Mid tier scum optimization (Xizor, 4-LOM)

By AEIllingworth, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Howdy!

I tried an offbeat list at my FLGS this week, and I'm trying to figure out if I chose the right wingmen, and if I missed anything.

Prince Xizor (31)

Veteran instincts (1)

Virago (1)

Fire control systems (2)

Autothrusters (2)

37 points

4-LOM (27)

Draw Their Fire (1)

Sensor Jammer (4)

Gonk (2)

Experimental Interface (3)

37 points

I had run it with the title on 4-LOM and two Binayre Pirates and a one point bid, but I didn't use the tractor beam at all and I only used the barrel roll to stall and build a gonk shield or two.

It was amazing at messing with target priority, no one really wants to shoot at an evade token and sensor jammer, even with one agility. Draw their fire helped the Zs more than Xizor, because he rarely had to pass off two damage.

This works like the old regen draw their fire keeping Biggs alive lists, but scummier and more expensive.

Are there better options for my 26 available points than two Zs, a title, and a bid?

I've been running a fun list with 4-Lom, Guri,and Palob. Less meat shield for your Xizor, but people hate Palob for good reason. He works well with SJ,and can help with triple scouts.

Palob is tempting, but if I put a TLT on him I don't have any points for an EPT or a bid. Autoblaster might work with decloak movement. That would give 2 points for EPT and bid.
