First Tournament Upcoming, Advice Please...

By SnDed, in X-Wing

Was thinking about trying this list:

100 points


PILOTS

Corran Horn (42)
E-Wing (35), R2-D2 (4), Marksmanship (3)

Jan Ors (25)

Keyan Farlander (33)
B-Wing (29), B-Wing/E2 (1), Kyle Katarn (3)

Seems like it can pack a punch and has decent survivability.

Only been playing for a few weeks so relatively new to the game and only have limited ships.

I would probably drop Kyle from Keyan. They don't really jive as well because while Keyan can spend the stress and get a focus he only has 1 agility to spend it on. I would put something else on Keyan. Fire control system is cheap and effective.

I also wouldn't take marksmanship on Corran. It is pretty good, but it uses up you action and then he has nothing to keep him alive. I would consider advanced sensors in its place.

Since its your first tournament I would keep in mind that a new wave just came out and EVERYONE will be running those two new ships. Future tournaments should have a lot higher list diversity.

I agree that Kyle isn't that great on Farlander. For the 4 points you are spending on him you could put an FCS on both Corran and Keyan. If you are using Marksmanship on Corran, FCS will help you to get the most of his double-tap.

I don't care much for HWKs without turrets. I'd probably look to switch Jan out for either Biggs, a Blue Squad, or a Rookie. If you've got some points hanging out maybe use Advanced Sensors on Keyan since you'll want to use a lot of red moves.

Ok, what about this:

Corran Horn (38) E-Wing (35), Outmaneuver (3)
Keyan Farlander (33) B-Wing (29), Enhanced Scopes (1), B-Wing/E2 (1), Saboteur (2)
Biggs Darklighter (29) X-Wing (25), R2-D2 (4)
???
Only got a limited fleet at the mo'
As I said, new player
Got the Core Set, an EWing, a YWing, a HWK and the Rebel Aces pack
Am really fancying the new Scum and Villiany faction as my list so don't really want to get any others...
