TV-94 enabled swarm

By eljms, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Trying to decide on a TV-94 enabled swarm. Two ideas.

#1 Dooku Swarm

  • Dooku cloaks and uses sense to try and get blocks, flying ahead of the swarm.
  • Vultures calculate and try and get bulls eye on blocked ship to rip it to shreds.
  • I3 Vultures so that Dooku can fly ahead.
  • Dooku's ability to potentially defend while cloaked and then decloak and shoot back. (Or maybe shoot and then cloak).

#2 Seer Swarm

  • Seer baits and then flies away behind oncoming vulture swarm
  • Try and get some devastating bulls eye shots
  • I3 to really threaten any low initiative lists (e.g. Vet Gunner y-wings etc.)

List 2 is RIGHT where its at imo. I'd use impervium plating before the title tho

I think we drop two of the drones down to I1 and do impervium plating *and* the title :)

Tbh, two I1 blockers is probably good anyhow.

Personally, precise hunters are overcosted. They pay 3 points for a worse predator. I'd prefer to have separatist drone instead, and then use the points on either grappling struts or Impevium plating + Title, granting way more chance to actually trigger impervium.

It's a fair point. So much is riding on getting those bulls-eye arcs though, it seems a shame not to make the most of it when you get them.

If you can roll with 3 of them and double up with Sear and TV, Precise Hunters get real potent. Sure, you won't have every bullseye every turn, but you get enough often enough
