YYY and my OCD

By ficklegreendice, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey guys,

so I have a very peculiar set of interests when it comes to list building and it's making it difficult to incorporate my Y-wings (2 most wanted models and 1 rebel model) into a functioning list

The Core of the list is:

Thug (Ion Turret, BTL-A4, Unhinged Aggromech)

Thug (Ion Turret, BTL-A4, Unhinged Aggromech)

Thug (Auto-blaster Turret) [yellow Y-wing :)]

This leaves me with 32 points

So, ladies and gents, what would you slot into those 32 points?

I've been wracking my brain, but I favor very particular kinds of squads which is a mini-swarm of generics backed by a high PS ace with at least a little maneuverability (Stress Luke + 2 Blues + Prototype, Stress Wes + biggs + 3 bandits, 2 bounty-hunters/ion-deltas + Soontir, Sigma + Sigma + Whisper, 4 bug-zapper Blacksuns + Xizor...)

I wanted to include Guri, but there's not enough room for meaningful upgrades :( (stupid Virago costing 1 point/Predator costing 3...) leaving me with Seirussu and that other guy to fill the higher PS, at least slightly maneuverable gap. Maybe I'll bump one of the ion thugs up to Drea?

Seirussu (Veteran, Stealth) [24]

Drea (Ion Turret, BTL-A4, Unhinged Aggromech) [28]

Thug (Ion Turret, BTL-A4, Unhinged Aggromech) [24]

Thug (Ion Turret, BTL-A4, Unhinged Aggromech) [24]

Kavil could take the place of your auto-blaster Thug. Maybe give him something like a Blaster Turret, VI, and R4 or PTL, Blaster Turret, and Unhinged Astromech. That should still leave you with enough points for N'dru, Serissu, or a Heavy Scyk with a Mangler. You could also take a Binayre Pirate and have some points left over to sprinkle additional points on your 3 Y-Wings.

Assuming the typical Kavil build:

Seirussu (Veteran Instincts) [21] or Cartel (heavy Scyk, Mangler) [20]

Kavil (Blaster Turret, R4 Aggro, Veteran Instincts) [31]

Thug (Ion Turret, BTL-A4, Unhinged Aggromech) [24]

Thug (Ion Turret, BTL-A4, Unhinged Aggromech) [24]

[Total: 100 or 99]

could certainly be worth a shot

Now, I'm not incrediby fond of the idea, but I could drop the Unhinged for

Guri: Predator or Virago, Fire Control, Inertial

Thug: Ion, title

Thug: Ion, title

Thug: Auto-blaster

[total: 99 or 100, respectively]

so many choices :blink:

I wanted to include Guri, but there's not enough room for meaningful upgrades :(

I'm sorry, what's wrong with Lone Wolf? A Focus and re-roll for offense, and a Focus and re-roll for defense. What's not to like!

Guri's going to be flying nice and close to the enemy for her ability

Y-wing turrets are limited to range 1-2

not a lot of room for the otherwise excellent LF :P
