SoI'm going to my first torny at the end of the month and this is the list I had an idea of taking.

YT-2400: · Eaden Vrill (32)

Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

Tactical Jammer (1)

HWK-290: · Jan Ors (25)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Blaster Turret (4)

Recon Specialist (3)

X-WING: · Biggs DarkLighter (25)

· R3-A2 (2)

I want to do something that's not the normal fat Han oor high pilot skill phanthom or any of the normal torny bulids.

Looks meaty and good to me. I'd fly that list. It at least has a chance against most popular lists.

I assume you know this, but in case you don't, Eaden Vrill's ability doesn't work for secondary weapons. That being said, in this list I am okay with that.

I would also consider dropping to a Fringer, dropping Tactical Jammer, and adding a 3 pt upgrade to one of the ships. I'm thinking Moldy Crow on Jan Ors, or a hull upgrade on either Jan or Biggs. Hexk, you could drop R3A2 as well to give yourself 5 pts to work with. That'd give you, say, 5 pts for Outrider Title in the Fringer, or Gunner, or move To Moldy Crow to Jan and add Engine. Lots of good options.

I don't want to say "Don't play that" but here are some things to consider:

Jan's ability causes Stress. Stress means no actions until you relieve it. The HWK dial isn't good at relieving stress. The Blaster Turret requires a Focus to use and no actions will mean no focus which means no shooting.

Vrill's ability only applies to Primary weapon attacks. I do like Tactical Jammer assuming you're flying Biggs behind it to try to draw off fire.

The R3-A2 may let you hand out stress at the cost of gaining stress. Now you probably want Focus with Biggs to help him avoid damage so dumping stress can make him more predictable. Then again you're probably trying to fly him into Vrill's shadow.
