TLT's @ Store Champs

By TaeSWXW, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've decided I would rather be that guy and continue to play Scum then have to buy a few epic ships and play Rebels or Imperials - so I'm bringing 4x TLT's to the Store Championship season.

Of course there is the classic TLT Thug Life list:

- 4x [25] Syndicate Thug (18) + Twin Laser Turret (6) + Unhinged Astromech (1)

But what about some alternative that not only shows off some personal style but brings something valuable to the table? First up, Thugs + Mux:

- 3x [25] Syndicate Thug (18) + Twin Laser Turret (6) + Unhinged Astromech (1)

- 1x [25] Torkil Mux (19) + Twin Laser Turret (6)

This list, flown in a loose bubble, makes entering the donut hole undesirable. The challenge is getting enough guns on target to make a Mux'd opponent pay for his infringement on your personal space.

Alternatively, here is what I like to call the Time Bomb:

- 3x [25] Syndicate Thug (18) + Twin Laser Turret (6) + Unhinged Astromech (1)

- 1x [25] Spice Runner (16) + Twin Laser Turret (6) + Greedo (1) + Dead Man's Switch (2)

Firing at PS1 the Spice Runner will have the advantage of shooting at a target with (hopefully) no shields allowing for a consistent application of Greedo's face up damage. If you opponent chooses to target the Spice Runner, on the other hand, you can fly him in close to serve as a distraction and flying bomb.

Suggestions? Ideas?

Played against the Mux list in my first (and only to date) tourney. Found it quite effective although it may find itself susceptible to arc dodging aces and authothrusters.

Still, with consistent damage output you can whittle away at almost anything and Mux's ability is very annoying!
