2 imperial lists

By coolfishboy, in X-Wing

Just want some feedback on these lists, yes I no I am putting loads of imperial lists up, but I normally fly rebel, so it will be a change for me lol

So what do you reckon for these?

Bounty hunter, recon spec, seismic

Gamma pilot, seismic x3

Total of 98 points

Option 2

Omicron pilot, engine upgrade x2

Obsidian pilot x2

Academy pilot x2

Total of 100 points

The second list looks legit, since it gives you lots of ships while having better shuttles.

The first... is nice for the sake of having tons of bombs, but the lack of missiles or torpedoes on the Bombers is worrying to me, but I could be wrong about that for the sake of preference. They're nice for having decent initiative and lots of hull to chew through, but ehhhhh...

I personally either suggest striking out the third bomber completely and throwing in a cheap TIE Fighter. This gives you points you can add a missile or torpedo each for your bombers, or if you decide to run with three ships you could give a cannon to the Firespray. :3

as they stand BH + 3x bombers is the way better squad.

for a double shuttle squad id try:

Squad#1

omicron group pilot + FCS + Gunner + Engine Upgrade (32)

omicron group pilot + FCS + Gunner + Engine Upgrade (32)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

or

Squad#2

omicron group pilot + FCS + Gunner + Engine Upgrade (32)

omicron group pilot + FCS + Gunner + Engine Upgrade (32)

Dark Curse (16)

Backstabber (16)

or

Squad#3

omicron group pilot + FCS + Gunner + Engine Upgrade (32)

omicron group pilot + Darth Vader Crew (24)

Howlrunner + Swarm Tactics (20)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

First list was for the bombs mainly, takes a bit of the missile luck away

Second list is I want at least 6 ships, with two shuttles preferred

6 ships is tricky but u could try...

omicron group pilot + FCS + Gunner (28)... not having the engine upgrade is not recommended imo

omicron group pilot + Darth Vader Crew (24)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

imo if u wanted to run minimum of 6 ships id go with a single shuttle as add ties from there. Maybe...

100pts

omicron group pilot + Darth Vader Crew (24)... no engine upgrade here because its on a suicide mission!

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

Dark Curse (16)

Backstabber (16)

Howrunner + swarm tactics (20)

100pts

omicron group pilot + FCS + Gunner + Engine Upgrade

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

Howrunner + swarm tactics

imo this gives u the power of the shuttle and a swarm in the same squad instead of playing sub-par loadout on one of ur shuttles ;)

Shuttle swarm + howlrunner is very viable. I suggest Vader shuttle and lots of planned bumping
