Getting Horton some play time

By darthjeff81, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I have long wanted to fly Horton Salm. He seems like the best way to use proton torpedoes and a great Y-wing pilot. I have put together a bit of a list to try and use Horton

Horton Salm (25)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
Proton Torpedoes (4)
Bomb Loadout (0)
R2-D6 (1)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Proton Bombs (5)
Engine Upgrade (4)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
R3-A2 (2)
BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Prototype Pilot (17)
Chardaan Refit (-2)

Prototype Pilot (17)

The A-wings are there to act as blockers. The Gold is a standard stress-warthog. Horton is the centerpiece of the list. I have Proton torps to use his ability. VI to get him up to 10 to move after/fire before a phanton. Proton bombs for general mayhem. Engine to get him shots and the ion turret to add some 360 degree firing and control.

I know this isn't a very competitive list, but I want to give Horton some love. What do you guys think?
