Soontir Fel /Turr Phenir/Valen Rudor

By USCGrad90, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I ran this list the other day, just to play with something I knew well in the Interceptors and try out a slightly different version of the TAP.

I was fairly pleased with the outcome, making some mistakes - including not using my Prockets when I had the opportunity. I may change it up and go with the Inquisitor, but I like the idea of Valen being able to dodge a range 3 attack and activate to boost/barrel roll into closer range for his attack. I also found it useful to dodge a reshot from IG88B. I've always loved the post maneuvering ability of Turr, and this has a similar effect.

99 points gives me a shot at the initiative bid.

Soontir + PTL + RTG Title + Autothrusters +Stealth. (35)

Turr + + PTL + RTG Title + Autothrusters +Stealth. (33)

Valen + PTL + Prockets+ Autothrusters + TIE/v1 (31)

I've had a similar idea, although I don't think its very competitive (would still be fun though and I plan on running it casually for sure)

Instead of Soontir, I was thinking of running Vader for an extra Proton rocket:

Vader w/ VI, x-1, ATC, engine & prockets = 38

Turr w/ PTL, title, thrusters & target comp = 32

Valen w/ juke, title, thrusters & prockets = 30

100

Target comp was thrown in just because I had 2 points left over. Honestly, it could be dropped to put Push on Rudor, or Turr could be dropped for the Inquisitor (for triple proton rocket fun!)

I liked the idea of Turr and Valen both getting extra actions in the combat phase, and I figured Turr could get use out of the Target Comp when he gets behind enemies and they are focussing on killing Vader (who is probably the easiest to go after here).

I thought about a similar list

The inquisitor at 34 points (ptl, title and prokets)

Fel - 35 points

valen ( title, prokets + ept)

don't know what ept to put on valen - ptl means he will not be able to do any free actions when he is shot at

I use PTL after he is shot - especially at range 3.

Initial Movement and take a Target lock, plus get a free evade.

Opponent shoots and if range 3, you have 2 guaranteed evades.

After defending, you take your free action with PTL - so this amounts to 4 actions in a turn. Plenty of green on the dial to shed stress the next turn.

Facing IG88B or somebody with Gunner, TLT, or Cluster Missiles - if the first attack misses, you can boost and barrel roll out of arc OR try to roll/boost and take a focus.

I use PTL with Turr in a similar way - especially against lower PS pilots. Initial move and focus. Fire and then boost and BR out of arc or take an evade.

I love Rudor, and did a version of this with Jax and Soontir. Great squad. Valen is really tricksy. How has he performed for you?

I have only flown this once, but found Valen to be less of a target than Soontir. While my opponent was chasing him, Valen and Turr were doing damage. Valen's 2 dice are a bit frustrating at times, but I like his mobility.
