Cpt ObVus 1,193 Posted February 18 Ok, so I’m trying not to be afraid of the Magnite Tractor Beam, but I think the potential of it just terrifies me. Not that it’s a bad thing, I guess, but... I dunno. Anyway, imagine something like this: Ultra-Magnites Author: Cpt ObVus Faction: Rebels Commander: Admiral Raddus [flagship] Starhawk-Class Battleship Mark I (140) - Admiral Raddus (26) - Concord (12) - Jyn Erso (4) - Leading Shots (4) - Strategic Adviser (4) - Raymus Antilles (7) - Magnite Crystal Tractor Beam Array (10) = 207 points MC75 Ordnance Cruiser (100) - Profundity (7) - Electronic Countermeasures (7) - Hardened Bulkheads (5) - Intel Officer (7) - Assault Concussion Missiles (7) - External Racks (3) - Caitken and Shollan (6) = 142 points Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36) - Garel's Honor (4) - External Racks (3) - Ordnance Experts (4) = 47 points = 0 points ...the basic idea being that the Magnites drop the opponent’s best ship to speed zero, Raddus drops Profundity, Profundity drops Garel’s Honor, and the Alliance obliterates pretty much anything. It’s not optimized, probably needs a bit more of a bid, but this is the sort of nothing-can-be-done scenario that the Magnites might create, and it kinda freaks me out. Opinions? Is it a good list? How would you improve it? How would you fight it? 1 RogueCommander reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogueCommander 236 Posted February 18 (edited) This is my version. Hasn’t lost yet and deletes whatever you want. Love it, and almost feels unfair. Haven’t rigorously tested it yet though. I think I like Boarding Troopers better than Jyn, but she might work. You need Cham on Garels Honor. He makes people very sad.

frankalready 2 Posted February 19 I've been running this with some success - the cham/rex combo may be a bit much, but it is satisfying when it lands Name: Stardrop Faction: Rebel Commander: Admiral Raddus Assault: Surprise Attack Defense: Rift Ambush Navigation: Solar Corona Starhawk Battleship Mark I (140) • Admiral Raddus (26) • Kyrsta Agate (5) • Expert Shield Tech (5) • Weapons Battery Techs (5) • Leading Shots (4) • Linked Turbolaser Towers (7) • Magnite Crystal Tractor Beam Array (10) • Concord (12) = 214 Points MC75 Ordnance Cruiser (100) • Hondo Ohnaka (2) • Ordnance Experts (4) • Electronic Countermeasures (7) • External Racks (3) • Assault Proton Torpedoes (5) • Profundity (7) = 128 Points Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36) • Captain Rex (5) • Cham Syndulla (5) • External Racks (3) = 49 Points Squadrons: = 0 Points Total Points: 391 1 Kaashifar reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
