Hi all,

i've recently purchased second Tie Advanced and wanted to make use of it so i came up with this idea:

Tempest Squadron Pilot + Concussion Missiles x2 (25 points each)

Academy Pilot - 12 points

Howlrunner - 18 points

Backstabber + Stealth Device - 19 points

Plan is to fly Tempest Pilots with Academy and Howlrunner, missiles should increase firepower. Backstabber serves as a decoy and flies alone trying to flank enemy.

I've also been thinking about such list(but i don't have Bombers yet):

Scimitar Squadron Pilot + Concussion Missiles x2

Howlrunner with Swarm Tactics

Academy Pilot x2

Backstabber

Total 100 points

I'm not a tournament player so please keep that in mind when trying to convience me that Advaced Ties are bad.

Please comment and share your thoughts.

Both lists are solid. Howlrunner swarms with bombers are not unheard of. I'm not sure about the double advanced one, maybe go with a single and one bomber for an extra mixed swarm and see how that feels. Combining both you could get:

Howl + stealth = 21

Tempest+ Conc= 25

Scimitar+ Conc = 20

Academy x2= 24

90pts.

Add a bomb and upgrade your PS on missile carriers or drop that advanced to a bomber and add a third academy or turn your academies into named ties.

i really like ur bomber list, its not fully reliant on the missiles hitting to win (because they wont always hit their target).

Im starting to really like Backstabber - more than Dark Curse who is very defensive (which is still good) but backstabber u can break away from howlrunner and he is still good (using him as a flanker).

if i was playing two tie-advanced id play...

Vader + engine upgrade

Maarek Steele + engine upgrade + Push The Limit

thats 67pts, leaving u 33pts to add.

depends what ships u have available.

thats a bounty hunter

or soontir fell + PTL + stealth device

or Backstabber + Mauler Mithel.

or Turr Phennir + PTL + add missiles to Darth Vader?

myself, i'm a fan of homing missiles due to their consistency of 3-4 hits on average almost every time if you don't have lady luck pissed off at you for one reason or another

so in list one i'd put in at least one homing missile over a concussion seeing as you have the extra point to do so

and in list number 2, maybe drop the swarm tactics seeing as you're not competitive and have no real use for it, and replace both concussions

God I love bombers.those ships are lovely looking! I'm looking at running Vader with squad leader, two bombers and a tie, pos nightbeast as a nice list to play against my lad.

A little one - try the splash damage missiles.if toy can unload 3 early doors any list that relies on close proximity synergies suffers.the usual named X wing tri that is built to keep wedge up dislikes this as everything is hurt early, obv tie swarms lose REAL fast.

I've been considering trying to run Vader and Maarek Steele in this configuration with a doomshuttle. It's related to my shuttle plus Vader plus Phennir list, basically one sniper and 2 ninjas.

Of course I've also been wanting to run two Strom Squadron advanced plus engine upgrades with Dark Curse, Night Beast, and Winged Gundark, so what do I know

By 'doomshuttle,' do you mean FCS + Gunner, or Vader + Gunner? If it's the latter, you can't run that with Vader in his Advanced. Just a heads up.

FCS+Gunner+ Engine Upgrade. Ripped it off from SableGryphon. Although I should add that in the Vader and Phennir version, I use Daredevil on Vader and use Captain Yorr's shuttle to pull stress off of him.

Thank you all for your comments. The list with Vader and Stele is cool but i really would like to stick to more ships, sort of a swarmish build.

I'm defenitely going to include Homing Missiles, good call! Replacing one advanced with a bomber is really neat, i'll try it once i get my hands on a bomber.

Thanks guys for all the ideas!
