My mate said it was a bit of a Jigsaw making everything work together, hence the name.

Roark...........Moldy Crow / Ion Cannon / Nien Numb

Protype A Wing....... Chardaan refit

Biggs

Wedge...... Swarm Tactics

I've been playing about 8 weeks and I took it to a Store Champs 2 weeks ago.

Won 3 and lost 2, both loses was to YT2400 lists ( one was 2 x YT with HLC and an A Wing and the other was Dash and Leebo. )

The list is 99pts would welcome any comments.

Dont really need moldy crow with roark and an ICT. so with four points to spare could give some damage mitigation to biggs. or spread a couple flachettes around...

Tell us more about how the list performed, how did you set up and approach combat? What were you surprised by? What did you play against? It's an interesting idea, why did you include moldy crow? Did that choice work out in your favor?

The A wing mainly ran solo, running interference to block big ships.

Roark stayed close to either Biggs, Wedge or both depending on hat i played against. Roark passes on PS 12 to either Biggs or Wedge ( quite often Biggs and then the A wing when Biggs dies ). Wedge swarms his PS 9 to Roark ( nice when a phantom is behind him )

Had played around 6 games before I went to the Store Champs and finally put the list together on the morning of the event after having some of it in my head most of the week before

Game 1 played......... Green A wing + 2 x Fringers with HLc and Recon Spec............. struggled very badly against this, managed to get one down to a wound and the other down to 4 wounds before I got whitewashed.

Game 2.... Whisper / Oiccun.......... This went really well i had a better idea of the list worked in practice. Roark with PS 9 Ioned the Phantom which allowed everything to flip around and unload onto it next turn blowing it off the table. I lost Biggs but the Decimator was fairly easy to kill after that>

Game 3........ " 2 x Rookie and 2 x Blue B wings with HLC. Roark took it in turns to target lock and then Ion the B's while the other's took care of the Rookie's, Roark continued to keep one B wing busy while the other got ganged up on. Evetually i lost Biggs again.

Game 4......... Cracken / PTL / Concussion Missiles plus 4 x Tala's with Concussion Missiles. I ran into the asteroid field to stretch the swarm out a bit. Managed to catch the lead ones away from the swarm and killed them thanks to high PS before they got a shot off. He had to unload all the missiles in to Biggs to kill him and next turn Wedge went for a K turn and the HWK did a 4 forward ( green move with Nien Numb. taking Cracken by surprise after that it took 3 turns to mop the rest up.

Game 4........ Dash and Leebo........... basically rinse an repeat of game one only quicker.

Thoughts afterwards.............. Moldy Crow was kinda of useful to gather a few focus together for both attack and defense but I'm considering swapping it for this weekend's event. I'd probably put R3A2 on Wedge if I had the card.

Biggs died as he is suppose to do to allow the others to do their job. I sometime did a 4 forward with the HWK to either get out of trouble or get the jump on my opponent. Most of the time though i did 2 left or right a flew around in a kindd of squar to stay in range.

if you dont have EU on roark then stick with Nien for the very reason you stated. you need to be able to get out of trouble fast. i also like that you didnt put anything on biggs. i dont philosophically agree with putting add-ons to a ship designed to die.

a build that ive tested and will be taking to tourney this weekend has a similar philosophy

roark+ICT+nien

grey y wing-EPTbot+swarm+ICT

rookie + r3a2

blue+FCS

my meta has deci+phantom

or fat han and littles

or fat leebo+chewy

this list has never won big but has never lost in 7 tries. i alsways end up with one ship left BUT i always end up with one ship left.

this list absolutely slices through a phantom build like a hot knife through butter: roark passes 12PS to Grey who passes it to Rookie. Rookie stresses phantom and greay ions it. next round dead phantom.

the other bigs i play the paiteint game pew pewing with ict and walking them around the board

ive been able to roll pretty well against two ship builds. have yet to meet a swarm which is what i am dreading with this list
