Krassis, Carnor and OL

By Mattleach120, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Thinking about trying this out - any thoughts?

Krassis Trellix w\ Heavy Laser Cannon 43

Carnor Jax w\ PTL + Stealth Device 31

Omega Leader w\Comm Relay + Juke 26

Carnor with PtL and stealth is 32 points, so I assume you mean autothrusters otherwise the list is over 100 points.

As for my opinion, I like Carnor and Omega Leader because it allows the latter to switch targets and still use juke effectively without having to take another TL. Krassis doesn't benefit anymore than usual from Carnor (I've been playing those two alongside Echo with sensor jammer) but Krassis hits like a truck and adds some hit points to the list. I think it could work though you'll need a strategy against higher-PS aces, but with Carnor and OL's abilities I'd expect it to be doable.

Thanks for the reply buddy (can't believe I miscalculated...), Carnor with Autothrusters instead of Stealth Device would be slightly more brittle but my philosophy is to keep him out of firing arcs and take the shot later unless it's a certain kill (turrets are a problem of course) anyhow so it would'nt be disastrous. The alternative may be to reduce the size of cannon on Krassis and keep Stealth Device (and add autothrusters) on Carnor.

As you say it might run into difficulties against higher PS pilots but other than interceptors and like maneauverability ships I'm not too worried. Against those ships I think Krassis could prove the foil to that as long as both the firespray and one of the Tie's maintain a distant coverage of each other in true wingman style.

Choices, choices....

I'll be giving it a run out soon so we will see how it goes!

I dig the list and carnor is a fav but here I feel people are really gonna gun for him. The other two are so much more resilient you may be better off looking to vader or a couple crack blacks or something else instead. The second issue is that carnor brings a lot less to the table here then is usual for him. Just something to consider.
