As much as Sun Fac gets posited as a problem, mass Init 4s are wicked nasty.

Indeed. Imo 3 Nantex with Grievous is the better list than Sun+Chertek+Grievous. I mean Sun with Ensnare costs 30 points more than a Pretranaki Ace with Ensnare. Sure his I6 is a big deal (yes you heard me, Finn) and tossing 5 dice is awesome. I tested Sun a bit and wasn't amazed (maybe its because I didnt praticed enough or I am just bad at the game...): Because 1) I don't want a 78 point ship that can die sooo fast and 2) I don't want a 78 point ship whose ability doesn't trigger in many different circumstances. And there are a lot out there. Large Bases are a problem because you can't tractor them and even medium bases could be a problem if one Nantex dies. Having 3 Nantex at I4(!!!) gives me way more options dealing against multiple threats (except Han...)

I decided to fly a Sear Swarm with Cherteck this weekend instead of the Nantex Swarm. Here in Switzerland we have a famous 4 U-Wings list which gives me headaches to face with my Nantex Swarm. So I wanted to be safe and made second place (had good matchups). Chertek did some good work and helped me focusing down certain ships.

But I still think that 3 Nantex are a nasty thing to face with Griveous. Four Nantex is crazy fun but they die fast without a ship which can work as an anchor.

We've got - if I make it - a game night kit tomorrow. I'll have to try the quad nantex rather than my normal five deflection types; I haven't really experimented with Ensnare yet.

You should definetely try it out. It's a strong list even if I think Grievous+3 Nantex is stronger. Flying it also helps if you get paired up against it...

Got battle report against Ani, Obi, Ric. Was an interesting game especially because I wanted to know how the Nantex will do against aces.
