Can you build a good 3 B-wing list?

By bmwrider, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm sure one of you can build a good 3 B wing list.

I have looked around a bit but can't seem to find any posts with a good number of B-wing lists, I want to try one for casual play. :)

I just want to try it for fun

I just recently got enough B-Wings, so I haven't run it yet myself, but I'm a big fan of the "Tachyon Blade*" control list:

3x Dagger Squadron Pilot (24)

+ Advanced Sensors (3)

+ Ion Cannon (3)

+ B-Wing/E2 (1)

+ Tactician (2)

*Tactician/Ion Cannon = Tachyon; Daggers = Blades

I've had success lately with my 4 Bs and a Z95 list. its mostly just a rebel swarm list.

Jonathan Gomes & Scott Williams (“Panic Attack”): Blue x 3 + + B/E2 + Tactician, Gold + Ion Turret + R3A2 (for the record I adore this list) - See more at: http://teamcovenant.com/sozin/2014/11/08/2014-x-wing-world-championships-top-32-report/#sthash.Wle8zO0k.dpuf
and I think I successfully linked the team covenenant report on that tournament as well.

Nice!

A friend of mine has run 3 blue each with ion cannon and e2 w/ gunners and fcs. It's been fairly devastating.

Some good lists here, thank you folks, I plan to try them all.

This looks pretty cool.

Not just for fun, I got a 2nd place at a SC with this list!

I called this "Lightsabers? No, LaserDaggers!" :D

how about this:

===== 3 B's ===== 100 points

Pilots ------

Ten Numb (38)

B-Wing (31), Fire-Control System (2), “Mangler” Cannon (4), Veteran Instincts (1)

Dagger Squadron Pilot (31) x 2

B-Wing (24), Fire-Control System (2), Flechette Cannon (2), B-Wing/E2 (1), Tactician (2)

I find flechette cannon to be pretty weak; for the cost flechette torps are better since they retain full damage. If you're going to have Tactician on those two B's, I'd personally downgrade to Blues and swap both Flechette Cannons for Manglers. Then put Calculation on Ten Numb instead of VI, so you can essentially guarantee at least one crit so long as you don't roll all blanks (and with FCS, that's a pretty low probability).

haha same discusion diferent post ;) seriously give it a chance, you'll love it!

You might be able to force more damage through with E2 FCS Gunner Dagger Squadrons instead of HLC.

IMHO, I think the Daggers(Lightsabers as LouisC calls em), are sooo much fun to fly,

what a trio of Home Wreckers or as I like to call them, " the Cheese Grinders"

Flangin' 4 dice at any range...gotta like it.

cheers lads :D !!!

Trade out Calculation for VI on Ten. Calculation is kind of overkill for him, only one of his crits cannot be canceled. I also don't know about Mangler on the Blue. I think I would rather have Ion for great control with Nera's Flechette torps. Then you can fit in munitions failsafe on her.

That is a nice list there. Simple and brutal.

Is there a standardized name on this list? I want to try it out...
