Awesome OR Awful Scum

By HargraveActual, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Okay, let's keep this simple. Here's a thought for an upcoming tourney, what do you guys think?

Corsairs IV (100)

Emon Azzameen (57) - Firespray-31

Seismic Charges (2), Gunner (5), Glitterstim (2), Andrasta (0), Engine Upgrade (4), Proton Bombs (5), Proximity Mines (3)

Talonbane Cobra (43) - Kihraxz

Expose (4), Assault Missiles (5), Glitterstim (2), Engine Upgrade (4)

99% of the time, Expose is crap every time.

Drop it for Predator, Cobra will thank you. Being able to boost with your EU and still have some dice modification is great, and all Expose is going to do is take a green dice off of an already pretty fragile ship.

Otherwise... not sure how to feel. Never really took Azzameen for a spin before, so I'm not one to really critique him.

And I'm guessing you're mildly terrified of swarms, giving all the area effect explosives. With that said, a Glitterstim shot with a Homing Missile is almost always satisfying against aces...

I've always wanted to really hammer someone with Expose, and I think with EU it may be achievable to get shot at the turn I use it. But you might be right...

And yes, you're right, I have been shredded more than a couple times by swarms...
