(Fairly) new to the game

By haldir140, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey everyone, Ive had the game for a couple of months now and have a decent amount of ships:

2x Core sets

1x X-Wing Expansion

1x Rebel Aces

1x Hwk-290

1x Imp Aces

1x Tie Fighter Expansion

1x Firespray-31

1x Tie Defender

1x Tie Phantom

(I think that's it- wow quite alot now Ive written it down!)

Anyway, Ive done one tournament which was my first time playing too, being Imperials, I think my list was:

Boba Fett, HLC, VI, SD

Royal Guard Pilot & SD

Obsidian Sqn pilot

Academy Pilot

(this was before I had half of my current ships.)

Out of 3 games, I won 1 and lost 2. As a start I thought this was ok, having never flown the ships before, I learned lots from the first game (I spread my ships nicely along my board edge and sent Boba charging in vs an E wing and 2 B wings I think, whoops).

Now Im thinking of changing my list to use my phantom:

Echo, VI, ACD, FCS, Recon specialist

Howlrunner, Swarm Tactics, Sheild upgrade

Academy pilot

Academy pilot

Academy pilot

I think it would be good, having the swarm go full pelt to the middle of the fight and Echo doing her thing around the edge.

I am still keen to keep the Firespray in use as its just a beast of a ship to look at, maybe using Krassis Trelix and a HLC combo with a mini swarm or two Interceptors with PTL..

Looking forward to getting the msot wanted expansion to use the Firespray more and the Hwk too. Not much of a rebel fan so keeping it Imperial/Scum!

Any tips on anything Ive missed or making the lists better would be great!
