Fun list I've been tweaking

By Tbetts94, in X-Wing Squad Lists

(100)

"Howlrunner" (20) - TIE Fighter

Swarm Tactics (2)

"Scourge" (18) - TIE Fighter

Crack Shot (1)

"Wampa" (14) - TIE Fighter

Omega Squadron Pilot (19) - TIE/FO Fighter

Crack Shot (1), Primed Thrusters (1)

Omicron Group Pilot (29) - Lambda-Class Shuttle

Collision Detector (0), Emperor Palpatine (8), Emperor Palpatine (8)

I had a Sienar with Prockets in place of the FO, but with it being PS2 couldn't get them off. I tried a game with FO with Crack and weapons Guidance but never needed WG to fall into play with Howl rerolls. My latest version is the above one. I put Swarm Tactics instead of Crack on Howl to give Wampa PS8 to make sure Wampa gets a shot and to get Scourge's ability to activate activate with Crack. Omega will also have Crack. Lastly, the shuttle cleans up and I'll play with it more aggressively than traditional Palp+ lists. What do you guys think? I just want something unique, that's fun and competitive enough to take to small tournaments. I've been crushing tournaments with "meta" lists and I want to stray away from being uber competitive for awhile after my regional is over.

so i made a somewhat similar plan using ties and the bomber shuttle.

i think you should consider using a tractor beam on the shuttle and having howlrunner swarm tactics it to give your tie fighters better odds to get past the green dice.
personally i dont trust 2 reds to ever do damage.

if you cut primed thrusters from the FO pilot and put tractor on your shuttle it makes your swarm alot more deadly. assuming they dont all blow up due to lack of numbers.

it might even manage to put someone on a rock or change the arc to no shot.
