N'Dru and Dual IGs

By SpikeSpiegel, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I wanted something really simple:

N'Dru Suhlak (17)

Lone Wolf (2)

IG-88 B & C (36) x2

Veteran Instincts (1) x2

Ion Cannon (3) x2

Total: 99

N'Eru do what N'Dru do.

Gunner IG with Ions is insane.

Hard-Sloop IG in the membrane.

Veteran Instincts to blow up all the poser IGs.

I'm not sure that I do like it.

Keeping N'dru more than two range away from 2 large bases will be extremely challenging, so kind of a waste of points there I think...

Also, PS 8 doesn't help much. If the aggressor were better capable of arc-dodging I could see the benefit, but you don't have advanced sensors or IG88D to really take advantage of it with s-loops.

Also, the hard s-loop is D's ability, not C (mixed up maybe?)

Yeah the C/D was a mix up. I know Adv. Sensors is a staple on IGs, but I really like them as Ion Cannon platforms more than any other, mostly because of the gunner ability. Maybe we can change it to the C model (boost evade) instead of the B model to maximize that action economy, also dropping the Ions for Adv. Sensors? We can even change VI to calculation, but I like the VI for fighting other IGs.

The H-Sloop is pretty self explanatory.

As for N'Dru, I think in a list like Dual IGs, people will see him as a fly on the wall and ignore him, or open up their flanks to deal with him first while the IGs can come in and smack them from the side.

Ehhhh. People keep trying to make Suhlak work but it's just not happening. Here, you're also limiting the two 88s, and that could cause problems too. VI isn't tooooo necessary, especially with AdvS.

I dunno. But I got a bad feeling about this list. Give it a shot, see what happens

Best way is try a game or two and tweak as necessary.

I've tried a variety of different upgrade on them and so far advanced sensors or fire control systems is my go to
