Need to go hunting huge ships

By slimeball, in X-Wing

How is this for a torpedoe bomber? Any suggestions from the scum arsenal that might do a better job. Flies in, uses its primary with focus to launch plasma torpedoes to strip shields, then opens up with the primary + TLT when the torpedoes are exhausted.

Syndicate Thug

Twin Laser Turret

Extra Munitions

Plasma Torpedoes

R4 Agromech

BTL-A4 Y-Wing

Its a plinky death so it will need a couple of turns. Not sure if it can survive

I think the best huge ship hunting is 3 and 4 primary/cannon firepower.

I'd rather take Kavil for 31 points, and taking plasma torps and tlt seems like's you're double stacking on the same function. But I guess it really depends on the rest of your list - at the moment this guy's a pretty juicy target for the initial joust.

I agree with the above, at least in terms of the ship in the OP being a really juicy target. I think you want lots of Khiraxz-es for killing huge ships, but that's just based on my experience with X-Wings in Epic as i haven't flown a Scum Epic list. B-Wings have low-enough agility to make reasonable turbolaser targets, as do Y-Wings, but rolling four evade dice makes X-Wings feel downright nimble and they're reasonably fast so some of them usually live long enough to roll four attack dice against the huge ship. And by that time you're inside the doughnut of most Epic ship weapons.

So like I say, I haven't tested this specifically but the Khiraxz is supposed to be the Scum X-Wing, right?
