Rebel throwback list with a wave 5 twist

By catachanninja, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Starting to really like this list but looking for feedback to improve it.

Chewbacca 42

Draw thier fire 1

Tactical jammer 1

Biggs Darklighter 25

Wedge Antilles 29

R3a2 2

I've really enjoyed the challenge of flying the list but I think particularly the 3 points of r3a2 and draw thier fire can be better spent. The thought has also occured to me to make Chewbacca into leebo for the additional points. The list will be in a tourney next week, but I was also going to run it post wave six. I'd love some feedback

Edited the tactical hammer typo

Tactical HAMMER for the win!!!

Tactical hammer: turn all blank results to crits

Lol thanks for calling me out on the typo, although that's clearly a better list name

I like it in essence, and I really dig what you're going for with the Tactical Hammer, but I think I would approach it differently.

I think Chewy is too squishy once Biggs is gone, so I recommend putting MF title on him. I've also put Mercenary Copilot on as an after thought, but you could swap it for anything else you might prefer

I've moved R3A2 on to Biggs so we don't lose the stress by dropping Wedge

Roark is there for PS12, either Biggs to stress uncloaked Phantoms, or Chewy to shoot at uncloaked Phantoms. Jan lets Biggs exchange his focus for an evade, which I think is better, even with Tactical Hammer. Ion Turret for control, though you could take a Blaster Turrent if you wanted more punch.

So the set up is Biggs behind Chewy, and Roark close by. If they get into R3 of Chewy so Biggs is out of range, he can peg them with crits. If they get closer, they have to fire at Biggs at R3, and obstructed, with an evade. If they get even closer, Roark can Ion them and Chewy is throwing 4 dice.

That's the theory anyway.

Chewbacca (42)
Draw Their Fire (1)
Mercenary Copilot (2)
Tactical Jammer (1)
Millennium Falcon (1)
Biggs Darklighter (25)
R3-A2 (2)
Roark Garnet (19)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
Jan Ors (2)
Total: 100

I like the concept but I think it'd be too lacking in firepower, only reason I feel comfortable with only 9 red is that 3 of them are on wedge. Too much tactical not enough hammer ;) Really good call with Jan Ors on Roark though.
