100 points rebel list with Z-95

By Archaon400, in X-Wing

Hi everyone I am looking forward to the Z-95 and I just can't wait making a squadron list with one of them in it.
So here it is :

X wing
Rookie Pilot - 21

X wing
Rookie Pilot - 21

X wing
Rookie Pilot - 21

X wing
Rookie Pilot - 21

Z-95
Bandit squadron pilot - 12
Concussion missile - 4

TOTAL - 100 points

It is basically the same Idea as the "Blue Thunder squadron" - 2 rookies and 2 Blue with Heavy laser cannons - which is to have the most shot possible.
In the list above we have one more ship and 14 shots at range 2/3 (16 including the missile).
I don't say it will be better than the "blue thunder" but it has some advantages. For example if I go to range 1 then I will have more shots.

I don't especially like the Idea of Z-95 swarms, like 6 Z-95 with missiles because missiles are not very reliable and because when you have fired it, you discard the missile and then you are stuck with the only 2 shots of the Z-95. Moreover, if you don't manage your target lock well you may be unable to shoot your missile.

With my squadron list, I have the 3 shots of the X-wings all along the game and only 1 missile that won't be to hard to be shot successfully. Plus, I have the same amount of HP/shields than a 6 Z-95 swarm = 24


What do you think of it ??

Not much of a Z95 list.

I like:

Jan + ion + nunb

Ibi + ptl

Z95 + hull + missiles

You have a leader, a tanky ibi, and mini xwings.

I'm thinking the Bandit w/ missile x6 could be interesting. An alternative swarm build would be:

Rookie x3

Bandit x3

It is the squad you have minus one Rookie and the Missile but gaining two Bandits and it comes in at 99 points so it shoots before you do.

Maybe this:

Escort Wookie:

Chewbacca + C3PO + Gunner + DtF + Gunner

Bandit x4

Convoy Escort: (98 points, you want initiative)

ORS + APL + Nav + IA (x2)

Bandit + Concussion (x2)

Most of the time I think I'll be using the Z-95s to boost my numbers but not as the primary focus of the squad.

I like the list but i think you would get more value out of dropping the missiles and upgrading one of the rookies to biggs, honestly I feel the Z-95 is the perfect filler ship the rebels have been needing, too often i have been left with 15 points or less building rebel squads and either having to fill out with unnecessary ordinance or rebuild the squad

This. I quite like the idea of:

Hobbie Klivian

Rookie x3

Bandit

I think Chewie+gunner, and 4 bandits will be a tough list. Also an HSF list with 3 bandits w/ assault missiles will pretty scary.

I am liking

Han, Gunner, C3P-O, Millennium Falcon, 3 x Bandit, Ion Missiles.
