Altering the Guri Fury

By Deepspace5, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I have been running this list that you might be interested in.

Guri - PTL, Virago, Advanced Proton Torpedos, Auto Thrusters, Glitterstim

4x Z-95 - Feedback Array

I have been running this at my local store and it wrecked big ship lists and I have killed several ships with the Feedbacks.

Here is another take on a list I saw above:

Kihraxz Fighter: · Talonbane Cobra (28)

Predator (3)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Glitterstim (2)

Z-95 Headhunter: · N'dru Suhlak (17)

Crack Shot (1)

Homing Missiles (5)

Guidance Chips (0) [in future]

Glitterstim (2)

StarViper: · Prince Xizor (31)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Autothrusters (2)

· Virago (1)

Fire Control System (2)

N'Dru fires missile that becomes Xisor's wingman. You have 2 PS 9s with repositioning abilities. This list has to get ahead early but that seems to fit Scum theme.

Ya guri should be xizor there.

I've actually used that last list or near to. It packs a serious punch but not a list that is forgiving. Xizors ability can cause problems if you aren't careful. It ended up biting me later on but it was a must use situation.

Rhoaran, that list seems pretty legit, though it wouldn't be Guri Fury anymore ^_^

Arcana, that list idea is one I have been toying around with in the back of my mind...I would need to run SJ though, so here is my version:

99 Points
Binayre Pirate (14) x 4
Z-95 Headhunter (12), Feedback Array (2)
Guri (43)
StarViper (30), Predator (3), Virago (1), Autothrusters (2), Sensor Jammer (4), “Hot Shot” Blaster (3)
Not super sure about the HSB with ATs being around, but it is a nice surprise if I get outmaneuvered at some point to still get a decently modded shot in. The points could also go to one of the Zs for an IPM as well.
Flechette or Plasma Torps are always a possibility on Guri too, but HSB doesn't need a TL to fire and helps cover one of the weaknesses of the list just a little bit.
This list is mighty tempting for me right now...the event I'm going into tomorrow is what I have been building for, so now I have to decide which list and which version to take.
Blocking tactics are great for Guri's Sensor Jammer...might even be more potent than Palob + another ship. Firepower is increased overall as well with 4 other ships vs just two. Feedback Arrays cover high agility targets that get close. Regen Corran would be tricky if he escapes the net before dying...

If it were me, I'd throw Xizor in there in a heartbeat. His ability really capitalizes on the z-95s, whereas with Guri, she can run into problems since she is a million times more threatening to most things than a z-95...

Xizor fits since your at 99, or you can drop the Hotshot for a flechette and keep the 99 bid (that would be my preference, since you have the feedbacks already)

Definitely Xizor there. He comes with super SJ. Even if you don't like fcs just roll with predator instead. Or both although adv sensors would rock.

Anyway let us know what you took and how it went.

I settled on this list:

98 points
Guri (40)
StarViper (30), Predator (3), Virago (1), Autothrusters (2), Sensor Jammer (4)
Palob Godalhi (33)
HWK-290 (20), Expert Handling (2), Twin Laser Turret (6), Bossk (2), Moldy Crow (3)
N’Dru Suhlak (25)
Z-95 Headhunter (17), Homing Missiles (5), Glitterstim (2), Veteran Instincts (1)
I did some test runs of N'Dru facing off against Soontir/Vader/Corran/Other PS 8/9 ships, and VI seemed to be more gold than Crack Shot for that initial volley...but I am still on the fence about it. When throwing 5 dice at an enemy, Crack Shot seems so amazing. I might end up taking it and just try to be more confident than I am...
I'm off to the tournament in a little bit, so I'll report back here.

Good luck!

Store Championship Results: I took 3rd place overall. There were only 9 folks that made it to this one, but I am happy with the results of how the list played. It was a blast.

Round 1 Victory vs. 4x Unhinged TLTs

Round 2 Loss vs. Brobots (Crackshot/Glitterstim)

Round 3 Victory vs. Poe+Bandit+2x TLT Y-Wings

Round 4 Victory vs. 7x TIE Swarm

Made top 4 cut

Semi-Finals-Loss vs. Fel+Ion Cannon Defender+2x Epsilon Sq. Pilots (Modified Win)

The Brobots player was new to the list but picked it up quickly and took home the tournament victory in the end. He only lost to the 7x TIE Swarm. I had such a great time with this list.

Palob and Expert Handling with Bossk was just bananas. One game I had about 10 focus tokens and kept arc dodging lower PS ships. Bossk and TLT kept a steady stream of Focus tokens going and almost made it to where I could barrel roll every turn if I needed to.

The VI on N'Dru only really came into play in the Semi-Finals against Fel, but it made him fly differently and I ended up getting hit+crit through to him early, but it wasn't direct...Fel lived until the end of the match. I expected to see more higher PS ships...there were a few, but I did not face them. I am really interested to see how Cluster Missiles and Guidance chips with Crack Shot does next time...

Guri did her thing in each of the games...Only lost her against Brobots and she was the last to live (Brobot had 2 hull left). ALMOST went to time, but I really had nowhere to run as the clock ticked away. Sensor Jammer paid dividends in every game...I know I considered advanced sensors at one point, but SJ was just so powerful against TLTs and nearly everything else to help keep her alive.

Overall I had a great experience with this list. I will definitely have to run it again when Wave 8 hits and I can change up N'Dru a bit. I also want to try with a G-1A in place of N'Dru and see how that combos. I could make Palob a little lighter to fit in 4-LOM for extra scum-factor. One other thing to note is that having Guri and Palob at the same Pilot Skill was crucial to many of my maneuvers. It was something I was expecting from the beginning when I started working on the list, but it mattered more than I thought it would.
