Anyone run a Silencer with an 4 Tie Swarm?

I was was looking at Avenger with

Scorch

No experience, but I think if you're taking a supporting mini-swarm, Avenger is a good call. He's not that high an initiative, so I'd spend the rest of your points on upgrades (I'd definitely recommend fanatical for the silencer, not sure what else).

I'm not sure about the choice of wingmen, though. I'd be very, very tempted to take TN-3465 - firstly the inflict a critical/modify to a critical is a very powerful rule, but that makes her even worth considering suiciding with her ability, since it potentially nets Avenger two actions (with autothrusters), allowing him to deliver a range 1 shot with a bonus critical, blow up an already damaged TN-3465 in the crossfire, then barrel roll/boost out of arc of return fire.

While I see the value of Avenger with a swarm, I'd want Recoil and some TIE 'aces,' like so:

Recoil (Predator)

Longshot, Midnight, Scorch (all with Fanatical and AdOps)

I'm going to try Recoil + 4x Omega Squadron ace today, so I'll see if it's working..

So, the combination Recoil + 4x Omega was not bad at all! But it lacks something, so I've made soome changes and I'll see it today in action:

“Recoil” (63)
Predator (2)
Pattern Analyzer (5)

“Longshot” (33)
Fanatical (2)

Omega Squadron Ace (31)
Fanatical (2)

Lieutenant Rivas (30)

Epsilon Squadron Cadet (28)

Total: 196

TIE fo without Fanatical are lacking something. They are good even without it, but... And also not using TIEs with PS 1 is bit of limiting for me, as I was always used to be able to block something down. Ive also decided to change generic pilots with named ones - there are enough points for them and why not to have an opportunity to improve them a little bit in addition to their main role in helping the Silencer.

I'm happy we got 3 Fanaticals, but a little befuddled why we didn't get 3 of each Tech! Grumble grumble !

Enjoy the list

I had a great game with them, they work together quite fine. Even that I did not use Fanatical this time, as there was no opportunity for the card (only blanks or hits were rolled or the TIE died instantly). Let me know, if you'll have use for the analyser, I did use it only once, as I was flying almost only with blue moves and there was only one opportunity for me to fly K-turn...

My first opponent got all paint the whole game. It was a massacre but recoil lived.

Second game I won but gave up half points.

Didnt use analyzer at all. Im taking it off. Love recoil.
