Blood Cluster Group - FO/Imperial Build

By Dynamus, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So with the new tie silencer coming i decided to take a stab at creating a tie group that would focued on debris cluster fights.

"Omega Leader" + Juke + Comm Relay (26)


Test Pilot "Blackout" + Autothrusters + Debris Gambit + Fire-Control System + Threat Tracker (40)


Countess Ryad + Twin Ion Engine Mk. II + TIE/x7 + Veteran Instincts (34)

I would be putting the countess on overwatch duty as stragglers would make their way out of the intial conflict zone.

The one worry i have are bombs as fighting in confined spaces do not work well for ties in most occasions in my experience.

I don't think PTL (Edit: whoops, meant VI) is worth it on Ryad in today's meta. Maybe Juke or, preferably, PTL.

While I think Blackout has the potential to be a dominating pilot these days, I think he needs more ability to line right up to a rock and still get away. I've seen/thought PTL/Adv Sensors/PA would be very useful.

The issue, of course, is fitting everything into one list. With that in mind, here is my suggestion:

Omega Leader

Juke

Comm Relay

Ryad

X7

PTL

Blackout

Trick Shot

Collision Detector

Pattern Analyzer

Title

AT

Blackout can go right over debris however he pleases and still get an action, while the title provides an offensive reroll. It makes him a less "OMG I have to kill him right now" target

That point total comes up to 98. A good total if you want to add twin to them pending on wether you are dealing with a stressbot.

Thanks for the advice

Now all i need is the special forces tie and the silencer lol
