I've got a tournament on Sunday and am still vaccilating over my list. I want to run 2 TLT Y-Wings plus a big ship.

I'd have liked the big ship to be Dash but can't make a build I'm happy with for the free points so I think I'm going to go with Scum Ys.

Which of the following would you recommend?

IG-88B: http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/346740

Kath: http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/348511

Or maybe a cheaper Kath so the TLTs can have Agromechs instead of Unhinged Astromechs and output more consistent damage: http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/348704

Thanks

take kath, knock off stims, r4s; enjoy

I like your IG88 list better. More damage and harder to kill than Kath. If the big ship dies, you lose, so don't bother putting more points into the y-wings, I say.

I have lately experimented a bit with dual TLT aggressor list, or The WhyBots as I like to call it

And the version of the list you have there is the one I’m considering to be the one best. Sure it would be nice to have Glitterstim, but the trade of is either HLC > Mangler or loos the golden Unhinged Astromech. Well there are some other valid tradeoffs. Like LW > VI and AS > FCS, but you lose too much survivability for my taste.

So vote is for that one. My advice on the other hand is to take the list you have more experience with piloting, hence it’s a tournament.

Thanks for the advice, guys.

I think I'm going to risk dropping the HLC to a Mangler so I can have a more defensive build on IG-88. I'm thinking that PtL and AS will allow me to turtle and Glitterstim will let me get out of trouble or S-loop without worrying.

I'd rather keep the HLC. defensive is nice to a point, but at the end of the day, you win by killing stuff. HLC gets the job done...

Yeah, it was a tough choice. Ideally I'd have been able to have had PtL, AS, Autothrusters and HLC on IG-88. But it's 51 points.

My thinking is that it will be a tempting target and hopefully my opponents will chase IG-88 but not be able to kill him while the TLTs wear them down.

Went 2-2 in the end. The first loss was Dash-Miranda and I had Dash down to 1 hull and Miranda down to 2 but my opponent managed a few nice bombs drops that ripped the game his way by the end. The other loss was against a TIE swarm where I let them catch my Ys with all their guns. Bad flying on my part from which I never recovered. But I beat a Whisper, Soontir & Dark Curse list and a Soontir & Howlrunner mini swarm list.

The most valuable lesson I learnt was to offer up IG-88 as a tempting target and lead them away from the unexpectedly manoeuvrable Ys. Grouping up always ended badly and IG worked best when I didn't try to get back into the fight too quickly. Also, Unhinged Astromech Ys are amazingly manoeuvrable and caught my opponents off guard several times.
