Just Starting

By Hunkin1983, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi just started playing X-Wing last months

I'm currently running this

TIE Phantom

+ •"Whisper" [32]

+ Veteran Instincts [1]

+ Fire Control System [2]

+ Recon Specialist [3]

+ Advanced Cloaking Device [4]

= 42

TIE Bomber

+ Scimitar Squadron Pilot [16]

+ Munitions Failsafe [1]

+ Proton Bombs [5]

+ Ion Pulse Missile [3]

+ Ion Pulse Missile [3]

+ Advanced Proton Torpedos [6]

= 34

TIE Fighter

+ Academy Pilot [12]

= 12

TIE Fighter

+ Academy Pilot [12]

= 12

100 points

But is there anything I could change to make it a better list. Whisper Flanks picks off one ship at a time and 2T/F escort the Bomber to cause alittle a mayhem. On the other

I would suggest Rebel captive instead of Recon Spec, however if you can find two points changing that to a gunner is 'standard buzzsaw whisper'

also with wave 7 coming in hot might i suggest Extra Munitions instead of one of those Ion Pulse missles

with this build in mind i have:

Whisper

VI ACD FCS Gunner (44)

Scimitar (30)

Extra Munitions, Advanced homing Missles, Ion Pulse missles, proton Bombs, Munitions failsafe

Tie fighter (24)

Academy x2

leaving 2 points for bid.

Ok thanks I'll give it a try when I can pick up punisher

That's a really expensive bomber. At that point, I think using the TIE punisher instead is probably better.

Cutlass w/ FCS, extra muni + 7 points for ordnance (I think IPM/plasma and clusters) = 32

No initiative bid, unless you downgrade Gunner on Whisper to Rebel Captive. Since that's not a bad idea, you could even slap on seismics with the left over 2 pts instead of bidding initiative
