Palp Mobile + Carnor/OL/Wampa

By SPE825, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just wondering if folks think that this list is viable. The idea here is to run the standard Palp Mobile but also deny actions for the opponent. My primary concern here is the lower PS of Carnor (vs a Soontir or Vader) and his lack of stealth device. Hoping that action denial by he and Omega Leader will help with that.

List:

  • (29) OGP + Palpatine
  • (31) Carnor Jax + PTL + Autothruster
  • (26) Omega Leader + Juke + Comm Relay
  • (14) Wampa

Total = 100 pts

Thanks for the input!

Edit: VI Vader might not be a bad idea here (over Carnor) as I've seen that one ran too. Maybe more durable. But w/o EU he's tougher to fly.

Vs. TLTs Carnor will be better due to AT

Vs. Aces and such Vader will be better for more damage and higher PS

Yeah, I have a feeling that the local meta here seems to me more focused on Rebel, regen aces at the moment. So Vader might prove more valuable. But at the same time, Carnor's dial might fair better against the inevitable stressbot. Decisions, decisions. Seems like Vader might be more flexible should I run up against both in a tournament though.

I've thought about carnor just because Vader without engines isn't ideal. However thus list really needs his bulldog capabilities. If anything I think you'd be looking at either the inquisitor or a different build with just Vader and jax.

When wave eight hits, I think the TAP will be the way to go for this list.

Why not try Palpy and a mini-swarm, highlight being Wampa? Palpy can make ALL of Wampa's attacks have a crit pop up, and a mini-swarm, while crap for PS, would be ideal for blocking and helping Wampa keep arc.

If I was so inclined as to buy the Gozanti, I think this is what I'd seriously consider running.
