Boba the knife fighter

By Keffisch, in X-Wing

I'm not too worried about Phantoms, I've flown against (and with) them a lot. (famous last words? :P)

My main concerns are 4-ship Rebels and C3PO Falcon lists.

4 ship rebel and falcons melt against a well flown swarm especially if you throw in some interceptors with Howlrunner support.

That I know, yet there's no swarm here.

Just a Firespray with Squint support. I've tried mini-swarms but they always felt weak. :)

I have always found SD a big risk as all to often you can roll a batch of blanks and even one hit getting though cost you hull and the SD. Have you tried dropping the SD and up one RGP to soontir fel both with PTL, this leaves you with 2pts spare you could either ad a sizemic charge on fet, TC on fel or if your open to the idea predator on fet.

I like predator on fet as it's an offensive up grade that you don't need to trigger, it leave you to use either focus or evade action and works against everything very well. Dropping VI might be a gamble for you though but without knowing your reasons for it, it's hard to say. If it's to try and shoot before Han, I'm not sure it's worth it as when Han takes it it make fet still shoot after ( I have been running Han with it cos it makes sure it shoots before all phantoms and most others ships), if it's to shoot before phantoms it's a fair call and I can see your point and I would suggest giving both a run and see what works for ys( if it's for phantoms the above suggestion about RC is a winner, they will avoid shooting fet )

As for soontir everyone has there ideas about him , I just know that he tanks well with PTL , shoots great and can easy flank all the other rebel ships other than the falcon, even the the other turret ships can be avoided reasonably well as they only have range 2, PS 9 is always handy and I have heard many a swam players lament about him.

I hope this helps

What about teaming Soontir and Bobba?

sample squad:

99pts

Bobba + Predator + Gunner + EU (51)

Dark Curse (16)

Soontir + PTL + Targeting Computer (32)

some interchangeable parts here.

TC on soontir could be stealth device.

Predator and Gunner together might be overkill?

DC could be Backstabber.

Not a bad idea,

1 TIE and 1 Squint feels ever so fragile though. :)
