2.0 Super vader, Evil Reaper and iritating wasp

By IgotTargetlocked, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hello ppl

thinking about trying this out just for fun. The reper can give ppl both tractor and jam or just stress, vader hits like he dose and the Nu just blasts ppl with clusters.

Darth Vader — TIE Advanced 70
Supernatural Reflexes 12
Fire-Control System 3
Afterburners 8
Ship Total: 93
Major Vermeil — TIE Reaper 49
Seventh Sister 12
0-0-0 3
Ship Total: 64
Nu Squadron Pilot — Alpha-Class Star Wing 35
Fire-Control System 3
Cluster Missiles 5
Os-1 Arsenal Loadout 0
Ship Total: 43

Looks good. My one suggestion is that, for 43 points, it may be worth taking, for the Nu, the Cannon title, with Adv. Slam and Ion cannon. Same points, but will be very annoying, especially to aces. I am very skeptical of Cluster Missiles unless you can actually mod both shots, which the Nu will be unable to do. If you are worried about swarms, Vader having the Cruise Missile would be better. I just think this Nu won't contribute much. Otherwise, for 1 point more, take off the Fire Control and the Cluster, but put on Proton Torpedoes. If the enemy ignores him (which they presumably will as they want to kill your other two ships), he can get a lock and unleash a devastating PT. OR, you could put Adv. Proton Torpedoes on him and make him a fiend at Range 1. Probably my favorite Gunboat loadout right now, if you have the points (which I see that you that you don't, but, well, you could drop Afterburners) looks like this:

Nu - 35

Cannon Title (0)

Ion Cannon (5)

Adv. SLAM (3)

Adv. PT (6)

49 Points

He engages at long range with the Ion Cannon, mainly as a cheap 3 die attack that doesn't need a focus. Then he jumps into Range 1 on the next turn of combat (not that hard) and grabs a lock. 5 Dice range 1, hard to avoid.

Good luck!

Problemo here is that Vader crew is THE best upgrade for Vermeil easily, bar none

Much better off with Palpatine Feroph

Perhaps this one then?
