Semi Swarm in Hyperspace

By Rubales, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi!

I'm thinking about the idea of having a Tie semiswarm, maybe combined with a Tie striker as a flanker.

If I start with Pure Sabbac, for instance, there is enough room for 4 good ties, or maybe 5 generic ones.

What's the best choice? Have anyone tested anything similar?

Pure sabacc wants a shield upgrade.

TIE/ln Fighter - Black Squadron Ace - 27 Black Squadron Ace - (26) Crack Shot (1)

TIE/ln Fighter - Black Squadron Ace - 27 Black Squadron Ace - (26) Crack Shot (1)

TIE/ln Fighter - Black Squadron Ace - 27 Black Squadron Ace - (26) Crack Shot (1)

TIE/ln Fighter - Black Squadron Ace - 27 Black Squadron Ace - (26) Crack Shot (1)

TIE/sk Striker - •“Pure Sabacc” - 50 •“Pure Sabacc” - Confident Gambler (44) Shield Upgrade (6) Total: 158/200

Your left with 42 pts, add a ship??? Upgrade ties to named? Up to you but I would just add a 6th ship I love flying 7 ships.

If we see large base ships in tourneys because Falcons went down crack shot is easier to line up create a laser grid with the crackshot bullseye arks.

At 40 points left add howl for maximum damage on that swarm

Maybe something like this?

=========================
TIE/sk Striker: "Pure Sabacc" (44 + 9)
+ Elusive (3)
+ Shield Upgrade (6)
TIE/ln Fighter: "Howlrunner" (40 + 3)
+ Swarm Tactics (3)
TIE/ln Fighter: "Wampa" (30)

TIE/ln Fighter: "Night Beast" (26)

TIE/ln Fighter: Obsidian Squadron Pilot (24)

I've never flown a tie strike before, so I'm not sure about its upgrades and strategies...

Your pure Sabaac looks pretty good, I usually take predator because mod and a half on 4 dice is pretty great. Strategy wise, use that pre maneuvre boost to get to places they can't easily adapt to while your swarm kicks them in the teeth.

Great, I will give that a try 😉

Thanks for the advice!

Sabacc with SU, Howlie, Iden, and 3 Academies seems like a MEAN little jousting unit
