Rebel swarm list.

By Flyingbrick, in X-Wing

Have this idea for a swarm list it isn't tanky and stuff but would be fun i think, what do you folks think?

2x Rookie pilots

3x Green squad pilots.

Give it a shot! Once Rebel Aces finally drops, you can throw Chardaan Refit in there to give 2 of your Greens Push the Limit, still leaving you 1 point for an R2 Astromech on one of the X's or for initiative.

Personally, I can't wait for Rebel Aces to drop. Once it does, I plan on trying an all A-wing Elite list.

Tycho, PTL, Refit

Jake, PTL, Refit

Arvel, Refit, Test Pilot, PTL

Gemmer, Refit, Test Pilot, PTL

It should be a blast to fly, leaving me with 1 point to spare for initiative. I could throw another Test Pilot of Jake or Tycho and give one of them Veteran Instincts..

Better rebel swarm

3 x rookie

Roark with Ion turret

This is my Rebel Swarm list: (and yes, I have bought 4 A-Wing Expansions, 2 Defenders, and own 2 Rebel Aces box sets from GenCon to run it with all the correct cards)

GOB Squadron for Green Orange Blue (two ships paints each color).

Played it against a Decimatore and 2 Squints list and lost 2 of the 6 ships by the time I killed off the last of his.

Very maneuverable, pretty durable with the 2 shields, and 3 defense dice all the time with options for evades are great! :)

Best of luck with your Swarm version :) They're fun to play :)



PTL would be better on Greens instead of Predator.

Hey thanks for the ideas, i am haveing some evil ideas forming from what has been said so far.

PTL would be better on Greens instead of Predator.

You think so? Hmm...I'll have to try it out. I value the hitting better than the getting out of arcs (with the barrel roll and boost combo) so I think that Predator gives you a 4/8 chance to get a hit of some type from the red dice in lieu of Evading and Focus'ing for a 2/8 chance to turn an eye to a hit.

Well, if you're flying A-Wings, you're not Barrel Rolling ;) Unless of course you're using Jake, or Expert Handling

But, it is nice to have the focus and boost each turn if you need it or focus and TL. I'm not a math-winger, but I imagine the likelihood of hitting with a Focus/TL Combo would be better than a Predator.
