New Years Tourney Lists

By Jimbawa, in X-Wing Squad Lists

My local gaming store is having a big x wing tournament this weekend with pretty significant prizes which I think will bring out some additional players to the area. Our store has a bit of a wonky meta that doesn't mesh well with some of the other stores nearby, with a particularly nasty stress/bombing or deadeye ordnance prevailing.

Bombs I'm less worried about; I don't expect to see any PS 10 or 11 outside of Nym and Turani, but stress could very well be an issue. There's also a good amount of the new ships showing up, and any tips on facing them (particularly resistance bombers) would be greatly appreciated.

So, the lists I'm considering are:

1. RAC - Dauntless, VI, Kylo, Rebel Captive, Merc Copilot (57)

Blackout - ATs, FOV, PTL, Adv Sensors and Optics (43)

Total: 100 pts

2. Kylo - ATs, FOV, PTL, Adv Sensors (45)

Quickdraw - LWF, Spec Ops, Score to Settle, FCS, Sensor Cluster (35)

Countdown - AA (20)

Total: 100 pts

3. Omega Leader - Stealth Device, Juke, Comm Relay (29)

Pure Sabacc - LWF, AA, VI (25)

Major Vynder - Adv SLAM, OS-1, PTL, Extra Munitions, Plasma Torps, Harpoons, Scrambler Missiles (44)

Total: 98 points

Comments, critiques, things you'd change for x or y reason? I'm pretty comfortable flying each of these lists so don't let that be the deciding factor; I'm more concerned about how the other popular meta lists would compete in addition to the heavy stress/bombs/ordnance I'm already looking at.

I like list #1 the best because you're able to fully build out both ships.

Both ships can take a punch or two without being fully knocked out, which is pretty important with the number of missiles and bombs out there.

Another possibility with that build is tweaking a few things to throw Countermeasures on the Decimator. It's a one-time use, but it could really save you if timed right.
