FINALLY Going to first tournament this weekend (... I hope)

By ArbitraryNerd, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Life (and X-Wing) keep getting in the way, but I think I'm finally making my first ever IA tournament this weekend.

Anything recently come up for people during their events? Are we still seeing a focus on Scum Hunters?

Anyone want to throw out modern list recommendation or two? Assume I've got one of everything, won't buy more than one of a box set, and don't have anyone to borrow from, haha.

No interest in Rebels, and I love Empire but am not really sure where they're at -- I'm willing to run Scum and not opposed to 100% net-decking as this is my first go around, haha.

If you want to run Imperials with what you have I'd go with something like this. I prefer two sets of eJets but if you can't borrow one it wouldn't be the end of the world.

That list wouldn't work because you would need an extra point for Temp Alliance. Also, the elite Weequays are awesome, but the Tuscan Raiders aren't that great. Also, if you have BT1, he's fun to play. Start with Terro, however many eJets you have (up to two), an officer, BT, and then fill in to taste. Feel free to bring in an eQuay and something else with TA.

You're right. I thought I had added that in but maybe I fat fingered it on my phone. In that case I'd drop and officer and take Temp Alliance and Rule by Fear.

Im not a huge fan of eQuays mixed with Jets because there are so many points both want to use and they aren't particularly interchangeable. Tuskens and ePigs don't require any command card support to be solid units and I defintely wouldn't call eTuskens bad by any means. Red green with an innate damage is a solid roll and they have 7 health on a black die to back them up. They do need to get in close on round 1 though so they can get attacks off on round 2.

Lol, I was looking at the regular's stats ?. Yeah, I see the argument for them, I just really like that reroll from the eQuays, but you're right that they don't synergize with jets that well.

I guess that's the best thing about TA: it does give you a wealth of options, which Imperials need at the moment.
