My Rebel Torpedo List

By Hrathen, in X-Wing

Maybe its a personal failing, but as soon as I heard about the super torpedo scouts (U-boats I think everyone in calling them). I just had to go another way. My first thought was the four greens with deadeye, concussion missiles, and chimps, but I had pretty much already flown them (before we had the chimps) So I wanted to do something else. I tied to find something that had a generic EPT and some good ordnance slots. Other than the A-wings the best I could find was T-70 and it is really too many points. But as I wandered away from my original idea I came up with this:

Nera + Deadeye + Plasma Torps + Extra munitions + Chimps

Wedge + R2D2 + Plasma Torps + Chimps

Wess + Plasma Torps + Chimps

What I really like about this list is it brings back a couple of my favorite X-wing pilots that I haven't seen for a while. I almost never fly Wedge without Biggs to keep him alive, but I am not sure that Wedge is the tastiest target in this list.

I'm not that guy who is going to win many tournaments anyway but this list looks like a lot of fun to me.

I never fly Wedge without Wes! You will find that they work really well off each other if Wes has VI.

Nera is under used too, she should see some flight now with EM and a better range of torps available now. I know munitions are all the rage at the moment but I'm still not sure about them on X-Wings, apart from on Hobbie with targeting astromech.

Overall I would say the list looks a bit over priced for what is there. My love of integrated astromech would mean I would rather have an astro upgrade than protons with chimps. Let us know how they get on though!

I honestly wouldn't bother with torps on the X-Wings. IA is just so potent that its hard not to use.
