List: Kickin it old school.

By Stelar 7, in X-Wing

I have been poking at a z95 y-wing list, please tell me what you think since I hope to fly this on Saturday.

Bandit squad with Concussion missile x3 (16) each for (48)

Arien Craken with Swarm Tatics (21)

Dutch with R2 ion turret and stress-pedo 31

I could lose some toys for munitions fail safes but I think having three carriers and two ways to double up will cover it.

Open with two concussion alpha, possibly a stress shot too, then hit a straggler with the last missile and work through whatever is left lining up ion shots for the bandits to finish.

Thoughts?

Oh and when you hear the name of this squad remember Will Smith as Oscar the fish. That is the voice I hear in my head.

If you dropped the flechette on Dutch you could bump 2 of the z's up to talas. But I live in constant fear of predator when building low ps list.

I like it, it seems like it would work well.

If you have the Transport, I'd consider dropping the R2 and Flechettes for R7-T1 (the droid that lets you boost+target lock). It's a very nice toy for Dutch, particularly if he makes it to the endgame.

Hmm mm I don't have the trqnsport, yet, but doesn't that droid also come with the e wings?

I was just pondering:

Bandit w/ Conc x 3

Lando w/ Squad + Gunner

Two ships likely get Alphas, so I put two Bandits out front, and the other one trailing.

Lando cascades the alpha strikes, and then queues up the other Bandit next turn while my two that already offed their payloads become blockers.

Hmm mm I don't have the trqnsport, yet, but doesn't that droid also come with the e wings?

Sorry; that was a moment of early-morning derp on my part. R7-T1 only comes with the E-wing.

Fine list, just need to tweak Dutch ... I would lose the R2 and stresspedo - Dutch will be a primary target (or at least he should be) so, I would do the droid that gives stress and take a stress OR ... I would protect Dutch more ... the droid on an action gives you a chance to get rid of a damage card (via Craken) or the focus for a shield ... so this is predicated on Cracken giving you the action.. or you could give dutch an elite droid and then veteran instincts ... then upgrade one of the Zs ... I like dutch at 8... assures you to get off a target lock pass ( usually).

Thanks dragon. I actually think that R7-T1 is the best food for Dutch since he needs to be target locking to pass on at least the first run. The boost should help him arc dodge after so he can set up shots with the ion turret. We'll see soon I plan to fly this list in a couple days.

I'm useless until I've had my first cup of coffee in the morning.

Got to play against it tonight. I had to supply three folks and I was on the imperial side. 200 point game. It was fun, echo a doom shuttle and three academies, with Kath and two royal guards against wedge and two Blackmoon e's and this list.. Opening salvos messed up the doom shuttle and I demonstrated that I need more practice with Echo. When the smoke cleared one of the Z's was dead and wedge was gone, but all the imps went squish. It was a heck of a lot of fun though.
