A 300 Point Rebel Epic List for Your Consideration

By sirhc, in X-Wing

I needed a break from labing lists for Store Championships/Regionals so I decided to finally dive into my Rebel Transport box. Just threw this list together and would like your help with developing it.

GR-75 (30 pts)

  • Quantum Storm (4 pts)
  • WED-15 Repair Droid (2 pts)
  • Toryn Farr (6 pts)
  • Combat Retrofit (10 pts)
  • Backup Shield Generator (3 pts)

Gold Squadron Pilot x 5 (40 pts)

  • Ion Cannon Turret (25 pts)

Wes Janson (29 pts)

  • R5-P9 (3 pts)
  • Opportunist (4 pts)

Luke Skywalker (28 pts)

  • R2-D2 (4 pts)
  • Opportunist (4 pts)

Jek Porkins (26 pts)

  • Opportunist (4 pts)

Tarn Mison (23 pts)

  • R2-D6 (1 pts)
  • Opportunist (4 pts)

The objective of this list is straight forward: use the Y-Wings as a screen against the opponent’s picket group, filter the picket group into collisions with the GR-75, get the GR-75 within Range 1-2 of opponents primary threat, utilize Toryn Farr to strip the primary threats of any tokens, and then allow X-Wings enabled with opportunist to “clean-up”.

I think this list is off a bit and needs to be tighened up. First, I don’t think my GR-75 is properly kitted for it’s objective and I think there might be an opportunity to save points. Second, I don’t think I properly constructed my group of opportunists (a riff on Oroshii’s Regional list) as the points spent on the Astromechs are a waste and I suspect I have selected the wrong pilots.

Thank you in advance for any advice you guys can offer.

I'm not sure any of us have enough epic games under our belt to criticize just yet. I love all the Y-wings! Give those ties heck!

I can't help but think shield recovery upgrades are a waste of points in 300 point games. If they enemy is concentrating fire on primary threats, they are unlikely to survive multiple rounds, like they do in 100 points. I may be wrong, and it might be alright on the Transport, but my sense is that those points could be used better elsewhere.

You might consider (when it comes out) putting an R7 on Tarn. It'll allow him to reroll one major attack against him every round.

I like Expanded Cargo Hold 1 pt on the transport as the aft damage deck has no 2 damage crits in it if you can find the one point i think its worth it. Backup Shield Generator works good with Quantum Storm when taking a lot of hits in one round it gives u 1 free sheild at the end
