Trying to get them some traction. I love the models but rarely see them played on youtube tournament coverages, and they don't see much table time so with how much fun I had with the Nantex I decided to try and make something competitive.

So the idea is Chertek tugs a ship into the hyena's teeth, and hopefully in a range two of the swarm where energy shell charges and cluster missiles all bully whatever ship is tractored. Of course the trick is getting Chertek in the exact right position. And I think ace lists will dance around this.

I'd cut the Energy Shell Charges from the Vultures, since it'd allow you to switch from 3 Separatist Drones to 4 Trade Fed. The "secret sauce" for Vultures has often seemed to be run more cheaper. Running more cheaper seems to be mostly why Vultures have seen more play than Hyenas: they're kind of the same ship, but the Vulture is cheaper and can be flown in higher numbers.

I do like the idea of the Cluster Missiles Baktoids. Grabbing the locks before shooting means you'll be able to pick and choose which enemies are weakest, and having a pair of Cluster Missiles as cleanup seems nice.

Well just got back from my FLGS's Christmas Party and played dirty Santa, and came away with my THIRD Hyena. I so got to use this thing:
