Synel 77 Posted September 24 Named for one of the pilots in the new LAAT/i, this is an attempt to make use of both the pseudo-fire control ship ability in tandem with Warthog’s team persistence. And Mace is in here to be as much of a brawler as the rest of them. Plo Koon‘s reinforce and Dedicated provides protection for the LAAT/i, while concentrated fire provides rerolls or Wolfpack provides locks for the Torrents.

theBitterFig 11,598 Posted September 24 I really want to find a way to put Syncrhonized Console in there, but don't see a great way. With Warthog handling the rerolls, getting the locks for the missiles is the only issue. Warthog can if the Torrents are attacked, but an opponent can ignore them. Warthog also prevents Init-kills, so the risk of one daisy in the chain being cut out is a lot lower, too. However, even at only 4 points for the squad, I'm having trouble seeing the right way to accomplish it, and it isn't like Mace is that high init...

Pa Weasley 409 Posted September 24 I was thinking something similar but between themes and my inexplicable need to make an all clone force I have Wolffe with R4-P and expert handling in place of Mace. It leaves room for synchronized console on the Torrents and still 9 points to muck with. Thinking missiles on Warthog but that's what experimentation is for.

Synel 77 Posted September 24 If Mace is bumped down to Luminara, that allows the extra points to put synchronized console on everyone for 199. And that might make the joust even better. Luminara can threaten as a loose flank. If the enemy doesn’t engage the clones straight on, then her ability will be active, Forcing token spends or enabling the Clones to be a little more defensible. And then, what does the opponent do? They have to shoot at one of the ships, and at that point, Wolfpack triggers, handing out at least one target lock, and that’s all that’s needed. 1 Gupa-nupa reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xanatos135 64 Posted September 24 I was thinking more in something like this: Warthog and the torrents all focus, and they are just a wall waiting to be shot at. Whoever the enemy shoots gets a lock, which unleashes the 3 double modded concussion missile attacks. Obi wan can join the party too if he's at range 3 for sync console/wokfpack. "Warthog" (54) Concussion Missiles (6) Wolf Pack (4) Synchronized Console (1) Ship total: 65 Half Points: 33 Threshold: 5 Gold Squadron Trooper (25) Concussion Missiles (6) Synchronized Console (1) Ship total: 32 Half Points: 16 Threshold: 3 Gold Squadron Trooper (25) Concussion Missiles (6) Synchronized Console (1) Ship total: 32 Half Points: 16 Threshold: 3 Obi-Wan Kenobi (49) Delta-7B (21) Synchronized Console (1) Ship total: 71 Half Points: 36 Threshold: 3 Total: 200 Also you can substitute the concussions in Warthog for diamond boron, it's just that I don't own any copy. 1 Synel reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xanatos135 64 Posted September 24 Oops those should be blue squadron veterans, otherwise it won't work unless Warthog is the one who locks 🤦♂️ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonikgav 329 Posted September 24 Ahsoka then instead of Obi? Better action economy and 3's across the board? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plo could take a lock and pass it in case the whole wolfpack thing doesn't work. But Ashoka's ability is very good, and she is cheap... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She opens up I think 9 points for a bid or more upgrades. Might even be tempted to bump up the Pilots on the Torrents to named guys (Tucker & Axe?) or even Y-Wings if possible though i suppose they can't take missiles.

Instead of a Jedi in the Aethersprite, and blue squadron torrents, I am using golds and using the extra points to sneak in 2 ARCs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
