Triple Vipers

By bwingstrike, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So with the release of Guns For Hire I starting thinking of trying a triple Starviper list.

I end up with 7 points to play with and unsure what to use it on, probably torpedoes?

Triple Vipers (93/100)
======================
Starviper: Dalan Oberos (30 + 2)
+ Predator (3)
+ StarViper Mk.II (-3)
+ Autothrusters (2)
Starviper: Guri (30 + 1)
+ Intensity (2)
+ StarViper Mk.II (-3)
+ Autothrusters (2)
Starviper: Thweek (28 + 2)
+ StarViper Mk.II (-3)
+ Autothrusters (2)
+ Virago (1)
+ Fire Control System (2)

Any ideas?

Thweek could do well with a torpedo due to having FCS, you could also give him an Illicit of some sort. Either way I like this so far!

I considered Scavenger Crane & Proton or Plasma torpedoes on Thweek. May give that a try

I'd say make the call based on your local meta. If everyone is running high-shield ships, do Plasma. Otherwise Proton.

That's my main problem with Triple SVs is that you end up with an awkward number of points remaining.

Couple of options are to throw Flechette torps on everyone, or APTs on Guri. Flechette's give you a bit of control as you can stack stress on something. APTs are pretty Janky and don't really justify their points, but if there is one ship that can use them, its Guri. They synergize pretty well with her ability.

Plasma's are never a bad option either.

I'm thinking either add Proton and Plasma torpedoes to Thweek & Dalen.

Or

Plasma and Scavenger Crane to Thweek. With a 2 point bid for when copying PS.

I am looking forward to running this list. Hopefully will get a chance next week.
