BT Sloane's Raiders

By Doppelganger, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Hi, I was watching Crabboks video about his Avenger build (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfeBT8SpnqQ) and got inspired:


BT Sloane's Raiders

[ Flagship ] Imperial I-Class Star Destroyer (110 points)

  • Admiral Sloane (24 points)
  • Minister Tua (2 points)
  • Boarding Troopers (3 points)
  • Leading Shots (4 points)
  • XI7 Turbolaser (6 points)
  • Reinforced Blast Doors (5 points)
  • Avenger (5 points)

Raider-I Class Corvette (44 points)

1 Mauler Mithel ( 15 points)
1 Howlrunner ( 16 points)
4 TIE Fighter Squadrons ( 32 points)

Thoughts?
Is this too little squads? Is this too unfocused?

Having swapped Vader for Sloane I'd want to get ordnance experts on the raiders, really help with all the black dice.

Not got enough experience with squads to comment but it does seem a little low to really make the best use of Sloane.

Yeah, that was pretty much what I was concerned about.

Although I am kinda tempted to just drop the XI7 (that turbolaser slot gave me major headaches) and get the ordnance experts at least on one Raider.

Without Intel or Chiraneau Mauler will get locked up in combat and probably only "Ram" once per game. Either swap a Tie-A for a Jumpmaster or ditch Mauler for 1-2 more Ties and maybe upgrade the Advanced to Zertek and Tempest. I agree XI6s can probably go. DTTs instead maybe or Suppressor on a Gozanti.
