Which list should I run for Store Champs?

By Nikolishin, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I can not quite decide on which list I should run for Store Championship - I'm undecided on a couple of lists - There are none of the lists that are 100% fixed - critique and suggestions for improvement are welcome...

List A (100 point) :

Chewbacca (YT-1300) (49 point)

  • Predator
  • Milliennium Falcon (Title)
  • C-3PO

Dash Rendar (YT-2400) (51 point)

  • Predator
  • Outrider (Title)
  • Heavy Laser Cannon

List B (100 point) :

Primarily going for a unorthodox list - should control Rebel small ship lists and swarm lists well?

Oicunn (Decimator) (66 point)

  • Ruthlessness
  • Ysanne Isard
  • Mara Jade
  • Gunner
  • Ion Torpedoes
  • Dauntless (Title)
  • Anti Pursuit Laser

Yorr (Lambda Shuttle) (34 point)

  • Fire-Control System
  • Ion Cannon
  • Darth Vader
  • Anti Pursuit Laser

List C (100 point):

Kenkirk (Decimator) (58 point)

  • Lone Wolf
  • Ysanne Isard
  • Mara Jade
  • Gunner

Whisper (Phantom) (42 point)

  • Fire-Control System
  • Veteran Instincts
  • Rebel Captive
  • ACD

I like lists A & C. Interesting choice for list C. Usually we see Gunner on Whisper, and Rebel Captive on the Decimator. As for list A, I'd be curious to try it as is. I would be more inclined to go for Chewie + Leebo though, to get more options on both. Plus, they're both made to last longer, and that a big plus in a tournament setting. Here's what I've used before:

Chewbacca (Predator, C-3PO, Gunner, Millenium Falcon) 54 points

Leebo (Determination, HLC, Recon Specialist) 45 points

So, 99 points and no Outrider title. You then still have range 1 shots (3 dice at 360, so not bad). Opponents usually target Leebo first, probably because of the HLC. But Chewie is the main threat here.

I also used the following to great effect:

Chewbacca (Predator, C-3PO, Recon Specialist, Millenium Falcon) 52 points

Leebo (Determination, HLC, Lando, Experimental Interface) 48 points

The MF title became obsolete though, as I would Focus every turn. So maybe drop it and go for 99 points, or choose another Elite Pilot Talent for Leebo, but Determination can be very strong with him of course.

I ran something similar to List B at a tournament recently and out of 4 games I lost 3 completely and the 4th was a modified win against me. I don't think I'd ever run it again - lol. Everyone got behind or beside the lambda so it was just taking hits and dealing nothing back. Surprisingly the modified was against the Paul Heaver Fat Han build from the 2014 worlds. I got rid of the tala's and in the last couple of rounds he got rid of my lambda which was 44 points to the 39 points the tala's were worth. Han was half way down.

I would put Determination on Kenkirk to help him last longer. One of the builds with Echo/Kenkirk at the tournament ended up getting an injured pilot crit and as a result, this build barely beat a swarm with space cow. Came down to the last few minutes of time.

I like putting Moff Jerjerrod and Intelligence Agent on Kenkirk or any Decimator along with Determination which negates all the pilot crits and at least 2 other crits(with disposing IA and the MJ) since you are just taking hits anyway and crits can be devastating to it.

I am considering this list:

Oicunn

- Lone Wolf

- Rebel Captive

- Ysanne Isard

- Gunner

Whisper

- VI

- FCS

- ACD

- Gunner

To much offence? To little defence?
