New Soontir/Deci List idea

By CaptainAl, in X-Wing Squad Lists

so i have been thinking about this list lately, someone has probably played it already, but what do you guys think?

RAC

Expose

Palpatine

Ysanne

experimental interface

standard soontir

Would be very nasty. Having run the Decimator list you posted though I'd drop Ysanne for something else, probably rebel captive or something to help with rerolls. Ysanne on her own really doesn't do enough to be worth it in my opinion.

Her ability also doesn't work when stressed which you will be if EI/Exposing

actually i might be wrong, but i think you can use Ysanne's ability and EI for expose

Yes you can.

However, that doesn't make this 'new'. This exact sort of list was all the rage when the decimator was first spoiled and how long did it take for people to realize it didn't work well? I think someone in Australia won a big tourney with it, but that's about it. It was quickly dropped for more effective decimator builds that include the usual suspects (predator, gunner, engine, etc).

I've flown this list before (pre-Palpatine) and I love it. It was a lot of fun. Faced 7 Scum Z's with Feedback Array and won with plenty of health left on RAC. Got them to chase Soontir and they eventually managed to corner him and finish him with FA's, but RAC was taking them apart at range 1 the whole time.

Any reports on how this list has done for you? I'm tempted to bust out the Expose/Experimental Interface RAC with Whisper as it's great fun. Not sure how it would do against recent Scum lists I've faced though.

well i don't have expose, palp, and EI so i can't play it :(
