I didn't end up facing Reapers, although they were present. I faced the two lists at the tournament I felt were the toughest for me: 5 refit rookies, and Nym, Bob, AP-5. Really tough matches, but everything went my way.
What Are You Taking to Store Champs?
1 hour ago, Crit Happens said:I've never flown BSF's, but I always have very intriguing games against them. Because of this, and the fact that they look amazing on the table, I love any list that uses them.
BSF's suffer from 2 problems...lack of green dice and having to have another ship for Sabine which frequently gets wiped out quickly. Putting her on a K-wing is glorious. Watching people chase a K-wing around while playing frogger with the BSF's and bombs brings me great pleasure. If my opponent does manage to TL the WSP, frequently it gets shrugged off.
I will miss this in 2e.
Having tried slippery scum (Fenn, Thweek and Manaroo) at my last tournament, I am not sure if I will play that also for the next story championship.
The alternative for me would be Kath and Asajj or Boba and Asajj. Maybe Boba, since I got a promo.

Whisper with Krennic, VI, AS, ACD

It's the most broken squad I've ever flown, and I'm obsessed with it in an unhealthy way.
Woah. Thats...an amazing list! Hope you do well with it!
Luke/R2/Predator/RR/SSF/IA
2x Green Squad/PTL/Outmaneuver/Title/CharRefi/and either VT or AT; cannot decide which
Zeb/BoShek/EMP/SabMas
Loads of fun to fly.
Really wanted to take a Buzzsaw Whisper list (in a fit of nostalga) escorted by either two Star Wings or a Krennick carrier plus Vader. Chickened out.

Thank you!
It's as much broken BS as I can fit in a single Imperial squad, and it's so much fun to fly. My first SC of the season is this weekend, so we'll see how it goes.
Been to three:
Poe/Miranda w/ clustermines and experimental - went 3-1 and finished 3rd.
Triple Wooks - went 2-2. Both losses were very very close.
5 Rookie Xwings w/ FAA - went 6-0
Got one or two more to go to. Might try a quickdraw vermeil silencer list and perhaps an imperial mashup of gunboats,reapers, and bombers. Something like this:
Nu Squadron Pilot (18)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Linked Battery (2)
Long-Range Scanners (0)
XG-1 Assault Configuration (1)

Death Troopers (2)
TIE Shuttle (0)
Scarif Base Pilot (22)
ISB Slicer (2)
Tactical Officer (2)
Advanced Ailerons (0)
Total: 100
I'm tossing up between (Great personality) Rey and Crimson Specialist, OR HackSaw Nora and 2x Expertac Wookiee Liberators.
QuickStrike!
Quickdraw - Tie/SF
Imperial Trainee - Tie-Striker x 2
Scarif Base Pilot - Tie-Reaper
Got a bunch a practice with it and i'm starting to do pretty good. The reaper has twin ion mk2 + System Officier, to give TL to the strikers, so it's a pretty strong alpha strike. And the strikers + reaper are super fun to fly!
Part of me wants to play in a Store Championship or two as a last hurrah to 1.0. Meanwhile another part of me never wants to play against 1.0 reinforce ever again.
Most likely my 5 Strikers. I have been enjoying using a Scarif Base Pilot and the Striker All-Stars, but I do miss that 5th ship when I do.

I have lots of experience flying triple Defenders, but I had never flown them with a support/blocker ship. I decided to bring them to probably my last 1.0 tournament, as the event was assumed to be light-hearted and with little if any world meta. Anecdotally the store had also helt the first SC in my country, which was the first tournament I had participated in.
Fantasiapelit X-Wing SC, Jyväskylä, Finland, June 30th
11 participants
Round 1: bye
Round 2: QD, Inqy, Yorr (Palp)
Blocked Inqy twice and shot him down, then QD and managed to keep badly damaged ships out of combat.
Round 3: Nym, Xixor, Thweek (didn’t use his ability 
)
Went all-out at Nym and shot him down in two rounds, then mopped up. The only game that didn’t go to time with one minute to go.
Round 4: Dengar, Thweek , Sunny
Both of us at 3-0 with guaranteed places in top 4, took some risks but defended well against Dengar’s revenge shots and shot him down.
Top 4: Slaver, Slaver, Slaver (Jabba)
Tense game against my friend: suffered my only ship loss in the tournament (the Academy ) early and couldn’t finish any of the Slavers, only halved two. Last roll of the game required two evades from four greens and a damaged Delta was saved.
Final: Wedge, Wes, Luke, Rex
It was getting late and the opponent had a three-hour drive home, so he chose to joust. It didn’t help, as the only loss in that was Rex. Then managed to recycle damaged ships in and out, gnawing Wedge and Wes piece by piece.
What im likely flying at store champs in 2 weeks. Its likely not to win but ill have fun.

I don't know if I'm going to any 1.0 Store champs, but until 2.0 hits I'll probably be playing this:
Miranda
Bomblet, TLT, C-3PO, Multi-spectral Camo
Wedge
Predator, FAA, Refit, Servomotors, IA
Wes
VI, FAA, Refit, Servomotor, IA
Miranda does Miranda things, staying alive, plinking with TLT and bombleting stuff while point fortressing and the two X-wing form one **** of an anvil. FAA gives them nice mobility, at least on approach to combat and while bugging out.

ooooh, wait I want to try this...
I doubt its most effective.
But the shenanigans Palping into Kylo. Delicious. And Krennic and Vermiel tears. I can get behind this. Is Adv Sensors really needed?
I am so sad that I went full on try-hard and sucked at my only store champs this season by flying Miranda, Ezra, Lowhhrick.
Given an opportunity to go to a second one in the next month ... (unlikely) ... I'll be flying the following absolute nonsense.

This squad served me well in the past few tournaments (last in june). But that was before the new wave. Let us see how well it does against Reapers and the new X-Wing.

Looks like a great squad. I suspect you could swap out Advanced Sensors for Tactician on the TIE Shuttle for extra shenanigans.
Highly likely this:
- Ezra Bridger (Sheathipede) [Snap Shot, Hera Syndulla, R3-A2, Phantom II] (22)
- Lothal Rebel [Fire Control System, Autoblaster Turret, Courier Droid, Ghost (PII)] (39)
- Lothal Rebel [Fire Control System, Autoblaster Turret, Courier Droid, Chopper] (39)
Lots of dice and dice mods, lots of hull, and that pest Bridger, with the option to do some janky surprise deployments (5k into Ezra deploy into Snaping a Countess Ryad in front of a rock). I flew it to a 4-0 in a PS6 max/no Harpoon/no TLT tournament, and I think it's got legs in standard X-Wing.
We'll miss ya, B.Rick.
I'm taking Miranda+Poe.
Flew Rebel mini swarms for almost 2 years. Figured I'd get some Ace-Wing in before the efficiency-nerfing.

The combination of broken elements in this list is hard to imagine until you play it. I've played close to a dozen games with it, most against what myself and other locals considered to be "hard counters", and I haven't lost a game yet.
Advanced Sensors takes away Whispers biggest vulnerability: getting blocked without an action or shot. This kills Whisper immediately. With AS, it's never a problem.

It's a pretty solid list for sure. You've had a ton of close games which is great.
I'm thinking of bringing awings back for store champs by the way. I'm not gonna beat your list. But I'm gonna have ******* fun. I drove B to quit before playing out with Tycho and Jake pretty much soloing his squad
