It looks good. My one suggestion is whether you want to fly them as a 'block' or put Vader as a Flanker.

  • If he's not 'going up the centre' you can probably manage without Hate.
  • Yes, Iden Versio is awesome but you're paying nearly the price of another TIE for your 'extra life'.
  • I'd be tempted to drop Iden to Del Meeko - you save 10 points, and you get a wide area-effect toughness boost that affects Vader as well - and save enough to give old tall, dark and asthmatic afterburners to dramatically up his manoeuvrability.
  • If you want a touch of extra resilience for Howlrunner as compensation, elusive still fits in the points.
