IG-88 and the Kavil-ry

By Budgernaut, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm getting ready for a tournament and the only thing I've had a lot of practice with is a dual-Aggressor build. But I have a custom Y-wing I really want to show off. I've considered combining them into the following list:

IG-88A (36)

-IG-2000 (0)

IG-88D (36)

-IG-2000 (0)

Kavil (24)

-Autoblaster Turret (2)

-Expert Handling or Stay On Target (2)

TOTAL: 100 pts.

Kavil uses one of the two elite pilot talents to try to get in range-1 of a target. Most of the time I hope to not need it. But I feel like the potential of 4 uncacellable dice is too good to pass up. In this build, The IG-88 duo lacks the tricks I'm used to, but it gives me a boost in max damage per round.

In an alternate build, I'd drop IG-88A and go for Guri.

IG-88D (36)

-IG-2000 (0)

Guri (30)

Kavil (24)

-Autoblaster Turret (2)

-Expert Handling or Stay On Target (2)

-Unhinged Astromech (1)

-Engine Upgrade (4)

TOTAL: 99 points

I'm not sure where to put the last 1 point. It could be Veteran Instincts, or Adrenaline Rush on Guri or IG-88. It could be Inertial Dampeners on IG-88. Or I could just leave it. This squad gives me more options for getting Kavil in range, keeps the same damage output and almost the same maneuverability, but I lose 3 shields. Is Engine Upgrade worth 3 shields? I'm not so sure. But the Unhinged Astromech is pretty tempting.
