Anyone Try a V-19 Swarm?

By FatherTurin, in X-Wing

So because I have no willpower, I got another Guardians of the Republic pack and now find myself with 6 V-19s. I randomly thought of this list, and was wondering if anyone had flown anything similar and how it worked out?

Swoop, Synchronized Console, Cluster Missiles

5 Gold Squadron Troopers, all with Synchronized Console and Cluster Missiles

Swoop can be upgraded to Oddball with console and no missiles to start the target lock daisy chain. I mean, Torrents aren’t great, and the low initiative has me worried, but it’s still 30 health and potentially 12 three dice attacks (if somehow a torrent doesn’t get initiative killed).

Any thoughts?

Homing missiles are probably better. They are terrifying when massed with locks.

Stop trying to put missiles on Torrents. There are best used as 25 point naked efficient fillers. Plus all the missiles stink besides barrage rockets or energy shell charges.

Sinker plus 1 generic Arc with 4 torrents is a super solid list. No need for missiles or consoles. Just beef and lots of dice to throw.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of 6 V-19s, must be in want of a good list.

I've found Homing Missiles to be pretty useful on A-wings.

6 plus Jag or a Jedi.

Exactly this IMHO. No good ordinance for torrents unlike droids and every pilot except the Gold Squadron trooper is currently overpriced.
