Poor man's Palp. list

By Flyingbrick, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Ok it is as follows:

Tomax: Tie shuttle + Fleet officer + crack shot + Twin ion engine Mk.2

Maarek Stele: Predator + X/7 title

Ryad: Predator + X/7 title.

I call it the poor man's Palp list due to the bomber's lower health. But other then this it seems almost as effective. What does everyone think of this? Thanks for all input. :)

Its a cool idea, but it isn't a Palpatine replacement. Palpatine guarantees an evade or crit every turn whereas Tomax merely makes it more likely. I'd use Tomax in this configuration if I thought I was going to be facing something like a B-wing swarm.

My current build uses:

Major Rhymer (31)

Snap Shot

Tactician

Intelligence Agent

Major Rhymer increases snap shot out to range 2, where he can stress a ship before t performs actions. It really shuts down action economy, but has almost zero damage output.

Been working on using a Shuttle myself, this is what I've got so far at 100 points. Systems + Fleet Officer are nice, Swarm Leader lets the bomber get in some hits off the evades from x7
