Omega, Wampa and 4 Crack Squadrons?

By gamblertuba, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, looking forward to Miniature Market tourney next week and cannot come up with a list that I really like. Never flown anything like this but I like the idea of the following:

"Omega Leader" (21)
Juke (2)
Comm Relay (3)
"Wampa" (14)
Black Squadron Pilot (14) x4
Crack Shot (1)
Total: 100
No Howlrunner but allows me to fly wherever I want. Wampa is in there to be one point cheaper than another Crack Squad and lets me fit Juke on Omega. Could switch out Juke for VI to help with Ace hunting.
What would I be scared of? Biophysical will probably stomp me anyway but if flown well, I think this could work.
Edit: Most importantly, any advice on how to fly it? Anyone used Omega plus swarm at all?

I think its fine. IG88 w/ HLC + FCS + crackshot will murder everything except Omega Leader with ease. Your only hope is to keep him from being able to focus fire, trying to get R1 as much as possible (and a block is nice), and hopefully killing one IG88 relatively quick. I find blocking k-turn/s-loops key, so having 1 ship as a trailer (who can sneak into those spots easier) may help.

Other lists should be less trouble though.
