Vader’s Mixed Fleet

By lastcommand, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Hey I am trying to come up with a bit of a mixed bag list for a tournament. Don’t expect to win with it but wanted to try something different. Thoughts on the list?

Name: Vader - MixedBag T
Faction: Imperial
Commander: Darth Vader

Assault: Opening Salvo
Defense: Hyperspace Assault
Navigation: Solar Corona

Imperial II (120)
• Darth Vader (36)
• Captain Brunson (5)
• Gunnery Team (7)
• Electronic Countermeasures (7)
• XI7 Turbolasers (6)
= 181 Points

Raider I (44)
• Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)
= 49 Points

Raider I (44)
• Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)
= 49 Points

Gozanti Cruisers (23)
• Comms Net (2)
= 25 Points

Squadrons:
• Howlrunner (16)
• Mauler Mithel (15)
• Valen Rudor (13)
• Ciena Ree (17)
• Lambda Shuttle (15)
• Dengar (20)
= 96 Points

Total Points: 400

Avoid Opening Salvo.

Also every ship you took have other options for dice fixing. Motti + OEx2 + LS cost the same. With JJ or Ozzel you save points and gain interesting boosts to you navigation.

Ok cheers, what would you suggest as a replacement for Opening Salvo? If I went with Most Wanted would you make the Gozanti the objective ship?

Version 2:

Name: JJ - MixedBag T
Faction: Imperial
Commander: Moff Jerjerrod

Assault: Most Wanted
Defense: Hyperspace Assault
Navigation: Solar Corona

Imperial II (120)
• Moff Jerjerrod (23)
• Captain Brunson (5)
• Gunnery Team (7)
• Electronic Countermeasures (7)
• Leading Shots (4)
• XI7 Turbolasers (6)
= 172 Points

Raider I (44)
• Ordnance Experts (4)
• Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)
= 53 Points

Of course! It is boring I know but it works. You could get something from Precision Strike but it doesn't worth the risk.

Also those Raider will be tricky to use. Just 4 activations and giving up first player make it hard.

They sure are, but I am a sucker for them!! With JJ hopefully I can get some crazy handbrakes and powerslides with them!

Thanks for the feedback.
