Chewbacca, the Bandit King

By Scizzler, in X-Wing

So I've been mulling around some new list ideas, (currently I'm running Chewy w/ Daggers), and I came up with something I want to try. This is what I have:

Chewy: PTL, Recon Specialist, C3P0 and MF Title

Bandit Squad x4

You're looking at 11 attack dice 29 hp. I'm not sure if I like having C3P0 on the list, I might sub him out for something different like navigator or hull upgrade. (When Kyle Katarn comes out, he will be a PERFECT fit).

Anyway, thought I'd share and see what you guys think!

C-3PO is AMAZING on a falcon.

I've been playing an Outer Rim Smuggler lately with C-3PO and it saves me about 2-4 hits per game.

It also works if someone stresses you - since there is all this new stuff that hands out stress.

Keep 3po take off Recon specialist

Your only going to attack once, and with only one evade dice no sense having another focus

Since you have the title on there you probably won't use Recon spec anyway and if you do the other focus probably won't pay off

Slightly OT, but why do so many people count attack dice when evaluating the strength of a list's offense? It's misleading at least as often as it's helpful.

I have found having 2 focuses really boosts your offense and your defense not to mention the at least 2 guaranteed evade with the token and 3P0 every point of damage you can avoid with defense dice on Chewy makes him that much more viable.

It becomes relevant in the sense that some lists (particularly 3-4 ship lists) need to have the ability to remove opposing dice from the game ASAP or the list's ability to sustain offense despite losing ships.

I have a somewhat similar list that I've been playing with and I've so far had reasonable success. I call it "Wookie and The Bandits":-

Chewie w/ Predator + Luke + C3PO + EU + MF title (60)

3 x Bandit Sqd Pilot w/ 1 x HU (39)

One less Bandit then yours but with a more mobile Chewie. Based on my experience with this list I'm pretty sure yours will do similarly well. Though I rely heavily on EU to get Chewie's ass out of trouble a PTL Chewie w/ Kyle and C3PO is pretty beastly as well and I think you'll get some good mileage out of those 4 Bandits.

I ran a EU Han list for an AAOIA event (came in 2nd). People really under value how good EU is! We're just ahead of the curve :P
