Cloaked Rain Cow......pint Squad.

By clanofwolves, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So for fun while I get a break from FennBoats (that is so powerfully fun/easy), I think I'll have a bit of jest on the mat on a weekend pint game; Im thinking:

24 Omicron Group Pilot – Lambda (21), Darth Vader (3)

39 Wisper – TIE Phantom (32), Veteran Instincts (1) , Advanced Cloaking Device (4), Fire Control (2)

37 Deathrain – TIE Punisher (26), Enhanced Scopes (1), Cluster Mines (4), Concussion Missiles (4) Extra Munitions (2), Long Range Scanners (0)

Would Conners be better? ...I just dig missiles if they get near my grill.

Look fun? Thoughts?

Stapled VI to Whisper....

It doesn't really make sense to put Intel Agent on Whisper in place of VI. VI + ACD should be stapled to Whisper's pilot card...

I'm kinda new to Whisper, I haven't flown her against any high PS on pint nights yet, the ships are always 7 or lower so far.....but I completely understand that thought.

How's the rest of the nonsense look?

I'd say Deathrain is a bit glassy, expensive, and you are missing quite a bit of fun by not giving him a set of Seismics to make him dance pre-movement - quite a comical thing. He can't really make use of the missile too well as he blows up rather quickly (in my experience at least - he draws tons of hate).

Whisper on the other hand loves to have some crew. I am quite partial to Gunner, but the great 3-pointers of the empire all find a place (well, except for Vader of course) here. My favourite of them is Rebel Captive, being three times as good against Attanni lists. So, here is what I'd do:

Omicron Group Pilot (21)
Darth Vader (3)

"Whisper" (32)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
Rebel Captive (3)
Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

"Deathrain" (26)
Collision Detector (0)
Extra Munitions (2)
Cluster Mines (4)
Seismic Charges (2)
Long-Range Scanners (0)

Total: 100

You can drop Whispers crew to Kallus if you really want Deathrain at PS0, but I haven't found that neccessary and Kallus is just a pain to keep track of.

Once again Admiral, you are a fantastic help in squad-building. I'm going to run this asap!

I too cannot keep up with Kallus, though if you could and tagged him to the right ship, he could do work. I really hope one day Punishers can be made great, they look ominous.
