Here's the straight-to-video look at my TIEs in a recent tournie:
My 8 TIE Swarm at a June 29th tournie…
Awesome battle report dude. Thanks for showing that 8 Tie's actually can kick ass.
Boat load of TIE's, stull useful 
The TIE Swarm has still got it! I've been flying a 6 ship squad at the tournies, but quite fond of the 8 ship build too!
I rather like 3 Obsidians and 5 Academies.
Based on your opponent's squad I'm not very surprised that you won, but only losing one TIE even after the Assault Missiles -- excellent! You did a really good job of keeping all your guns pointed at the right targets. Well done!
