Snipers and no saber squadron?? What??

Besides that I think it looks cool. The IF! And the DTT seems like it will be a very deadly combo.

Two other thoughts.

1. Why not the Cymoon instead of the ISD II?

2. Have you thought about captain Jonas also? You could guarantee 3 of your dice each attack. That could be pretty bitchin’.

Isd 2 has defensive upgrade for the needed ECMs

I have considered Jonas just cant find the point

Why the 3 defenders? 3 seems an odd number and the defenders just aren’t specialized at all. For that price you could do Jonus, ciena and valen. Ciena and valen to tie up fighter and jonus can just go do his own thing, especially with grit.

I would probably remove RBD. Add Brunson to the non-Needa Arq to keep some kind of evade while TRCing. No BCC as with just three defender is ridiculous. And swap those defenders for Jonus, Zertik, Black and a jump5k OR tempest/advanced if you want to keep that bid.

Blockade run is a risky choice with 2 VSD's as they wont make it unless they go speed 2 the entire game and dont get blocked/rammed. perhaps switch it for targeting beacons as it'll help keep the VSD's red dice fairly consistent, as well as the Cymoons

So I played this version of imperial snipers 2 and I really like it. Extra consistent damage and at least twice jonus got me the extra accuracy I needed. Now mind you I was facing off againsts a silly triple ISD list with no squadrons so a good but not great test

Another update used the above list is tournament and pretty solidly beat list I was most worried about. The first was an ISD dual quasar and a massive interceptor wing with howlrunner and dengar plus the new officer that adds counter so counter 5 intercepted. Valen and Ciera did fantastic tying up his fighters with jonus giving me at least one accuracy. An accidental ram kept my ISD in double arc letting me kill his and one of his quasars. Unfortunately the other quasar was out of range and lived. Only lost Needa Arquten

The next was a dodonna bomber list with an endevor liberty and an abomination mc30 with Nora, nym, rouge squadron, Here and two lancers. This i was most worried about but valen and ciera are amazing and kept his bombers occupied for most of the game. I got lucky with some good obstecule placement and ISD maneuverability to get around his liberty's front arc and get the kill.

The last list was a dual ISD with dual flotilla squadron less. This ideas confident but poor deployment got both Arquitens killed early and I just didn't have the fire power to win.

Over all This is a solid lists that I hope adds to the meta
