    Thanks!
    I've now (nearly) finished my Vault Dweller.  Still need to paint a 13 on his back, but I'm going to do that with a yellow marker.

    I apologize for not reading your post correctly, however you can forgive me for thinking you were following along with the current topic asking for an apology and explanation for the app rather than hijacking a thread to add your own CS issues to the discussion.
     
    Might I suggest you contact Asmodee support instead of FFG?

    Alright heck with it, I thought about making my own topic for a bit and now that I have two minis finished I think I can justify it!  Here's my mostly-finished Ghoul and Super Mutant minis.  Basing still TBD, and as I look at the super mutant I see some details I want to fix.  Either way, I'm proud of these two.

    We decided to treat it the same as monsters, where the person flipping the tile gets to decide which spot to put it in. Couldn't find anything explicit in the rulebook so that was the closest thing to a precedent to follow.

    DoctorHam got a reaction from Fnoffen in Important question for painters: What vault is your deweller from?   
    Debating between 13 and 21.  Fallout 3 was my first foray into the series, but between that and New Vegas I was hooked on post-apocalypse settings for good.  New Vegas was one I enjoyed a heck of a lot more for sure, but the Vault 21 jumpsuit you get there isn't as iconic as 13 or 101.  Flip side is I never played Fallout 1 to completion.  I'll probably wind up going with 13, though, just because it's more recognizable and pays better homage to the series as a whole.

    DoctorHam got a reaction from Handsome G in Imperial 400-pt "Carrier Group" - Listbuilding advice needed!   
    Thanks for all the help, guys!
     
     
    I had overlooked flight controllers, but that would actually be great, yeah.  I was a little worried about Dengar being spread too thin, so I took Chirpy, but between him and the Advanced (along with Controllers) I agree, my bases are covered.
     
     
    I am not yet a fan of just swarms of TIE Fighters.  In both of my games, they just got bowled over.  I might try it later though.  That said, you make a good point about Motti.  I think moving him to a VSD is a great idea.  Thank you!
     
     
    Wulf does sound interesting.  I may have to look into that for later tweaks.  And the multi-aggressor build could be cool too, but I hesitate at the idea of buying 4 Rogues packs.  I'll have to playtest that.  On the whole though, thank you for all the input!
     
    I think I'm going to roll with this list for my next game, taking into account the advice y'all gave me here:
     
    http://armadawarlords.hivelabs.solutions/view_list.php?token=6631
     
    ISD II
    --Relentless
    --Flight Controller
    --Boosted Comms
    --ECM
     
    VSD I
    **Admiral Motti
    --Phylon Q7 Tractor Beams
     
    VSD I
    --Phylon Q7 Tractor Beams
     
    Squadrons
    --Major Rhymer
    --Dengar
    --2x TIE Bombers
    --2x TIE Advanced
     
    The tractor beams are a weird choice, I know, but after it was pointed out that having comms on all 3 was a bit redundant, I thought this might be a good alternative, to help keep smaller ships in range of my black dice.  May end up dropping the Q7s for a Firespray or maybe a generic JumpMaster, I dunno.  Also I swapped Most Wanted for Advanced Gunnery, thinking I could mark the VSD without Motti as the objective ship, making a target priority conundrum for my opponent.

    I too am an imperial carrier fan and have been building the majority of my lists around them as of late. I have also been testing combos to support carrier groups in my recent games. I'll share a few things i've discovered, take what you need, hope it helps.
    Howlrunner + a few interceptors is awesome
    Chiraneau + mauler is broken (or dengar)
    VSDs and ISDs don't really need expanded hangers or boosted comms. They work well vanilla. Important to note: VSDs speed stinks so don't over extend your reach else you'll want those boosted comms. Still, they are the most cost effective imperial Carrier we have...
    Two best commanders for carriers: tarkin and motti. In fact i can never decide between the two.. tarkin is expensive but those tokens every round add tons of flexibility especially with sqaudron tokens. Motti is just cheap and adds health to your carriers.
    Tie fighters are amazing for 8 points. Did i mention they are cheap?
    Flight controllers are good, though i tend to just drop them and put those points towards more tie fighters. You pay 6 points to add one anti squadron die to squadrons you activate, or you can pay 2 more points for another squadron next to howlrunner with 4 anti squadron dice and a re-roll. Plus you can use that tie fighter with rhymer for a 5o/5o shot at damaging a capital ship.
    Did i mention tie fighters are cheap yet?
    ISDs are awe inspiring though not invincible. If your ISD gets picked on you will lose it (and alot of points). It's a huge target that will more than likely be up front due to it's faster speed. You should consider moving motti off to a VSD to spread some points around.
    More tie fighters! (They are like the imperial version of cowbell)

    I too, have been putting a lot of thought into an Imperial carrier. There are a handful of threads also covering carrier concepts (and swarms), just prior to this post
    Here are a few insights...
    Take a look at "flight controllers". I personally think, they are clutch for helping clear enemy squadrons.
    You're only packing 6-7 squadrons. You only need one carrier. For instance,in list two...I would drop boosted comms off both the VSDs, use those points for something else (like VSD IIs).
    Admiral Chiraneau and Dengar, in the same list, is borderline redundant.

    I've been painting 40k minis for a few years now, but this was my first X-Wing repaint. After a lot of deliberation, I finally came down to a list I wanted to play for WarGamesCon tomorrow, including Kavil.
    So I says to myself, "Self, you need a custom Y-Wing for your Kavil list." And I answers myself, "But what do I do? Stripes and unit markings have no place on the ship of a mercenary!" And so onto the internet I went, and painted this Y-Wing based off of a similar pattern from the Star Wars Galaxies paint schemes. I thought it was thematically appropriate for the ace pilot of my list.
    Still gotta do some cleanup on him, and going to think about some scorch markings, but for now I I'm happy with how it turned out.
