Latts, Cobra and ???

By SlasherHawk, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi all,

Long time lurker on the forums. I am currently looking at ideas for a store championship coming up in my local area in February. We have a practice tournament next weekend and a few games in between.

I primarily play Empire but have recently stocked up on a fair bit of S&V at Christmas so I thought I would take my chances with the new boys this time. (Plus I won't have my raider for another couple of weeks so thought I would use the scum this time)

My list is:

YV-666 : Latts Razzi

K4 Security droid

Weapons Engineer

Kihraxz: Talonbane Cobra

Predator

Engine upgrade

which leaves me at 74 points.

So far I am thinking either:

2 x Z-95 Binayre Pirates

or

Y-wing - Syndicate Thug

Ion Cannon Turret

Unhindge Astromech

Both leaving me at 98pts.

I don't own a K-Wing in order to have a TLT card. My idea is to use Latts ability to drop agility and get off shots while using Cobra as the damage dealer. The other ships would be either be: 2 x Binayre Pirates to be a nuisance and damage droppers or the Syndicate Thug to use his Ion Cannon to make sure Cobra and Latts can get two hits off on those hard to crack ships.

Does anybody have any suggestions or thoughts on these lists. What else could replace the final slot? Is Cobra durable and manoeuvrable enough or should I look at using a Star Viper for better manoeuvrability instead?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I've had some good luck with this list:

YV-666: Latts Razzi (33)

Bossk (2)

Weapons Engineer (3)

Gunner (5)

Talonbane Cobra (28)

Predator (3)

Glitterstim (2)

N'Dru Suhlak (17)

Cluster Missiles (4)

Glitterstim (2)

Veteran Instincts (1)

I've gotten real good use with Latts both using her special and doing damage, with Bossk and gunner it can just cause rerolls for days. N'Dru is basically a kamikaze beast, get him away from the other two and you're rolling 8 dice plus glitterstim, then use Cobra to hammer down the rest. I'm thinking of trying a cloaking device instead of glitterstim when it comes out and definitely adding guidance chips to the Z, got my store champ in a few weeks so im really curious on how it will perform.
