That list can really bring the pain, as everyone but Howl shoots with 3-4 dice often enough, and the crazy interceptors, despite moving a good bit earlier than the rest of the team (9-8-7-4-4) are amazing at lining up shots that Howl can then go boost.Erulethonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-64168100761693211672013-10-23T14:43:37.797-07:002013-10-23T14:43:37.797-07:00Interesting, I don't think that's necessar...Interesting, I don't think that's necessary. PS9 should be fine on getting Turr to go first in shooting and thus moving to a desired location. I've been running these guys for several games now and I haven't seen a problem with them together. Did you have issues with them if they're in the same list? Can you give specific examples of issues caused when you have/don't have Initiative?HEROhttp://lkhero.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-86630471812715406362013-10-23T14:15:01.456-07:002013-10-23T14:15:01.456-07:00A lot of guys prefer having Turr OR Soontir Fel an...A lot of guys prefer having Turr OR Soontir Fel and not both. Turr with Veteran Instincts likes to have initiative, so he can shoot first and get his free move before they shoot back, and that means writing a list at 98 or 99 pts to stack the odds. With Turr, also remember that you can't do the same action more than once per turn, so you can't barrel roll and then barrel roll again after shooting (same thing with boosting and boosting of course). Some folks do that wrong with free actions.<br /><br />Meanwhile Soontir Fel likes to NOT have initiative so he can move dead last and reposition himself carefully after every enemy ship has been placed, and help with that you basically have to spend the entire 100 pts and hope for the best.<br /><br />Another simple but scary list I've seen using the Imperial Aces cards had:<br />Carnor Jax w/ PTL and Targeting Computer<br />3x Royal Guard w/ Veteran Instincts<br /><br /><br />4 Interceptors with PS8 and no need to fly in formations at all, which makes them a bit less vulnerable to bombs and Assault Missiles (which lots of people take to deal with ye olde Howlrunner TIE swarms).ImmateriumPresshttp://immaterium.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
