isolate a ship then cut in and wreck face.
