Triple Interdictor

By The Jabbawookie, in Star Wars: Armada

So with the Interdictor on sale, to justify getting another one (I can quit any time I want, really!) I came up with this.

Name: This Time, I Drive
Faction: Imperial
Commander: Grand Admiral Thrawn

Assault: Station Assault
Defense: Fleet Ambush
Navigation: Salvage Run

Interdictor Suppression Refit (90)
• Grand Admiral Thrawn (32)
• Captain Brunson (5)
• Engine Techs (8)
• Disposable Capacitors (3)
• Targeting Scrambler (5)
• G7-X Grav Well Projector (2)
• Heavy Ion Emplacements (9)
• Interdictor (3)
= 157 Points

Interdictor Suppression Refit (90)
• Taskmaster Grint (5)
• Engine Techs (8)
• Disposable Capacitors (3)
• Targeting Scrambler (5)
• G7-X Grav Well Projector (2)
• Heavy Ion Emplacements (9)
= 122 Points

Interdictor Suppression Refit (90)
• Wulff Yularen (7)
• Engine Techs (8)
• Disposable Capacitors (3)
• Grav Shift Reroute (2)
• G7-X Grav Well Projector (2)
• Heavy Ion Emplacements (9)
= 121 Points

Squadrons:
= 0 Points

Total Points: 400

And it seems like there are a ton of ways to fly triple Interdictor lists. Vader, Screed, Motti or Konstantine ? ETs or PE? 3 G7s or 3 scramblers? HIEs all around or ICBs? So, my questions are:

1. Has anyone flown triple Interdictor and how did it go?

2. What's the most fun-looking list you can think of?

Okay, if you’re going to go Interdictor crazy, why not try at least one of them as the Combat model?

If there's a reason? I did ask for lists, so by all means, put one in. ☺️

I ran the following list about two years ago. The idea was to maximize objective tokens. It was an interesting list but not the most fun. My opponent started at speed 0 and so we would not get into combat until about round 3. If people were unaware of certain cards, they got upset, so I stopped playing it. I like rolling dice.

Well, you never said it had to be a good list...

I ran this fleet against myself using most of the current metas. It performed so well I was going to run it at Regionals. Only type of list that caused a close match or a near loss was High count Mc30 MSU lists. Most others where not a real problem as long as I went second. Going 1st was a close match every time. Winning and loosing. At the last minute I couldn’t go.. Anyway here she is.

Triple Interdiction (400/400)
Empire

Commander: Grand Admiral Thrawn

Objectives: Fire Lanes, Salvage Run, Station Assault

[flagship] Interdictor Combat Refit (93)
- Grand Admiral Thrawn (32)
- High-Capacity Ion Turbines (8)
- Disposable Capacitors (3)
- Taskmaster Grint (5)
- Projection Experts (6)
= 147 total points

Interdictor Suppression Refit (90)
- Interdictor (3)
- Targeting Scrambler (5)

Interdictor Suppression Refit (90)
- G7-X Grav Well Projector (2)
- Grav Shift Reroute (2)
- Disposable Capacitors (3)
- Wulff Yularen (7)
- Projection Experts (6)
= 110 total points

Squadrons (30/134):
2x Lambda-class Shuttle (30)

How I played was to go second. Slowing all opponents ships to a max of 1 the first round and not get into combat until the earliest 3 but the average I found was 4.

Thrawn has 3 engineering commands so rounds 4-6 are all repairs and Con-fires or Navs

Try in rounds 4-6 to always get double Arc shots. Use shuttles for 2 rounds of fighter defense and token grabs. I always brought down the main attacker ship and some support ships.

Fire lanes is self explanatory but move the tokens near the space station and the Lambda’s on it. I won big on this every time. 9-1 average

Salvage Run is a solid token grab. Should be able to grab all tokens and hide behind obstacles. Average combat round starts round 3. I won on this every time. 7-3 average

Station Assult is the only true one normal people will pick. Great thing about this objective is that the more they attack a station they are not shooting at the Interdictors; and vice versa. Block opponents from a clear shot using obstacles and ships. This was the only one where one or both stations would go down but I would take out there combat ships every time. I would win by points . Expect 6-5 - 8-2 but no real average here could be found.

This was a super fun list. I felt that the more I played tested it the better I got running the list and the more aggressive I got with an ISD in attacking the faster I would loose it. One list a the end of the game where your opponent says to themselves; What the *F* just happen???????

Walk away

Well, now you’ve done it. I’m going to have 3 Interdictors. 😁

Do not run tripledictors it is boring as ****. Tanks like a sponge and punches like one two

Oh yes you kickin my *** last year..... ohhhh I remember!!

I have fun running 2 Interdictors but with the Amazon fire sale on Interdictors folks in the area have been debating the usefulness of 3... I decided to see what I could do with 4...

It is a Janky list and likely not competitive but it's not getting tabled. Your Opponent is going to start at speed 0. I considered Close-range Intel for the red objective for points but it's going to take so long to start fighting I figured Station Assault was better.

I did just order my 3rd Interdictor but unless I borrow one I doubt this list will ever see the light of day.

@Thrindal I will send you pictures when I run this 😂
