Dash Chewie - please critique!

By Nikolishin, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Another Dash Chewie list: please come with your critique...

Chewbacca (YT-1300) (49 point)

- Outmaneuver

- Millennium Falcon (Title)

- C-3PO

Dash Rendar (YT-2400) (51 point)

- Push The Limit

- Outrider (Title)

- Heavy Laser Cannon

I just won an event where I had this same squad but predator where you have outmaneuver/PTL. I don't like giving myself stress and predator always works regardless of arcs/stress/actions.

Outmaneuver is wasted on Chewie really as it only works in the primary firing arc, which is not the turret. Predator is better or add Kyle Katarn to the Rendar list

My question is... What is you plan for the dohnut hole. If whisper, soontir or even corran get in the hole, Dash is as good as dead. Also have you tried running Dash without HLC?? I run Dash without the Outrider Combo and it works, especially with Dash and his ability.

The 'donut hole' is Chewie's job.

Making a list is, in my personal estimation, about 30% of winning. Whisper getting into the donut hole is a problem, no doubt. The key then is to have Chewie's role change in fights like that - to where he is always positioned first to block the enemy from getting to the donut hole and, whether or not that happens, to get solid 4-dice predator focus shot to make him pay for being there. That takes practice - these lists do not fly themselves and the enemy rarely cooperates.

I planning for a fun list, that also can cope in this springs Store Championship. (I'm also considering a Echo/Whisper & Decimator list.)

I may run this list with Predator instead of PTL and Outmaneuver.

So...

Chewbacca

- Predator

- Falcon

- C-3PO

Dash Rendar

- Predator

- Outrider

- HLC

I plan to run Chewie first, with Dash right after. Keep them close together and along the edge of the board.

I would strongly consider switching predator to push the limit for dash and maybe making the millennium falcon title to nein numb. Barrel roll on dash is just obscene but you can pump out more damage that way and nein keeps you unpredictable
