Hi!

I'm thinking about the idea of building a hyperspace list including some ties, but without being a swarm. Something like this:

(40) Howlrunner

(40) Iden Versio

(23) Academy pilot

(53) Soontir Fel + crackshot

(44) Countdown

No room for upgrade cards (only crackshot for Soontir). Just 200 points.

My idea is to fly the 3 ties together, with soontir and the striker as flankers.

What do you think about it?

Thanks!

Fragile. Potentially hard hitting. Its a gambly sort of list, but a fine one

I'd roll with Sababb tho, not CD. Makes their decisions harder still

Yep, I tested it yesterday and it wasn't bad, but it didn't feel entirely right...

Next weekend I will test a variation, replacing versio by a barrage-bomber, something like this:

(43) Howlrunner + swarm tactics

(23) Academy pilot

(37) Scimitar Sq + barrage rockets

(53) Soontir Fel + crackshot

(44) Countdown

Howlrunner will fly besides academy and bomber ties, with Soontir flanking and Countdown as a kind of 'bait' trying to absorb the damage... I'm not sure, but i will give a try :-)

I would strongly advise you to keep Iden. Iden and Howlie are a dream team

They're a dream team, but with limited numbers, I don't believe you're getting enough return on investment for Howlie or Iden. I'd go with Iden and your prefered mix of ships, and keep Iden in the vicinity of who you want to keep alive the most. Howlie likes larger parties...
