Whisper + Wampa + Palpatine + 19 points, looking for advice.

By Hoffburger, in X-Wing Squad Lists

“Whisper” (38)

TIE Phantom (32), Intelligence Agent (1), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

“Wampa” (14)

Omicron Group Pilot (29)
Lambda-Class Shuttle (21), Emperor Palpatine (8)

Not quite sure where to go after that. FCS on Whisper + Scourge w/ VI/Crack Shot is an option. Sensor Jammer on Whisper + some random TIE is an option. Ending with a decent initiative bid is an option, but at PS9 I'm more worried about Poe and such than I am about winning initiative vs. Kath/Fel/etc. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Three options I am thinking about are adding Scourge with Decoy, adding Backstabber and Enhanced Scopes + Anti-Pursuit Lasers to the Lambda, or adding FCS to Whisper and adding Epsilon Ace. I like the first two the most and I'm leaning more towards the Scourge Decoy option.

What about Dark Curse with stealth device...

I would go the Fire Control Systems + Dark Curse Route.

I second the motion for Dark Curse with a SD.

I vote BSP w/ Crackshot & SJ on the shuttle.

Or if you run into a lot of TLTs, you can put SJ on Whisper instead.

Upgrade your Lambda to a Decimator! That's exactly 19 points!

I played the Decoy + Scourge list and it was alright. I feel like Dark Curse would be better. Changing out Omicron to Captain Yorr seems like a logical 3 point upgrade.

Epsilon Leader is exactly 19 points. Now Whisper can K-turn.

Yorr is a good buy. Whisper's nightmare is getting stressed; this way, she can take the shot at rebel captives with impunity.

I'd consider Backstabber rather than Dark Curse; It's not like people will shoot at Dark Curse anyway with Palpatine and Wampa trolling around. The 'other TIE fighter' will by default be the lowest threat on the board.... and Backstabber is great in that situation; when ignored, he's essentially a 16 point Royal Guard Pilot.

I kinda agree, Dark Curse might not die but he's not really a threat either.
