Bomber Challenge, How many Tie Bombers can you make pilot skill Nine?

You could have 3 at the most. Take Vader with swarm tactics and three bombers of your choosing. At least two of them have to have an ept slot and take swarm tactics as well.

Well, technically I could make 4 of them PS10 and still have 12 points left over, but they would not be PS10 at the same time.

Tomex w/ VI

3x Bomber w/ Decoy.

So I win via technicality... Right?

Sharpie.

Any number you want

This thread is really amazing

That is still only 6...

Unless you sharpie over their squad point cost too.

But then that is still only 12, right? Cause isn't that the limit on how many ships you can have of one type? Or does that only apply to epic? (Or am I just crazy...)

Oh, I guess you could use the sharpie for writing.

I was thinking of just taking the lid off and huffing it until everything is a bomber.

Vader and some gammas with swarm tactics at least fire at ps 9... load the bombers on gozantis and they move after ps 12... Do i win?

Edit: First version had Howlrunner (+Adaptability), but I realized that swarm tactics doesnt work like decoy.

Howlrunner is only ps8...

Very fun thread, are we talking in a 100 point list, or what are the restrictions?

Unless your going for alpha strike, dont bombers want to be low ps to drop bombs?

now alpha strike....there's a 5 procket a-wing list out there where every ship fires at ps 10.

5 a wings with Prockets at ps10 huh? I don't tbink so, given the cheapest an a wing with Prockets can be is 20 points. So that's 5 ps1 a wings with zero points left over for any ps increase shenanigans.

Yeah. I looked for it. Misremembered. But you can do it with 4.

I am trying to creates a competitive Bomber list. In order to due that at least three bombers have to have PS9, They must fire first in most rounds. Though I can't get it to work. Oh Well.

Have you tried 5 bombers with seismics and extra munitions? It's a blast to play and obliterates any low health ship in the game.
