Hi there!
I'm new to the forum but have been playing a while. I've built up a fairly large fleet over the past 6 months or so.
Anyways, after trying loads of different builds with large ships, small ships, and aces I've returned to flying swarms.
I've got two lists I've been trying with mainly against a fat han list and had alright success.
My questions are:
1) which of the lists would you think would have most success at a tournament?
2) which list is better?
3) can you improve on either of these?
List 1:
Howlrunner
Swarm tactics
Scourge
Swarm leader
Stealth device
Mauler Mithil
Snap shot
Youngster
Expose
Wampa
Total 100
List 2:
Howlrunner
Swarm tactics
Scourge
Swarm leader
Stealth device
Mauler Mithil
Snap shot
Wampa
Academy pilot x 2
Total 100
So one swarm is 5 ships, the other is 6. Howlrunner pulls Wampa upto ps8 for shooting, hopefully to push a damage through for Scourge to swarm leader and expose giving 6 dice attack (7r1). Admittedly it's only once or twice a game when it all lines up and you're out of arc and safe to expose with Scourge but when it does its nasty. In list 1 Mauler acts as a blocker to proc snap shot for a nice extra attack (list 2 uses the academy's to pre block for mauler) and the rest of the swarm does like ice cube when he sees a blue uniform and swarm.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
