2 Vipers and a Firespray

By xXxAngronxXx, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I have been looking at a few lists with these ships and I have come up with something that I believe should work well. The idea is that I need ships that are going to be big enough of a threat that the Firespray wont get shot up immediately.

Firespray: 45 points

Mandalorian Mercenary:

Recon spec

(can't decide on Veteran Instincts or Predator)

Ion cannon(If i take predator this goes)

Engine upgrade

2x Starvipers: 54 points

Black Sun Enforcers with ATs

Anyways, would love some feedback to see what everyone thinks is best.

Predator. Bumping a PS 5 to 7 is just about worthless.

I think its a decent squad.

I'm liking the idea of MandoMercs with Predator and Outlaw Tech. If you K-turn, you get a Focus and a re-roll. If you do any other maneuver, you get a focus and a re-roll. Consistency! At just 40 points, that frees up 3 points for each StarViper. Autothrusters on both and a Seismic Charge for the MandoMerc?

I like your build. I have something similar:

STAR VIPER: Black Sun Enforcer (25)

Autothrusters (2)

STAR VIPER: Black Sun Enforcer (25)

Autothrusters (2)

FIRESPRAY-31: Mandalorian Mercenary (35)

Squad Leader (2)

Seismic Charges (2)

Experimental Interface (3)

K4 Security Droid (3)

The merc focuses or evades then uses squad leader to pass an action to one of the vipeRs. The K4 Droid adds a target lock to the merc most turns while clearing stress from interface.

The vipers certainly can capitalize on the free action. And range 1-2 with squad leader is not too restricting for their good maneuverability.

Thank you so much for making this thread.

I am just now getting into X-Wing, so I don't know all of the power combos yet. I do have three interceptors between the specific expansion and the Imperial Aces box, and I'm told Auto Thrusters are the bomb-diggidy for Interceptors, so I'm planning on purchasing two Star Vipers (the fact that they look badass doesn't hurt). I have little intention to play Scum&Villany, but I do have a Firespray from my compulsive buy of every single Imperial expansion, so this gives me some ideas for a small S&V squad so the models have more to do than just sit on the shelf looking badass.

Glad to see everyone is enjoying the thought of this list!

I have revised the list a bit and have since won 3 games with it.

I noticed that the lvl 1 pilot skill was killing me when it came to going up against bandit squadron pilots or lvl 2 y wings so i decided to take the lvl 3 vipers instead.

My list is now as follows

Firespray

Mandalorian mercenary 41 points

Predator

Recon specialist

Starvipers

2x Black sun vigos 58 points

Auto thrusters

Record 5:1
