40 points to spend for the Rebels! Recommendations or favorite ships?

By Tsiegtiez, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey all, apropos of nothing, what is your favorite way to spend 40 points in a Rebel list? I've got a list in mind that has that nice big chunk open, but I don't want to detail the other 60 just yet. I've so far tried out

Corran Horn (35)

— Lone Wolf (2)

— Accuracy Corrector (3)

And I'm thinking of replacing him with

Wild Space Fringes (30)

— Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

— Recon Specialist (3)

Thoughts and input welcome!

You could upgrade corran first

Poor guy looks anemic without FCS and r2d2

Or, even better, sensors :D

I like it. I'd need something to strip tokens but I can make that work.

Hahaha nice. Yeah I was trying to find the cheapest Corran loadout that would still have consistent attack efficacy.

What about 2 Green Squadron A-Wings with PTL and Refit?

I've had great luck with:

Green Squadron Pilot 19 x2

-Chardaan Refit -2

-Predator 3

They only have 2 dice but with a focus and Predator those 2 dice almost always come up hits. Against lower PS ships even the worst rolls can now both be rerolled. For 20 points per ship, they can fill that awkward void in any list.

All great ideas, thanks guys. I usually just sub in a few small ships, most often three Headhunters, but I will definitely tinker with some of these suggestions!
