Stress Bomber

By SassyPigLatin, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I just just came up with this list and am wondering if it will fly well or be terrible. The basic idea is to keep handing out stress tokens through the mobile firing arc with Asajj to use Latts or BMST and there's a z-95 to help with BMST success. Then you have nym with auto blaster turret and bomblet generator to do bomblet things. I'm considering dropping the z-95 and putting tlt on nym and just other useful upgrades. At this moment I am planning to fly this in a tournament so I want to know if it is competitive enough to do well.

(100)

Asajj Ventress (44) - Lancer-class Pursuit Craft
Attanni Mindlink (1), Latts Razzi (2), Black Market Slicer Tools (1), Rigged Cargo Chute (1), Gyroscopic Targeting (2)

Captain Nym (43) - Scurrg H-6 Bomber
Attanni Mindlink (1), Autoblaster Turret (2), Bomblet Generator (3), Havoc (0), Engine Upgrade (4), Accuracy Corrector (3), "Genius" (0)

Binayre Pirate (13) - Z-95 Headhunter
Black Market Slicer Tools (1)

This is not the greatest list because Mindlink gets better and better with the number of ships and two ships is not worth it.
Either you dump the Headhunter and the Mindlink EPTs and put PTL, Engine Upgrade and mabey Glitterstim or the title on Asajj and VI, TLT, Cruise Missles, Extra Munitions and Long Range Scanners on Nim, or you upgrade the Headhunter to Kaato Leeachos (cheapest Headhunter with EPT) with Mindlink and getting rid of either Gyroscopic Targeting or Black Market Slicer Tools and Rigged Cargo Chute on Asajj. If you decide to play with Kaato Leeachos keep him away from battle and take a focus as his action allways - let him be a "focus-battery" for the two other ships

Ok, I have several things on my mind....

1. Mindlink is more useful the more ships there are with it, ideally at least 3, with only two, if one of them dies the other one as a useless 1 point elite and as lost action efficiency. So maybe switching the z for a cheap AM carrier like Inaldra wouldn't be the worst idea. With the Light title she costs 14 points.

2. I'd say keep asajj thin, LR+ML is more than enough on her, and it'll free you points for a third ship. Although rigged and BMST are not bad.

3. I personally prefer FCS over AC, for the simple fact that at range 1 you roll 4 dice and at 2 and 3 you roll 3 dice, and you can modify them with TL + Focus if you have to, plus it frees up a point.

Maybe I'd go with something more like this:

Asajj Ventress (37)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Latts Razzi (2)
Black Market Slicer Tools (1)

Captain Nym (Scum) (30)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Bomblet Generator (3)
Fire-Control System (2)
"Genius" (0)
Havoc (0)

Inaldra (15)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Ion Cannon (3)
"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) (2)

Total: 100

Inaldra's Canon can be anything within the point range of a tractor beam and a mangler canon, I chose ion because stress + ion can be pretty wicked.

But before you change your list after hearing any advice, not necessarily mine, take it as it is and try it, play a game or two with it, see what you think should be changed and what should stay, and don'tbe afraid to make drastic changes.

Hope this helps.
