So, which list is more viable? To ask about some choices, I did ISD II for Sloane, even though BT needs close range. The goal of that list is to Avenger two ships, one with BT and one with Sloane, so is ISD II worth it? The second list is commanded by thrawn, as he allows the ISD to slow down as it approaches its target to trigger QBT, and also give the ISD another black die. I feel like there is a 75 point gap that the squad wing fills. I don’t have a second glad, but I do have a raider and an arquitens, so could I replace my aquadseith that? Anyway thanks for commenting on these lists.
