Well, since everyone else is doing it, I thought I might as well post my list as well. As the only Imperial player among us, I have had the unique opportunity of using the Phantoms and Defenders to death. After some initial success with both Phantoms and Defenders it has quickly become apparent (whilst getting annihilated by Crazy’s anti-Phantom list) that these ships have their limits.  Whilst I love them both dearly, the meta has definitely shifted to cater for these unorthodox threats, and will continue to do so as the new Rebel Aces and the pair of large turret ships are released later in the year. So I've been doing some thinking as to what I do now. One of the things I’ve come to notice whenever TommyH or Crazy bring up the latest tournament results is that there’s always a TIE swarm in the top 10. More often than not there is a swarm list placing; the most recent I’ve seen was a first place with 4 Obsidians and 4 Academies. However your conventional TIE swarm works something

So I'm absolutely loving X-Wing at the moment, along with all of the 40k Warzone Team. I was a tad envious of TIE Swarm lists and how amazing they looked on the table top, however I refuse to play Imperials! I played around with various Z-95 Headhunter Swarms and while they look great on paper, I just don't think they would perform as well as TIE Swarms. They would however, have a smidgen more durability and higher Pilot Skill but I wanted to have a bit more flavour than simply spamming Z95's. I also needed to factor in that to deal with Phantoms and faster ships such as the A-Wing, E-Wing and TIE Interceptors, I needed to hand out stress tokens. To make stress tokens really effective you also need to throw in some Ion Token handouts, so this is what I came up with: Z-95 Head Hunter - 21pts - Airen Cracken - Swarm Tactics  Z-95 Head Hunter - 22pts - Lieutenant Blount  - Swarm Tactics  - Ion Pulse Missiles   Z-95 Head Hunter - 15pts  - Bandit Squadron Pilot - Ion Pulse Missi
