Starting List - Advice Needed

By Koron, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi guys.

Went down to my local hobby store along with a mate to prepare 100 point lists for a casual "tournament" coming up. They let us test out some models before we bought (Me rebel and him Imp) and I settled on 2 B-Wings and 2 Z-95 Headhunters. Along with a core-set I bought previously I made this list -

Biggs w/R2-D2

Blue Squadron w/FCS

Blue Squadron

Tala Squadron

Bandit Squadron

Total - 100

He went for Vader w/Cluster Missiles, Shield Upgrade, Swarm Tactics, Turr Phenir and 3 Academy Pilots. I took him down to one Academy Pilot and took damage of 3 shields off of one B-Wing, 1 off the and Biggs was down to 1 hull before he conceded. He's since swapped Turr for 2 Academy Pilots.

Wondering if I should edit my list, bearing in mind I have money to buy a couple more ships if needed.

Thanks in advance :)

I have enough for pretty much any combination of ships (within reason) so you can go crazy on that front. Preferably if you could think of a way to use my current models to win I would be very grateful :)

We are allowing proxy for the upgrade cards as well so you can presume that I have all of them.

Again thanks :)

P.S Couldn't work out how to edit on iPad hence why I replied instead.

Well 4 blue squadron blues and a z95 is a popular list. No upgrades either so you would need to proxy any cards and you only need to buy 2 more b's

Thanks, I'll give it a go :)

What do you think of my current list though? Is it decent enough to run in a group of beginners?

yeah, your current list is strong vs beginners. If you wanted to tweak it, this might be more efficient:

Biggs w/ hull upgrade = 28

2 blue squadron b-wings w/ FCS = 24 x 2

2 bandit squadron z-95's = 12 x 2

100 pts.

Thanks! I've been having trouble against one guy's Marak Stele, Dark Curse and Obsidian Pilot TIE Swarm so hopefully the dual FCS will help. :D
