We’re going to be podcasting a Worlds preview and we’re looking for lists our users would like to be covered in the cast. The TH-30-R15T Droid is happy to calculate it’s chances. We’re looking for non Swarm, Non Phantom, non Falcon lists you think will work but if you have an interesting take on the former squad types by all means throw it this way. Feel free to post them here, pm me, or email [email protected]…. But really post them here. There are other people who are smart about xwing too that would love to help you.

Also we have a surprise. here is a teaser...

I am not attending, but if I were...

I would like to see you're thoughts on this:

Sleepy Fat Han... (zzz...Han)

Han (60)
MF Upgrade
C3P0

Gunner
Engine Upgrade

Veteran Instincts

3 Tala Squadron Pilots (39)

I'll add that to the Fat Han archetypes.

I used a similar list to that yesterday, though with Luke and 3 bandits... Gives you 98pts and a great chance at initiative for mirror matches...

It is lazy flying though... dull to play with, dull to play against...

nice one submitted by top 8 worlds competitor Betes on TC

Luke VI R3A2 Engine Blue HLC Bandit Bandit Bandit

I see now... you are looking for lists that dot not fit into the three 'Pillar' archetypes, Fat Falcons, Swarms (Rebel or Imperial) and Whisper+ Lists, that will be prevalent at worlds this year.

Ok, this will be a challenge, but I accept!

Also, doesn't the list above technically fall under the Rebel Swarm category as it is 5 ships?

Here's one:

Col. Vessery w/ VI

Omnicron Shuttle w/ Gunner, FCS, and Engine Upgrade

Turr Phenir w/ PTL and Shield Upgrade

I'm tempted to take out either FCS or Gunner for Weapons Engineer, but not sure.

You need to talk about Starslinger72's list. That thing is a monster. Took my Han/Corran list's Han down to 4 hull in opening exchange. Wasn't even close range :(

List is:

Vessery VI HLC

Soontir ptl TC

OGP Vader

If anyone has not tried this list out I'd recommend it. It chomps everything. Your other lists will feel like they don't do any damage by comparison.

I think I will. Thanks!

Sounds like fun.

I like that vs falcons a great deal.

I think i'm already to 12 or so lists submitted. I love our listeners.

Wow. I just looked through all my squads and realized I've had no real inspiration since Nationals. Or at least nothing that doesn't include wave 5. I must be in a funk.

Still, here's a Nera list based on the 3B-Roark list. Spend the extra 4 points on FCS/flechettes/Chewie as you see fit:

Nera Dantels (26)

Flechette Torpedoes (2)

Roark Garnet (19)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

Total: 96

View in Yet Another Squad Builder

Jonus Brothers.

Captain Jonus (+ up to 4 points of whatever)

Delta Squadron Pilot (+HLC)

Delta Squadron Pilot (+HLC)

Rebel: Roark Mixes it up

Roark+ion

Kraken+swarm tactics+ ion pulse

Blue + adv sensors + flechette

Jake + vi + outmanuever

Or Roark Remix

Roark+ blaster + recon

Kraken + swarm

Blue+ fire control + E2 + jan

Jake + vi + outmanuever

Some combo of the two perhaps. 2 12's and a 9. Room for ion or stress. Cluster up Kraken for extra falcon fighting (actions and dice)

For the Empire:

Fett+vi+rebel captive

Mauler + vi

RGP+ ptl

Academy tie

Or if you're really confident:

Fett+vi+rebel captive

Backstabber

Sigma+ stygian + intel agent

Academy tie

There is room for vi mauler but intel agent a 99pt bid is probably better.

I expect Roark to be very popular.

I know you said "No Phantoms or Swarm lists", but you obviously mean no "typical" lists. :P So, might as well throw in this little "gem" I quite enjoy.

A-Typical Phantom & Swarm

Howlrunner

Academy Pilot x 4

Shadow Squadron Pilot + ACD + Rebel Captive

100pts

Typical swarms in this meta include the 7/8 Tie Variety, and typical Phantoms are Whisper and Echo :P

I know we've all considered it, haha.

no this would absolutely qualify for the "interesting take" option

I love Tarn. Someone submitted what I consider to be the best Etahn list in

Etahn r2, ptl, advanced sensors

Tarn r7

Bandit x3

I Think tarn slots in nicely with 2a2b and tarn r7

It's not going to break the meta by any means, but I've had fun with:

"Blount Instruments" - 99 Points

Lt. Blount - Assault Missiles

Dagger Squadron - Advanced Sensors x2

Gold Squadron - Ion Cannon Turret

This is what I like to call a toolbox squad. You have tools for different situations that you can use.

Something I've been fooling around with because I love Vader.

Vader-Outmaneuver/Proton Rockets/Engine up

Howlrunner-Push the Limit

Black Squadron-Wingman

Academy x2

I'd love to see a HWK do well and I have a love affair with Jans.

Phantom Menance [99 points]

Jan Ors: Ion Cannon Turret, Decoy, Nien Nunb

Nera Dantels: 2x Flechettes, Failsafe, Deadeye, FCS

Prototype: refit

Prototype: refit

The obvious trick is keeping Jan alive. And the PS8 bid doesn't help against some of the top threats but it is still quite good.

Head Shot [100 points]

Jan Ors: Blaster Turret, [Recon or Kyle], Veteran Instincts

Dagger: HLC

Tala: Homing missile

Tala: Homing missile

The aim is to take out some soft targets early with missiles (fire one a turn with Jan's boost). Then mop up outnumbered and outgunned opponent.
