Triple Threat (Wes, Wedge, Ibtisam)

Critastropher (Etahn, Ten, Blue)

Old Dogs of War (Salm, Dutch, 2xBandits)

Yes, I do. My favorite:

Kracker Jax.

Krassis + HLC

Carnor Jax

Doomshuttle

The only name I've come up with that I was really proud of was the following:

Queen of Hearts:

Kath Scarlet

Royal Guard Pilot x2

It just fit too perfectly, what with the Red color scheme and the RGP's to add the "Royal" flair.

Aside from that I usually name my squads using quotes from the movies.

I figured I might as well start a silly thread, since a quick search didn't turn up much. Mostly, I was curious if anyone else on here enjoys naming their X-Wing builds, whether it's something serious, silly, or punny (heck, two outta three ain't bad). I'm sure a lot of us have heard of Biggs Walks the Dags/Dogs, so let's hear what else you've got.

EDIT: Can't believe I forgot the obligatory "Han Shoots First."

To start things off, I'll list a couple of my builds:

Team Trench Run : Biggs, Luke, Wedge. These guys were my first tourney list, and I'm sure a lot of you have flown this trio, too, though I'm curious if anyone has any particularly amusing names for it.

Team Xbox: Wedge, Blue Squadron Pilot, Jan. So named because that's what it kinda sounds like when you try to say "X, B, Hawk," really fast.

Team Xbox 360: Wes, Ibby+HLC+Opportunist, Jan. This is the second incarnation of the above list. I'm really enjoying this list, though I can't say the same for my opponents. Someone on the receiving end of it gave it the moniker "Doom-Cannon," which amuses me on a personal level...

Team Xbox One: Wes+Swarm Tactics, Ibby+HLC+Opp, Roark. The third iteration of the two lists directly above. I've run this team a few times, and while shooting first is nice, it gets a bit hairy when Wes and Ibby get separated. Right now, I'm sticking with Team Xbox 360 (just like in real life, as far as Microsoft consoles are concerned).

2EZ: Corran, Etahn, Bandit Squad Pilot, Bandit Squad Pilot. I'm looking to fly this a few times once, I get my hands on Wave 4 (which should be sometime in the next 48 hours).

Wes Shoots First: Wes + VI, Wedge+Opp, Biggs. I think this one is fairly self-explanatory, though I have yet to actually run it.

Wes Really Shoots First: Wes, Wedge+Opp, Roark. See above comment...

Well, what about you guys? Also, feel free to include any upgrades/combos that are relevant, as I did above.

Yes, I do this often. Sometimes I even make subpar squads just to fit a name.

Red Eye Flight: Soontir, Carnor Jax and Kir Kanos with various blends of upgrades.

Die Wedge, Die! (can't actually post the real name for this one): Mauler + VI, Vader + Outmaneuver (formerly Marksmanship), Concussion Missiles, Engine Upgrade, Soontir Fel +PtL + RGT + Shield Upgrade + Targeting Computer

The Emperor Does Not Share Your Optimistic Appraisal Of The Situation: BST + Elusiveness x5, Dark Curse

I was particularly fond of my latest build:

"Mis-on-A'baht" - Etahn A'Baht + Tarn Mison + Bandit Squadron Pilot + Prototype Pilot.

Lol I call my main list katarvenutch

Kyle, Garven, Dutch.

They are all ps 6 so some people call it the devils list or kyles creepy van due to the action sharing and passing.

i usualy dont name my lsits but i have this krassis with a mini swarm of 3 ties where howlrunner is leading em

iam calling it Krassis and Friends

Krassis Trelix + seismic charge + co-pilot + HLC

Howlrunner + stealth device + swarm tactics

Winged Gundark

Night Beast

iam usually a guy that flies 6 tie fighter lists i have over 12 different build 6 tie fighter compositions but the krassis list is by far my favorite one have 4 different 4 tie interceptor lists aswell but the krassis list is more fun to fly ^^

I name all my builds Steve .

What can I say... I like the name.

Lol I call my main list katarvenutch

Kyle, Garven, Dutch.

They are all ps 6 so some people call it the devils list or kyles creepy van due to the action sharing and passing.

Going with Kyle and "Dutch"s last names makes it roll better.

Katarvender.

It's a veryy funny part of build squads, names that represent the squad, try to intimidate with the name, feel the synergy and imagine in words, greettings.

i ran 1 i called Lukes Big Wedge

you geussed it

Luke

Biggs

Wedge

I've run Chewie and a pair of Blue Squadron pilots that I called "Wookie Blues".

That's about as clever as I get.

I have a friend who named his y wing squad "I've my ion you". Guess what upgrade they had.

I prefer names that are simple and make it clear what the build is. I find many names are utterly ridiculous and don't elicit the composition all that well. That said, I'm a strict Imperial with no sense of humour.

My regionals list that is now 48-7, I call it the "Cursed Royal Bloodlines"

3x RGPs+Hull+PtL

Darkcurse

List I am working on,

Echoes on the Wind (Phantom+stealthed ints)

HiDef Wings (Hob, Dutch, X, B)

Strawberry Fields (AAXX)

Plus a few others that I can't think of witty names for just yet xD

I usually name mine after situations...

Duel falcons... Lando and chewies amazing adventures... Hans carbonite years...

Lando, Dutch and rookie... Because everyone knows that duel falcons are for dicks.

Had a 15 minute walk to a tourney in an absolute down pour... Moist-Wing...

The only list I've actually named is Chewie's Knives.

Chewie w/PtL + Falcon

2x Dagger w/Adv Sensors

I like naming other peoples' builds: "Bad," "Garbage," "Stupid," and my favorite, "Just... why?"

I'm joking, of course.

What can I say... I like the name.

HAMMY!!! I didn't know you played X-Wing. How are things Over the Hedge?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM_JN3Hn8Uk

Haha! I name all my squadrons so EVERYONE ELSE MUST DO SO TOO!

FYI you can see everyone else's names in the squadron lister — http://xwing-builder.co.uk/list — there's some corkers in there.

I started mostly because as VS said, he forces everyone to do so. But I like doing it anyway, helps keep them straight when I look my list.

I don't get the hate though. If I tell you that I'm playing Bantha Foder or Jan and the Boys, sure that may not tell you much about the squad, but as soon as I put the ships on the table it should be pretty clear what I'm going to play.

It's also not like you can't ask WTH is the Bantha Foder Squad?

I have 'Graduation Day' which is a mini Howlswarm with an OSP and sundries, and I've been thinking about a Blue Plate Special, x2 Blues with Advanced Sensors and Dash Rendar. Not sure it would fit though.

I made one (that is pretty useless to play with, but fun to build/name) called:

"Echo and the Bountymen."

Echo with particle accelerator, and two bounty hunter Firesprays.

I haven't named any of my lists so far, mostly because I like to use a different one every time if I can, but I was thinking of something along these lines earlier today.

Pretty much I just came up with the idea of a "Rebel Rainbow" its an ABXY list with green, blue, red and gold squadron's respectively. I don't know what upgrades you'd chuck in there and I don't actually own a Y-wing so I'll not be running it myself :/
