Imperial 23 Hull 13 Shields

By Soss, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I came up with this list and only had one chance to try it out, and it did very well.

Captain Oicunn

-H12

-S4

Omicron Group Pilot

-H5

-S5

*Darth Vader

Bounty Hunter

-H6

-S4

The total is 99. Not sure on what to add for the extra point.

The idea is the Decimator can control the middle and ram anything it can. The Bounty Hunter is more of a Flanker or may stay in your opponents deployment zone. The Shuttle is going to stay put and try to shoot things that get close. With not a lot of extras added on them I am not too worried about crits and as long as I focus fire I should outlast most lists. 36 hits woudl be need to take out these ships and in return I can get at least 9 shots out a turn. Plus Vader to finish someone off. The only worry I have is the shuttle's movement, it has a chance to be out of the fight for a bit if your opponent gets behind it.

Take a look and tell me what you think.

That list looks hilarious! I would spent the last point adding Determination to Oicunn, to prevent stuff like Injured Pilot from happening.

I will post this here because I feel that it's relevant to the topic in terms of the ships used:

I was in a small tournamnet the other week and these were the results and builds:

  1. Patrol Leader + Shuttle + Firespray (RC on Patrol, Vader on Shuttle)
  2. Ibtisam + Jake Farrell + Corran
  3. Leebo + Chewie (Determination Leebo + C3P0 Chewie)
  4. Chiraneau + Whisper (VI build)
  5. Chiraneau + Whisper (Expose + EI build)
  6. Han + Wild Space Fringer (HSF + Outrider HLC)

The Lambda, Decimator, Firespray build won all 4 of its games VS 2, 3, 4, 5

So I came up with this list and only had one chance to try it out, and it did very well.

For the last point I'd add tactical jammer on something. It might not help every game but there's really nothing else worthwhile to put in the list.

I flew that exact list plus determination on Oicunn in a tournament. It is a powerful list and can take a beating. The only thing I really got beat by was double phantoms, just couldn't get enough shots. It is really fun and very consistent though.

Forgot about determination that's a good choice too

I was thinking about Determination, I will give it a try next time.

I think 2 Phantoms or similar fast ships would be the bane to this list. It makes me think that maybe having a Rebel Captive on the Decimator might be a good choice versus having Vader on the Shuttle. Although it makes for some comic relief when the Shuttle is being slow and can't engage in the battle by spending 4 turns turning around. I just imagine how pissed Vader is and why the Shuttle takes damage when you use his card.

I think its a pretty solid list in the two ship meta we have now.

36 hitpoints will be hard for 2 ships no matter what they are to chew through. My only concern would being able to put enough damage into a Fat Han to destroy one before time hits.

If your looking for alot of hp to be placed dowe I have used this a few times and it's pretty fun 46 hp+sh in total
