First squad to make with the new toys

By Red Castle, in X-Wing

I'm curious. The transport is very soon at our door, and I was wondering what will be the first squad you'll make to try some of the new toys. I've been thinking about:

Hobbie+R2D6+Expert Handling+Flechette Torpedo

Dutch+Ion Turret

Rookie Pilot

Rookie Pilot

32: Porkins w/ PtL, R5-D8

27: Hobbie w/ R3-A2

24: Tarn Mison w/ R2 Astromech

17: Prototype Pilot

It looks fun to fly with 3 of the new named pilots and each has good stress management. Knowing that A-Wing will be 2 points cheaper someday kills me. Can't wait!

My list:

Rebel Debris Field x4

I'll be pairing up Wes, Wedge and Luke for a great opportunity.

Wes

Hobbie + R3A2

Rookie + Flechette Torp

Rookie

Might switch Wes for Porkins plus his droid/PTL.

Tarn will be replacing Rookie / Red Squadron pilots in some of my builds, just to try him out. I'm mostly looking forward to this, however:

44 Lando

5 Gunner

23 Dutch

5 Ion Cannon Turret

1 R2

17 Blount

5 Assault Missiles

I know, wrong toys.

Wes Janson, Squad Leader

Jan Ors, Ion Cannon

Ibtisam, Opportunist, Heavy Laser Cannon

The ultimate glass cannon list!

Ibby gets 6 shots with Tgt Lock and Focus against naked green dice. Get some!

Tarn will be replacing Rookie / Red Squadron pilots in some of my builds, just to try him out. I'm mostly looking forward to this, however:

44 Lando

5 Gunner

23 Dutch

5 Ion Cannon Turret

1 R2

17 Blount

5 Assault Missiles

I know, wrong toys.

Soon enough, soon enough!

I have a feeling that Tarn, given his low price, and Hobbie for the stress factory, will both be the most played pilot out of this box. If I remember correctly, isn't the R7 astromech allowing you to use a Target Lock for defense. If so, Tarn could be a good and cheap tank.
