Bad-Year Blimps - Triple Starfortress lists?

[Surak 402]

So the new bomb and the recent point reduction got me thinking about an old list I tried previously that just didn't have enough tools in its box - well as the chassis got cheaper, I thought I'd see what I could get out of it.

Triple bombers

(52) Cat [MG-100 StarFortress]
(5) Bomblet Generator
(2) Skilled Bombardier
(1) Delayed Fuses
(2) Passive Sensors
Points: 62

(51) Cobalt Squadron Bomber [MG-100 StarFortress]
(5) Proton Bombs
(3) Concussion Bombs
(2) Skilled Bombardier
(1) Delayed Fuses
(6) Trajectory Simulator
Points: 68

(51) Cobalt Squadron Bomber [MG-100 StarFortress]
(5) Proton Bombs
(3) Seismic Charges
(2) Skilled Bombardier
(1) Delayed Fuses
(6) Trajectory Simulator
Points: 68

Total points: 198

 

Now I am in no way expecting this to be the new meta-monster, but I was surprised at how much artillery you could get on the table with these things.

Thoughts?

Been looking into something myself but not with all 3 due to the cost of this guy.

Edon Kappehl (58)
Trajectory Simulator (6)
Skilled Bombardier (2)
Electro-Proton Bomb (11)
Seismic Charges (3)
Total: 80

Being able to lob that bomb up into the enemy lines on Turn 1 is a threat they can't ignore. Even just from a Psychological stand point it effects their game plan.

That's an interesting build, but I've still not been able to convince myself that the 1 shot EPB is worth 11 points, even trajectory'ed up the table - though I do wish I could use my attack wing templates with Trajectory+Skilled Bombardier to launch them 6-straight up the table

Its the fact that it hits everything at Range 0-2 that sells it for me. Thats a huge splash.

Oh I won't disagree on the potential output, and in Epic games (which our group did regularly before the world went mad) I would be 100% behind them. But in a standard 200/6 I struggle to convince myself that they are worth it, even for the board control

You know that TS is only System Phase?

Ah, that there is some very important wording that i missed lol. Reading is important.

Ok, still, the ability to handbrake a Clustermine into someones path can't be sniffed at i guess.
