The Scorpions Sting

By Englishpete, in X-Wing

I have been toying with fast, elite builds again for the Empire and have come up with the Scorpions sting.

Turr Phennir
Veteran Instincts

Turr and Fel form the pincers sweeping round on the enemy whilst Kath is the mandibles/body and tail.

The list has punch, manuverability and staying power. It moves last and fires first mostly.

The tail sting is provided by the Seismic Charge and rear arc.

It's a pretty robust list that should give the enemy a real hard time.

Interesting. I've had good luck with a pincer attack with my doom shuttles. I'm curious to see how it works with interceptors instead.

I will say, if you can free up the points, Kath Scarlet is a beast when you give her expert handling. A large craft with barrel roll is incredibly capable of getting into or out of firing arcs.

very true on the Expert Handling. If I went that route I'd drop VI and Seismic for the points.
