KathY

By SgtRauksauff, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, first post around here, but I've been lurking a bit here and there.

Since my FLGS (and anyone else for that matter) got restocked on Y-wings the week before the Wretched Hive let out, I put together this list after i got the Most Wanted set. I've only had a chace to play it once, and I won pretty handily:

KathY

thrown-together build to test scum.


100 points


PILOTS

Syndicate Thug (21) x 2
Y-Wing (18), Autoblaster Turret (2), Unhinged Astromech (1), BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Binayre Pirate (12)

Kath Scarlet (46)
Firespray-31 (38), Seismic Charges (2), Andrasta (0), Proximity Mines (3), Proximity Mines (3)

I enjoy playing the Firespray, usually with Krassis, and I really liked Kath's extra die from the rear arc. Also, this was the first time I ever used bombs (and the first time my opponent played against them as well.)

I played aganst two Star Vipers, an M3-A, and N'dru with Lone Wolf/Stealth Device. I don't remember the rest of the loadout.

I think that the Unhinged Astromech on the Y's almost completely makes up for having the turret confined to the primary arc. I was really worried about the maneuverability of the Y's, having never played them before, but I was pleasantly suprised, no doubt because of the green 3's from the droid.

I threw in the Z95 just to fill points, and it was the only ship that got destroyed. I almost want to play around with cutting the Z and putting Bomb Loadout on the Y's. It was hard work to make the Y's keep the enemies they were targeting in range (a 3 koiogran would be amazing). A 4k, with a 3 to follow up to bring back into range:1 worked out a couple times pretty well, and slow turns with Kath's butt shooting 5 die on occasion worked out phenomenally.

It was a very fun game, and I felt it was a bit of hard work to win. My friend thinks that I just stomped him easily. It was mostly just luck that I picked the right targets to shoot at, and the prox mines being dropped right over a ship base both times. He rolled blanks the first time, but the second time was perfectly destructive.

Now, I want to play some Y's with Unhinged Astromechs, Bomb Loadouts, and Engine Upgrades. wheeeeee!!!!

Y-Wing with Engine Upgrades is my next idea. I lost very badly last time with Scum-Y-Wings...

I haven't lost with this one yet..

Kath + VI + K4

Kavil + VI + Ion + Unhinged + EU

Syndicate Thug ( ST ) + Ion + BTL

Plug middle with ST, and make sure to turn him sideways the turn you plan on attacking as a sort of surprise.

Send Kath directly behind Syndicate thug and Kavil around flank to attack on ships out of her firing arc.. focus fire on strongest small ship first with ions, focus kath on whoever your lock is on..
