My first Vader list

By MasterThrawn, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Picked up ISD and am anxious to try some stuff. Basically, the opponent has to choose which tank to go for

Vader Attempt

Faction: Galactic Empire
Points: 400/400

Commander: Darth Vader

Assault Objective: Advanced Gunnery
Defense Objective: Contested Outpost
Navigation Objective: Superior Positions

[ flagship ] Interdictor-class Suppression Refit (90 points)
- Darth Vader ( 36 points)
- Taskmaster Grint ( 5 points)
- Disposable Capacitors ( 3 points)
- Targeting Scrambler ( 5 points)
- G7-X Grav Well Projector ( 2 points)
= 141 total ship cost

Imperial II-Class Star Destroyer (120 points)
- Devastator ( 10 points)
- Strategic Adviser ( 4 points)
- Electronic Countermeasures ( 7 points)
- H9 Turbolasers ( 8 points)
- Leading Shots ( 4 points)
= 153 total ship cost

1 Boba Fett ( 26 points)
2 TIE Defender Squadrons ( 32 points)
1 IG-88 ( 21 points)
1 Morna Kee ( 27 points)
= 106 total squadron cost

On the interdictor swap Grint for Brunson. On the isd swap out h9s for xi7s. And get rid of leading shots, waste of points with Vader.

Don't own XI7s and I don't really like Brunson and love Grint. but I agree with leading shots

I truthfully wouldn’t recommend this archetype for Vader. He gets better the more ships you have, and as is you’re effectively paying for two 18 point reroll upgrades (you’re obligated to have a commander, of course, but Thrawn or Motti would be all over this.) Alternately you could move away from a major squad investment in favor of something that benefits from Vader like Raiders, which don’t need OEs/Veteran Gunners under him. It might also be worth considering Intel Officer on Devastator, which allows you to discard one of your own tokens to trigger Devastator immediately whether they like it or not. And while I really like Grint on the Interdictor, I agree with above advice on Brunson due to her synergy with both the title and the scrambler.
