Trying to decide on a squad for this weekend

By Derbes, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm having a hard time deciding on a squad for this weekend's store championship. Our current meta seems to be 2 ship builds like VT-49 and Phantom, Dash/Chewie, or Leebo/Chewie. Any help would be appreciated. Here are the lists.

This is what I flew at worlds, there are changes I could make, like Lone Wolf instead of VI. Or just go with Paul's worlds build.

Han Shoots First, Z-95s Version

99 points

  • Han Solo (60) YT-1300 (46), Veteran Instincts (1), C-3PO (3), Gunner (5), Millennium Falcon (1), Engine Upgrade (4)
  • Tala Squadron Pilot (13) x 3

I have not tried this build, but it's seems like it would be ok. I could drop Chewie and and add engine and 3 Talas here, too.

A Dash Of Chewie

100 points

  • Chewbacca (46) YT-1300 (42), Predator (3), Millennium Falcon (1)
  • Dash Rendar (54) YT-2400 Freighter (36), Predator (3), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Recon Specialist (3), Outrider (5)

This one I tried this past weekend and went 2-2. I had some really close matches.

Han & Wild Space Fringer

100 points

  • Han Solo (61) YT-1300 (46), Lone Wolf (2), C-3PO (3), Gunner (5), Millennium Falcon (1), Engine Upgrade (4)
  • Wild Space Fringer (39) YT-2400 Freighter (30), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Dash Rendar (2)

Thank you for your suggestions.

Not sure if this would interest you but it is something I think would be pretty neat.

Chewie, jan ors, tactical jammer 45 pts

Biggs, Stealth Device, R2-F2 31 pts

kyle katarn, moldy crow 24pts

Formation flying with kyle feeding biggs focus which gets turned into evade via jan ors. Biggs base 2 green dice, gets 1 more off stealth, 1 more off r2-f2, and regularly 1 more off the tactical jammer for 5 green dice + an evade. Chewie spends much of the match providing cover for biggs while kyle simply tries to stay up close to biggs.

Ideally you get the enemy splitting fire between chewie and biggs with the end result being that neither die.

Not sure if this would work and I'm really new to the game, but I think this would be a fun list to play primarily to see how opponents work so hard to put a dent into your list while you peck at them with the turret

Really, no really hard to keep the HWK close to anything without slow rolling the entire match. In which case, they'll just keepaway until they can unload on it.

bodha,

Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like a list to try in a fun game before jumping into a Store Championship with it.

I was thinking of something similar but then I tweaked it to this.

Dagger Squadron Pilot (24)
Advanced Sensors (3)

Dagger Squadron Pilot (24)
Advanced Sensors (3)

Chewbacca (42)
Predator (3)
Millennium Falcon (1)

Total: 100

On a dash of chewie I would trade out Predator for PTL gives him some mobility to ensure that 2-3 range as best as he can and still get the dual focus, or go crazy and take off recon and put on Kyle too.
