Friendly Tournament - New Wave 4 ships

By Asmodi, in X-Wing

Hi all.

Taking part in a small friendly tournament tomorrow.

I would really like to use my new Wave 4 ships but having just got back from holiday and not even opened them yet I need a little advice on set up.

I have 2 x Defenders and 2 x Phantoms.

I also have at least 1 of everything else including Imperial Aces.

Anyone got a quick and dirty 100 point list that they have used with the new Wave 4 ships or a list you have been toying with?

I would prefer to go Imperial for this tourney but I also have loads of Rebs.

Wave 4 Rebels I have are

1 x Headhunter

1 x E wing.

Thanks for any advice folks. I have a thousand non Wave 4 lists but really want to use my new toys.

Echo

Veteran Insticts

Advance cloak

Whisper

Veteran instincts

Advanced cloak

Two ties

Or

Shuttle

I haven't tried that but just looks like fun

Sounds interesting with the Shuttle.

I have just had it repainted in sexy blacks and charcoals to represent Darth's own personal Lamda.

I'm planning to use Echo, Vessery, and Shuttle tonight.

What are you going to be taking with them?

Not 100% on what to give the shuttle in order to benefit the other 2.

Very similar thread:

Might I suggest:

99 points

Whisper + VI + Adv. Cloaking Device (37)
Echo + VI + Adv. Cloaking Device (35)
Omicron Group Pilot + Engine Upgrade + Fire Control System (27)
And to quote myself:

Another option is to put FCS on the Albino Space Cow instead of Advanced Sensors. This accomplishes 2 things:

  1. 99 points, so you have initiative
  2. High PS, turreted ships are the only real counter to the Phantoms. FCS on the Shuttle will let it hammer on them round after round. This is essentially the Buzzsaw minus Gunner, which isn't needed against low agility targets.

I expect in a real matchup that the OGP will get killed pretty quickly, being all alone, but by that point the Phantoms are going to be tearing it up.

I am absolutely going to have to try this build out myself.

Echo with Adv Cloaking Device, Veteran Instincts, and Fire Control Systems.

Colonel Vessery

Omicron shuttle with weapons engineer and St-321 title.

Echo VI advanced cloak fire control system

Whisper VI advanced cloak fire control system

Doom shuttle OGP Vader.

Craziness with a lot of punch.

I like the idea of Defender, Phantom & Shuttle. I prefer PTL and Engine on Vessary over Title and Wpns Eng on the shuttle though as think the Shuttle will be able to Tgt Lock ok early and Echo can help out once the cow is out of position.

42 Vessary, PTL, Engine

37 Echo, VI, FCS, ACD

21 Omicron

I got into the game for the TIE Phantom. Here I used Echo, Colonel Vessery, and an Omicron shuttle to crush my brother’s rebellion. 5 attack dice at range 1, Echo dancing around and targeting whoever she wishes, and Vessery endlessly K turning.

SO. MUCH. FUN.
