5 Y wings with Autoblaster
We call it "Banhammer".
Who would get in front of that?

Indeed. And each ship gets two weak attacks. The second one can't be negated, but you have to stack upgrades to have multiple modifications. And then, there's the Range 1 issue.
But, otherwise, I think it would be funny.
How pray tell will your slow cow's ever catch anything at range one? you cant give them all green moves at speed 3.
Unless the other guy is really slow you're not going to get this to work you'd be far far better off mixing in some regular y-wings with turreted ion guns to reduce the movement options so you can get into range one.
It wouldn't be an awful squad, but I don't think it will be all that effective. It has a ton of HP, but unless you get in close, your offensive output is far from stellar. A Phantom would pick you apart. Really anything with any maneuverability would give this squad a tough fight. It would stomp a shuttle build, and maybe out last a swarm. If you could get in close and block a Falcon, you could put a hurting on one as well. I still think ICT is more useful with BTL.
Be a fun build to try. But think there's room for the autoblaster turret mixed in with ICT's, like 2 and 2.

One trial run would be more than enough. It would be a disaster unless the other player wanted to joust you for literally no reason.

I guess the first problem with this list is that you would have a hard time concentrating your fire against opponents that are more agile than you (read: nearly everyone). Sure, you can take 40 points of damage, but you only have five defensive dice amongst the whole group. I think against a reasonable list, you're looking at a long hour or so.
Certainly a challenging list to fly. I second that you might want to mix up the turret types.
Lose the titles and it gets interesting. Offensive output is not great, but far from terrible. Spread out and you cover lots of area with your undodgeable turrets. Lots of HP. Not a bad squad actually.
The last thing you want to do is k turn because you need that focus or TL to fire the blaster effectively, otherwise your looking at one primary and one and a half secondary hits which isn't that scary.

This. I'd much rather have the five turrets covering the whole table and leaving no place to run than try to keep my target in arc just for an extra primary attack with unmodified dice.
Odd no one has spotted the obvious problem: Autoblaster is a cannon upgrade not a turret so cannot be used on Y-wings

Look at the new preview article where you will see the autoblaster turret.
Doh hadn't seen that one spoiled, on facebook they showed every card except that one

No... I wouldn't field 5 Y's but...
2x Gold + A4 + Auto Turret + R2
2x Blue + HLC
Sounds awesome. They go after the Golds, the Blues pound them. But they'll probably just go after the Blues and that makes it easier for the Golds to get where they need to be and pound on them, while the Blues still pound on them.
What are they going to do? Try and hang back and snipe the Golds?
Who would get in front of that?
Well I still see some players that fly in front of 3 B-wings /Tie Interceptors.

when did you see me play? 
I would like to take this list against a Tie Swam for no other reason then fun. But dropping the title on all would be a better idea or as others have said a mix of ABT and ICT
But i do like a challenge
