Final Store Championship list... Or rather 'Lists'

By HoundsTooth, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm soon going to be 'rocking up' at my last Store Championship for this season and I'm having difficulty choosing between three lists. So far this year I've been to two tournaments, the first I flew an Imperial list (Boba Fett and Kenkirk), the second I flew Rebels (BXXZZZ). So for this one I'm flying Scum & Villainy. I've got three lists that utilise the M3-A Interceptor ('cos I've been practising with them and they fly a little like A-Wings which I love flying!) but I can't decide which to take...

List 1 - Swarm

5 x Cartel Spacer + Heavy Scyk + Mangler Cannon

List 2 - Control

Torkil Mux + Ion Cannon Turret

2 x Cartel Spacer + Heavy Scyk + Flechette Cannon

2 x Cartel Spacer + Heavy Scyk + Mangler Cannon

List 3 - Erm..?

Mandalorian Mercenary + Lone Wolf + Recon Specialist

3 x Cartel Spacer + Heavy Scyk + Mangler Cannon

So good people of the interwebs... Any thoughts? ;)

List one seems to strike my fancy as a nice one to run. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck on what you will run.

List one strikes me as extremely squishy. Compared to ye olde Academy swarm, you're actually down an attack dice (losing three "TIEs" in exchange for an extra dice on the last 5) and 9 HP. I'm not sure the critical hits generated by the Manglers will be enough to compensate.

I would personally prefer one of the other two, probably the third. The Merc provides some staying power and will give the opponent something else to shoot at while the fragile Scyks attempt to flank. Though I don't know how many times you'll be able to activate Lone Wolf with three other friendlies vying for space...
