Thanks for looking and any comments you give.

I'd go with the Rebel list, its a little more sturdy and forgiving, TIE's can be awesome but swarms can be tricky to fly for a newer player, bumping and losing an action can be death for TIE's

Thank you I liked the look of the rebels list but was given the tie list as an extra source of play but I think I will stick with the rebel list for now

Yeah.

Newer player.

Here is a list I have been having fun with while I get the stuff for my TIE Advanced List. It has done me pretty well, now go out and crush some Rebel scum!

Interceptor Squad:

Soontir Fel (35)
-Royal Guard TIE
-Push the Limit
-Stealth Device
-Autothrusters

Turr Phennir (31)
-Royal Guard TIE
-Veteran Instincts
-Stealth Device
-Autothrusters

Carnor Jax (34)
-Royal Guard TIE
-Push the Limit
-Stealth Device
-Autothrusters

Rebel. Flying a swarm right off the bat will be a tough and frustrating lesson.

But he'll learn the toughest lessons first. Sure you lose a few games, it gives a solid foundation.

Agreed. I've started flying a basic 8-TIE swarm recently and I swear it's done more for my play than any amount of flying boost/barrel roll PS9 shenanigans.

Thanks guys luckily I have all the ships for both my list and will be looking to order the ships to do NH Gunsmiths list aswel
