Headhunter as a Support Ship, not a Swarm Ship?

By zlynn22, in X-Wing

i dont see the swarms effecting my main list to much.

i run

soontir(PTL,stealth)

fenir(PTL,stealth)

vader(PTL,engine upgrade)

have killed swarms

Now these swarms have missles and target l lock.

I think I'll be running it as both a swarmer and a support ship. My favorite hypothetical list is 3 rookies and 3 bandits, where the bandits perform both duties (support the X's to finish their kills, and making my 100 point list go over 5 ships for rebels)

I'm going to fly this asap... It's going to have the power to beat swarms consistently which is one of the lists 5 rebels struggle against.

Dagger + Advanced sensors

Blue

Bandit + assault

Bandit + assault

Bandit + concussion

If the ion pulse is worth anything that concussion could be that and then upgrade the blue to dagger. Call this build "This is a Stick up".

*edited... no advanced sensors on Blue. Could work with lesser missiles depending on how good they are.

This build is currently 102pts. You can drop concussion and up the Blue to a 2nd Dagger to round out at 100pts, or drop Dagger to 2nd Blue to keep concussion.

I am liking running them in pairs with an X-Wing or Y-Wing so I can combine Flechette Torps and Ion Missiles. A most nasty combo.

I know, right? At 5pts per pair it's a bargain to neutralize a priority target.
