Afternoon All,

So, I've been trying to think about how I'm going to use the Hammerheads with Leia, I came up with this idea for lots of ships and a pile of Z-95s. Thoughts?

Commander: Leia Organa

Hammerhead Scout Corvette (41 points)
- Task Force Organa ( 1 points)
- Slaved Turrets ( 6 points)
= 48 total ship cost

Hammerhead Scout Corvette (41 points)
- Task Force Organa ( 1 points)
- Slaved Turrets ( 6 points)
= 48 total ship cost

Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36 points)
- Task Force Antilles ( 3 points)
- External Racks ( 3 points)
= 42 total ship cost

Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36 points)
- Task Force Antilles ( 3 points)
- External Racks ( 3 points)
= 42 total ship cost

[ flagship ] Modified Pelta-class Command Ship (60 points)
- Leia Organa ( 38 points)
- Fighter Coordination Team ( 3 points)
- Boosted Comms ( 4 points)
- Shields to Maximum! ( 6 points)
= 111 total ship cost

GR-75 Medium Transports (18 points)
- Bright Hope ( 2 points)
- Expanded Hangar Bay ( 5 points)
= 25 total ship cost

GR-75 Medium Transports (18 points)
- Quantum Storm ( 1 points)
- Comms Net ( 2 points)
= 21 total ship cost

1 Lietenant Blount ( 14 points)
7 Z-95 Headhunter Squadrons ( 49 points)

I wouldn't try to put two different task forces in the same list, unless you have like 6-8 corvettes in there. It looks like it is a little more centered toward Task Force Antilles because of the STM pelta. Just my advice. I'll leave the rest to the experts.

Good point. So, having had a bit of think about this overnight I've refined it to this.

I'm hoping a 9pt Initiative Bid is enough as the Boarding Engineers are going to be really hard to use without having the Initiative. We're going for a super high activation list here, hoping to out activate my opponent and leverage Leia's ability as an Admiral so that when I concentrate fire I can add a die and re-roll a die, I can do more squad activations as well. The slicer tools is there specifically to remove Squad activation commands from my opponents carrier ship. I'll be comms netting engineering to the Pelta and I'm hoping that I can use the Task Force titles to spread out damage on the Hammerheads and then regen with Shields to Maximum.

The Z-95s are there to provide a fighter screen against bombers and the like, I intend to keep them quite close to the ships and only use them to intercept.

Hammerheads!

I like the list. I think you may want to swap out the Slaved Turrets for the new Quad Battery Turrets and then use the extra two points saved to put Hondo Ohnaka somewhere in your fleet to pass a extra token to the Pelta for another round of STM!

Been toying with Hammerhead lists in the list creator. I do like Shields to Maximum and Task Force Antillies. They do become hard to kill. Outside of the Alpha strike, I am not sure how well they will do with taking down ships. I am thinking slow boating the scouts w/quads with a bunch of Y-wings may give more of punch.
