[List] Roark Rush - a W4 list

By Rhinoviru3, in X-Wing

New List I've been working on - Roark Rush

Roark Garnet (19)
Tactician (2)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Tarn "The Destroyer" Mison (23)
R7 Astromech (2)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)
Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)
Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)
Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

Plan here is to present two major threats - a mini swarm of pew-y death and the support roles of Roark and Tarn.

Roark is passing PS12 for shenanigans, but is dishing out stress and Ion with R2 turret attacks. He is behind the scenes, scheming whilst the mini swarm pew away - concentrating on Roark is an obvious choice, but doing so will mean alot of red dice will come your way from 5 other Rebel Ships. Tarn is here to guard Roark and be, frankly, annoying as a late-game closer.

Meanwhile, Bandits are rolling around in a swarm formation, throwing focused reds at my foes. Bandits also make superlative blockers and action deniers, and are to be feared when working together! Should the player concentrate on them, they will find that the will not only lose their actions quickly, but be subject to Ion and Stress from Roark.

Thoughts?

PS: I typically have flown XXXZZZ lists, so this is basically a follow-on thought from that mentality of flying :)

Tactician has to have the enemy in your front arc to work, which could be hard with the hawk. other than that.... I like this list, may have to steal it and try it out.

Whoa.

Whoa.

My bad, I messed up with Tactician a little!

Phooey! Thanks for the heads up! As the previous total was 99pts, I am considering dropping Tactician for RecSpec. Double focus is surprisingly nice on a HWK

I tried one game with Tactician on Roark just to try it out.

If flown correctly you can still get the shot lined up.

For two points I liked it so far. Only one game with it so well have to try a few more
