Is dual Firespray (Scum or Imperial) feasible at all?

By rr2r, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Gets,

I have to report that I was FINALLY able to make this happen. Funny thing, completely not planned, on the night that I showed up at the FLGS with my dual-Firesprays, there were two other guys also with two scum Firesprays. There were 4 games played by those lists, and all 4 were won that night. I am sure that does not mean that they will sweep the next set of tournaments, but it was so great to see them on the table :)

Sorry - I failed to take any pics, but I can assure you that my skin still has an ugly itch after touching the scum dials :o

Yes, it was nice to see Firesprays on the table, but I got my *** handed to me by one of those lists :o :P

Here you go - continuing the "Bring Back the Spray" campaign last night... With Talonbane Cobra on the table as a free bonus!

I am gonna try this list on thursday.

Boba Fett (Scum) (39)
Expose (4)
Tractor Beam (1)
Tail Gunner (2)
Inertial Dampeners (1)
Countermeasures (3)
Kath Scarlet (Scum) (38)
Expose (4)
Tractor Beam (1)
Tail Gunner (2)
Inertial Dampeners (1)
Countermeasures (3)
Total: 99

I have to say the Shadowcaster really makes it hard to look at the Firespray again. The Shadowcaster is what the Firespray should have been. The Shadowcaster has the same total hull/shields, same focus/TL/evade, vastly more maneuverable dial, the ability to move it's rear arc around and some pretty nasty pilot abilities. For the same cost (Ketsu is the same cost as Kath). The dial is really what sets the Shadowcaster apart, those green hard 3s make it move even with PTL in a way the FS just can't match.

Still, with repeated Falcon pilots and titles, maybe we'll see a new and better Slave I title?

Now wave 9 is out I'm bringing back the duel firespray list with this

Twin firesprays (100)

Kath Scarlet (49) - Firespray-31

Fearlessness (1), Proton Bombs (5), Tail Gunner (2), Rigged Cargo Chute (1), Slave I (0), Extra Munitions (2)

Emon Azzameen (51) - Firespray-31

Proximity Mines (3), Bombardier (1), Dead Man's Switch (2), Andrasta (0), Proton Bombs (5), Conner Net (4)

Emon bombs and is a bomb and kath drops the cargo and punishes anyone in her rear arc, with 5 dice shot at range one and an extra hit for potential of 6 hits that also gives -1 to agility, it may not happen often but when it does

I like it. Fearlessness is interesting on Kath, but I'd go with Dengar as an absolute requirement on Kath along with Glitterstimm (although the cargo chute is definitely interesting!). I don't know that Kath can do without Engine Upgrade at all and so PTL is probably where it's at still. Is bombardier worth it on Emon?

How about 99 points:
Kath, VI, Engine Upgrade, K4, Glitterstimm 48

Emon, Dengar, 3x Prox Mine, experimental interface 51

Could put rigged cargo chute on Emon and make that a round 100.

I played against someone on Vassal that had Tail Gunner and Outmaneuver. When that catches you in the back arc with you not facing them, well, that hurts. Not sure that's worth not taking VI or PTL though.

I like bombardier on emon as it has really messed with my opponents trying to figure out where I'll drop the. Bomb with him, and I know fearlessness isn't the best, I usually run kath with vi for the ps 9 proton bombs but I think fearlessness needs to be tried out at least

Ran this recently and was very effective:

Boba (51) - Slave 1, Outmaneuver, Conner Net, Dengar, Extra Munition

Kath (49) - EU, Predator, Tail Gunner, Glitterstim

I like Boba at PS8 so he can move first and drop a conner in the face of an Ace, did that earlier and it ruined Poe's day.
