Vader & Friends

By Rmilledge32, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I've just started playing X-wing when 2.0 dropped.. got about 5 other friends involved as well and we're all learning together. This is a go at an Imperial list I've come up with, let me know what you guys think!

TIE Advanced x1 - •Darth Vader - 81
•Darth Vader - Black Leader (70)
Fire-Control System (3)
Concussion Missiles (6)
Instinctive Aim (2)

TIE/ln Fighter - •Seyn Marana - 31
•Seyn Marana - Inferno Four (30)
Marksmanship (1)

TIE Reaper - •Major Vermeil - 60
•Major Vermeil - Veteran of Scarif (49)
Swarm Tactics (3)
Director Krennic (5)
ISB Slicer (3)

TIE/ln Fighter - •Valen Rudor - 28
•Valen Rudor - Braggadocious Baron (28)

Total: 200/200

The plan is to have Vermeil acquire lock and jam on a single target and keep them within slicer range to prevent shedding jam and focus fire with everyone at int. 4 or higher using swarm on Valen.

Honestly it looks pretty good! Though I am one to think that Kallus would be better than Krennic on Vermeil, I like the extra mods. I'm curious whether Valen will pull his weight - let us know!

(Missiles on Vader could easily be Krennic on the Reaper)

Instinctive Aim is a bit of an odd one on Vader. You can spend your force to get a target lock any time you do an action...so same cost but you have a target lock.

Instinctive Aim is only good on Vader if someone moves after you.

Good point!! It is a little redundant I guess.. Didn't really think about that haha!
