The TIE Hunters of Widowmaker Squadron are ready to pursue their quarry throughout the Aturi cluster and beyond.

Yeah, a normal TIE/HU would basically have the ATK and upgrade options of a Y-Wing (the loadout is in fact identical, to the amount of torpedoes carried) just in XWM you'd use Ion Cannon instead of ICT+Title. Now with the advent of bullseye that might be a solid way to show a superiority fighter suited to special operations and killing enemy superiority fighters.

As an AoR GM though, I approve of crazy custom TIEs. I've used Hunters/Storm Commandos as elite units in multiple game lines.

I still disagree, but to illustrate why I would need to compile photos with callouts... As one does with nerdy fantasy space vehicle hardware discussions.

Someday through shapeways I also want to make models of all the myriad TIE Defender depictions. There are something like four or five, depending on the artist.

And that's perfectly fair, but I'm not going to discount this canon iteration of the TIE Defender being the closest to that which we've wanted for a very very long time.

And frankly, I think the external missile slots are really, really clever.

Ok, those would be crazy overpowered in the normal game, but it’s HotAC, so enjoy! Actually looks like a very fair and balanced boss-level fight for your players.

Thanks! I'm thinking about adding an ig2000 title-like ept that allows them to share abilities while they're within a certain range of each other.

Yeah, when I was doing research for the ship I saw that its loadout was the same as the Y-wing and wanted to field something more powerful and specialized to present a real challenge for my squadron.

Those are crazy beautiful models...

but I' would have to really disagree with the stats you gave them. There is no way a tiny ship like that should have that much firepower...

and that much agility...

AND that much shields..

I realize your need/desire for a BOSS ship...

Just do not feel that those stats fit the ship you have chosen to give them to.

Just my opinion.

But if you don't want the models... I'll take them. :)

Should work now. I don't know what's wrong with linking imgur galleries here nowadays but it doesn't work like it used to

It's so odd because the embedded galleries used to work here just fine.
