FFG: Fettigator's Fat and Grumpy.

By Euph3m1sm, in X-Wing

First a caveat, I have no real creative ability hence ripping off the Fat Han list name. Secondly I seem to capitulate to Falcon builds I somehow manage to fly like a complete noob. In my never ending quest to find a squad with which to take on my nemesis builds I came up with this.

Boba Fett with: Navigator (or rebel captive), EU, outmanoeuvre(or VI). 49

Onyx Defender with HLC. 39

Academy pilot. 12

Hopefully it may even translate to Scum and villainy with some tweaks to the support ships.

Navigator may not be a bad choice for Scum Fett, as he will want to be close to enemies. Combine with Stay on Target for best results.

It has a Defender, so your plan is solid (yes I just stole your line HoboJeebus).

i am thinking along similar lines but with a flanker like Backstabber.

heres i the tentative list:

Bobba Fett (39) + Veteran Instincts (1) + Rebel Captive (3)

Onyx Squadron Pilot (32) + Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

Backstabber (16)

Total: 98pts

i think id consider maxing out and going to 100pts, still tinkering. Maybe Seismic Charge on Bobba? Targeting Computer on Backstabber?

you could also run with double firesprays...

Bobba Fett (39) + Veteran Instincts (1) + Rebel Captive (3)

Bounty Hunter (33)

Omicron Group Shuttle (21) + Vader (3)

Total: 100pts

its a little sturdier. ur finisher is Fett. Vader can crit prime unshielded targets. alternatively something like...

Bobba Fett (39) + Veteran Instincts (1) + Rebel Captive (3)

Bounty Hunter (33)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

Total: 100pts

the academies will likely get left alone with ur firesprays taking the heat early. Putting them in harms way and blocking with them until they get a good opportunity to focus fire is often ur best plan.

another angle might be ion cannon on a defender, its actually pretty good.

Bobba Fett (39) + Veteran Instincts (1) + Rebel Captive (3)

Delta Squadron Pilot (30) + Ion Cannon (3)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

Total: 100pts

this version gives u some long range control over their small fighters and a way of dealing consistent damage without suffering obstruction from asteroids or giving them an extra evade dice.

by the way i think a good name for he list is Bobba Fatt ;)

He is not fat enough. More like athletic Fett.

"Drop" the Onyx to a Delta. It's a bizarre situation where you pay less points for something better.

One of the TIE defender's issues is its white K turn is very blockable. Going from Onyx to Delta saves you two points and makes your K turn much harder to block. The benefits of the higher pilot skill don't outweigh the cost and the more blockable K-turn: you're still going to be moving before and shooting after the named ships.

Plus you don't have to look at Onyx's ghastly picture.

"One day a man approached a carpenter and commissioned the best warship his hands could build. The carpenter knowing the best wood came from the darkest places and guarded by the most fell beasts in the world and would be expensive to obtain. He quoted the client many thousands of talents of gold for this Herculean feat. The man countered that if he is successful, as the shipbuilder the fame and fortune would eclipse any amount of earthly gold he could pay him as the best shipbuilder in the world. Feeling up to the challenge and more than a little flattered the ship builder accepted the commission.

He then set forth into the wilds with his trusty hammer, and long story short many a beast was slain. Plus minus a dragon or two, the details aren't that important. Returning from his expedition; bloody but unbowed, he worked day and night for months shaping the priceless and magical wood into a thing of legend. Eventually the day of reckoning arrived and the client came to collect his ship. Pulling the protective canvas aside the carpenter unveiled a thing of legend and beauty.

"I call it the F-22 Raptor."

"It's beautiful!" came the client's response.

The client climbed into the cockpit, queued up some K-Log on his iTunes and powered up the engines... And promptly crashed into the side of a mountain within 10 minutes.

"LOL Bro your ship sucks!"

He then proceeded to tell the world what a noob the carpenter was. Dejected the carpenter then quit the shipbuilding business that was his and his fathers livelihood and wandered the world. Eventually he was arrested for hanging out with hookers and executed or some such.

The client's name was Goose. The carpenter's name was Jesus M.F. Christ.

True story, bro.*"
