MasterThrawn 7 Posted January 21, 2019 Picked up ISD and am anxious to try some stuff. Basically, the opponent has to choose which tank to go for Vader Attempt Faction: Galactic Empire Points: 400/400 Commander: Darth Vader Assault Objective: Advanced Gunnery Defense Objective: Contested Outpost Navigation Objective: Superior Positions [ flagship ] Interdictor-class Suppression Refit (90 points) - Darth Vader ( 36 points) - Taskmaster Grint ( 5 points) - Disposable Capacitors ( 3 points) - Targeting Scrambler ( 5 points) - G7-X Grav Well Projector ( 2 points) = 141 total ship cost Imperial II-Class Star Destroyer (120 points) - Devastator ( 10 points) - Strategic Adviser ( 4 points) - Electronic Countermeasures ( 7 points) - H9 Turbolasers ( 8 points) - Leading Shots ( 4 points) = 153 total ship cost 1 Boba Fett ( 26 points) 2 TIE Defender Squadrons ( 32 points) 1 IG-88 ( 21 points) 1 Morna Kee ( 27 points) = 106 total squadron cost Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Packerman29 151 Posted January 21, 2019 On the interdictor swap Grint for Brunson. On the isd swap out h9s for xi7s. And get rid of leading shots, waste of points with Vader. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MasterThrawn 7 Posted January 21, 2019 Don't own XI7s and I don't really like Brunson and love Grint. but I agree with leading shots Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Jabbawookie 4,766 Posted January 21, 2019 I truthfully wouldn’t recommend this archetype for Vader. He gets better the more ships you have, and as is you’re effectively paying for two 18 point reroll upgrades (you’re obligated to have a commander, of course, but Thrawn or Motti would be all over this.) Alternately you could move away from a major squad investment in favor of something that benefits from Vader like Raiders, which don’t need OEs/Veteran Gunners under him. It might also be worth considering Intel Officer on Devastator, which allows you to discard one of your own tokens to trigger Devastator immediately whether they like it or not. And while I really like Grint on the Interdictor, I agree with above advice on Brunson due to her synergy with both the title and the scrambler. 2 Muelmuel and Mad Cat reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
