Billy Idol Tournament List

By Baaa, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi all,

Back with yet another list; this one, however, is one that I'm looking to take to a tournament. So any comments, criticisms and suggestions will be gratefully received.

YT-2400 - (46pts)

Leebo. Determination, Mangler Cannon, Outrider Title, Dash Rendar.

HWK-290 - (30pts)

Kyle Katarn. Ion Cannon, Moldy Crow Title, Nien Nunb.

Z-95 Headhunter - (24pts)

Bandit Sqn Pilot.

Bandit Sqn Pilot.

I'm still thinking about how best to fly them, so any suggestions on that front as well would be great.

Cheers

Baaa

That is an excellent name for a tournament list.. ;)

Thank you,

If there was a search function on the forums I wouldn't have used it :lol:

Any comments on the list rather than the plagiarised name?

Cheers

Edit: Apparently there is a search function, I found it :D didn't work though :(

Can you maybe tell me why you are playing Dash Rendar Crew? The only real benefit he affords you is not allowing an extra defense dice to the defender when you are shooting through an asteroid. His other ability is great and all but do you really expect to be shooting while sitting on an asteroid? Usually only once every 2-3 games I would expect to land on an asteroid while flying the 2400.

Initially I assumed that the Dash render Crew allowed you to ignore obstacles during the activation phase like the pilot version does but that is sadly not the case, so if you park you can't BR off.

For 2 points Han solo crew is actually quite powerful, and Jan Ors crew can offer you some solid resistance under heavy fire.

I don't know man, I'd just throw the whole thing out

But don't worry. It's a nice day to start again.

I don't actually know what the list is trying to do, so I'll just my little joke here and go...

Thanks for the comment.

Dash is in there because I want to use the asteroids as cover. I'll try to move in or around them with the YT as much as I can. That way I can shoot through them without giving my opponent an extra defence die, while gaining one if they choose to shoot back at me through the asteroids.

Z-95's and the B-Wing will fly in formation, with the Headhunters acting as blockers.

While the B-Wing on its own isn't a big enough threat, with the Z-95's in front, it will (hopefully) force my opposition to make the choice between going after and concentrating on this little sqn or the YT.

That's the basic plan anyway.

I've got ideas, ideas everywhere and not a thought to think.
