Whisper and GSVs

By kyten44, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I have a store tournament next week And am thinking about running this...

Whisper 41

FCS

VI

kallus

ACD

Gamma vet x2 28 each

Deadeye

Extra mun

Proton Toro

Seismic bomb

Chips

97 total.

Last tournament had lots of 2 large ship lists. 6 out of 8. Was won by a palp shuttle, decimator, tie advance crit list.

Thoughts?

I would go for homing missiles over protorps for better ace-killing. Alternatively consider gunner instead of Kallus to help burn through Soontir et als token stack.

Looks alright

I've used a similar list, but different upgrades. Takes a bit of practice though to get right:

Whisper w/ VI, FCS, rebel captive + ACD = 42

1 Gamma Vet w/ crack shot, homing missile, extra munitions & Long-range scanners = 27

1 Gamm Vet w/ deadeye, proton torpedo, flechette torpedo, extra munitions & guidance chips = 28

97

I've always liked Rebel Captive on Whisper, and the current meta makes it really, really good (Manaroo hates it, Overclocked scouts hate it, Soontir hates it, etc).
