Found the wingmen for 58-point Dash

By ThatJakeGuy, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Everybody's been excited for the 58-point Fat Dash, but there has been some major debate on who to fly with the extra 42 points. Here's my take:

Dash Rendar (58 points)

  • Kyle Katarn (crew)
  • Engine Upgrade
  • Heavy Laser Cannon
  • Outrider
  • Push the Limit

The Wingmen:

Wedge Antilles (30)

  • Veteran Instincts

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

100 Points

With Wedge on the wing, you can fly Dash all over the board and just keep Wedge pointed at him to deal with any Phantoms, and he de-activates C-3PO on those **** Fat Hans and can really mess with a B-Wing's day. the Bandit can block, absorb fire, or just plink away unmolested, depending on how the opponent decides to split his fire, while Dash does his thing of pumping out a consistent 3-4 damage a turn with his focus/TL.

That's the way I've planned to run dash except with nein numb and using the points to give wedge R3A2, gives dash a little more movement options if something is getting in his bubble and wedge makes getting in the bubble Very unappealing

I'd sooner drop Engine Upgrade than Kyle. I find myself shedding stress a lot more often than I boost. Dropping Engine let's me put Stress Bot on Wedge and upgrade Bandit to a Tala and still have an initiative bid.
