GUNS 4 HIRE!!!

By RIP Yoda, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just got Guns for Hire and would like to run a fun list for my casual games. Got one here but would love any other suggestions. My first intention was to use most of the components from Gun for Hire.


Viktor Hel - Kihraxz Fighter
Vaksai / Expertise / Harpoon Missiles / Ion Discharger / Stealth Device / Pulsed Ray Shields / Vectored Thrusters - 31 points
Dalan Oberos - StarViper
Intensity / StarViper Mk. II / Autothrusters
33 points
Thweek - StarViper
StarViper Mk. II / Autothrusters / Virago / Advanced Sensors / Glitterstim

If anyone wishes to change the ships in the build, so that I can actually fly it these are the scum ships I have
- Guns for hire
- Star Viper
- Jumpmaster
- Shadow Caster
- YV-666
- Quad Jumper

CHEERS!!

I would look at swapping Dalan - for Intensity Guri she is a monster (give here the virago title from thweek).

Also i would swap Advanced Sensors from thweek and give him fire control; i've played him a bit; if you are taking the PS and have a bid, you will move last anyway; Thweek suffers from lack of mods more than lack of moves.

Scavenger Crane on Victor lets you get his SD back after you lose it, so his ability stays active! Expertise is a respectable choice on him, but VI works quite well if you pair it with VT, giving him better range control.

Dalan and Intensity Guri are both excellent ships. However, if going with Dalan, I'd use VI, as with his ability, he values as much information as possible.

Dont use FCS with Thweek. His main advantage is not being shot, that is advance sensors. Let him peck away, just dont get him get shot. FCS version can just be blocked. I took FCS thweek out easily with ps1 scurrgs. Adv sensors with that barrel roll is disgusting. Use it.

Dalan probably wants VI or else wired, cause he will be stressed a lot.

I just it comes down to personal taste you can either be aggressive or defensive.

I've found that without FC the focus gets used for defensive and thweek can't push damage out.
