Mercin' Aint Easy (S&V - N'dru + Merc x2)

By stmack, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Ahh really tempted to pick up a second Firespray now. A local guy is selling the Firespray stuff from his third Most Wanted pack, would let me run this:

Mandelorian Mercenary [Recon Specialist, Calculation] (39) x 2

N’Dru Suhlak [Cluster Missiles, Veteran Instincts] (22)

Which I think would be pretty deadly, strip the shields with Cluster, then start laying down some crits. Some extra points for ugprades on N'Dru would be nice but no room :(

Not bad. I've had a similar list in mind, but I need another Firespray and another Most Wanted first.

2x MandoMerc (35)

+ Predator (3)

+ Outlaw Tech (2)

N'Dru (17)

+ Lone Wolf (2)

+ Inertial Dampeners (1) [optional]

MandMercs can pull K-turns as needed without fear because they'll still get Focus (Outlaw Techs) and Predator. And with any other move when not stressed, take a Focus actoin for the same result. Very consistent. You can't fit Clusters on N'Dru, though, which is sad.

I think the list I'd run first involving double firesprays would just be Torkil with Ion Cannon Turret and 2 Mandos with predator. Torkil drops the target to PS 0, giving the mandos 2 rerolls against it

Lots of good Dual Merc + 1 ship lists I think. The EPT finally gives me the ship I've always wanted, and the only thing that Firesprays needed, which is access to rerolls.

Personally I'm building Fett + Kath + Z95 lists, because I like both abilities so much is hate to play without them!

Tried it last night, was against Jax which hurt because the ability negated 8 points of upgrades but more visible was the lack of maneuverability of the Firesprays. Might go back to the drawing board with this one.
