(I posted this on the general forum not realizing we now have a Squad list subforum so I repost it here)
So I got a GR-75 for Christmas (yes I pretty late considering it's release date but I didn't want to bother with epic...) and my 3rd X-wing with it so I began considering 3X list.
Of course there is the usual Wedge+Luke+Biggs but I wanted some variation on this so here is what I ended up with after some thought:
-Luke Skywalker, R2D2, Predator, improved shield: 39pts
-Biggs Darklighter, R5P9, improved shield: 32pts
-Tarn Mison, R7 astromech, improved shield: 29pts
Total: 100pts
I wanted to play with the two build considered "tanky" which are Luke+R2 and Tarn+R7 with improved shield for even more Tankines.
Tarn took wedge spot since I wanted emphasis on staying power rather than offense (I'm aware that offense often trump mitigation in this game but I wanted to try anyway).
I kept Biggs on the rooster since its ability goes well with a defensive mindset when played well, but because of this mindset I didn't want him naked as usual so I added an astromech and some more shield to help him not to fall too fast.
With this done I ended up with 3 spare points so I put a predator on Luke for added damage chance. The flying plan is quite the same as any 3X with Biggs: try to force the opponent to spread fire with positioning while wearing out his forces hopefully enough for my superior staying power to get me the upper hand in the late game.
Any thought and comment are welcome, late merry Christmas and early happy new year to all of you.
