Bomb vs Bomb. You fav bomb pilot & build

By bmwrider, in X-Wing Squad Lists

We want to play around with some builds that has both sides using bombs, this is mostly fir fun but also to prepare for the bomb fix.

I thought everyone might have fun throwung around ideas here.

Lets' see,

Emon+title+K4+2 x prox+1 x seismic+ID

1 x Synd Thug+bombLO+ICT+Genius+prox

1 x Synd Thug+bombLO+Unhinged+ICT+seismic

100 pts

Bombs away!!

Cheers!

Um proximity mines are an action to drop, kind of makes that genius salvamech defunct.

Well here is an explosive list with the correct use of "Genius" :P

Kavil: Bomb Loadout - Ion Cannon Turret - "Genius" - Engine Upgrade - Proton Bombs

Eamon Azzameen: Proximity Mines x3 - Andrasta - Dead Man's witch

Binayre Pirate: Dead Man's Switch

I love scum for being able to make bombs out of the ships themselves :D

With the engine upgraded Kavil does not have to blow himself up.

Hope this gives ye something to think about, like how to use it when wave VII comes.

Have fun

Similar to that one but... Emon has a mix of bombs, and ID, to throw them at a suitable moment. The Ys work well if you play in a low PS meta (most of my opponents use the PS2 pilots) so they can drop a SC at a useful moment, and the ABT is good for close in fights.

Emon Azzameen — Firespray-31 36
Seismic Charges 2
Recon Specialist 3
Inertial Dampeners 1
Proximity Mines 3
Proton Bombs 5
Andrasta 0

Hired Gun — Y-Wing 20
Autoblaster Turret 2
Bomb Loadout 0
Unhinged Astromech 1
Seismic Charges 2

Hired Gun — Y-Wing 20
Autoblaster Turret 2
Bomb Loadout 0
Unhinged Astromech 1
Seismic Charges 2

I considered a proton on Emon,...hmm, its a killer if you can lay that puppy down....best against a large amount of ships if possible...but then again, a prox in Soontirs' windshield is fun...the more the merrier!! LOL!

Cheers lads!

Emon+andrasta+proton bombs+prox mines*2+ stealth device+ion cannon+ intel agent

Kavil+ VI + Ion Cannon Turret+ Bomb loadout + Stealth Device+ proton bomb + ion torps

The ion torps could go but I have not figured out what to replace them with.

Considering using this for my next casual game:

Miranda Doni (55 pts):

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Ion Torpedoes (5)

Proton Bombs (5)

Conner Net (4)

Extra Munitions (2)

Sabine Wren (2)

Advanced SLAM (2)

Esege Tuketu (45 pts):

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Conner Net (4)

Thermal Detonators (3)

Extra Munitions (2)

Bombardier (1)

Advanced SLAM (2)

Sabine's ability will work for both bombers, giving any one bomb per turn that crucial +1 damage. The ion turret cannon and ion torpedoes are there for control to allow optimal bomb placement. Esege's ability should hopefully Miranda to hit early on with an ion torpedo. Hopefully SLAM actions will allow both K-wings to survive long enough to use most of their munitions...

Punisher with Advanced Sensors + Conner Net

16 pt TIE Bomber with Seismic Charges

"Deathrain" with Enhanced Scopes, Connor Net, Protons / Thermals / Seismics, EM (add Homing Missiles + Enhanced Scopes if I have the points).

Deathrain/Conner/Conner/EM/Exp Int/Baffles.

K-turn/boost/bomb. Yeah.

I saw a guy, playing almost the same list (unfortunately, don't remember exact loadout of each ship) in Vassal on Twitch, looks pretty fun.

Rebel Operative (16)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Sabine Wren (2)
Ion Bombs (2)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Bomb Loadout (0)
Extra Munitions (2)
R2 Astromech (1)
Conner Net (4)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Bomb Loadout (0)
Extra Munitions (2)
Proton Bombs (5)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Bomb Loadout (0)
Extra Munitions (2)
Ion Bombs (2)

Total: 100

Has to be emon

When I can actually get wave 9 I will be using this

Twin firesprays (100)

Kath Scarlet (49) - Firespray-31

Fearlessness (1), Proton Bombs (5), Tail Gunner (2), Rigged Cargo Chute (1), Slave I (0), Extra Munitions (2)

Emon Azzameen (51) - Firespray-31

Proximity Mines (3), Bombardier (1), Dead Man's Switch (2), Andrasta (0), Proton Bombs (5), Conner Net (4)

Emon can throw bombs anywhere, and is a bomb himself, kath can also threaten with bombs and add another obstacle with the rigged cargo chute to further limit movement options and has the chance to throw out a 6 dice rear shot that reduces agility by 1, or a 5 dice front primary - unlikely to get off much but fun when it happens

EMon's going to adore Burnout SLAM when it drops. Burnout SLAM plus ASLAM giving him 3 points to do 3-straight 3-turn 3-turn-bomb. Amazing.

But probably too expensive :(

I ran a casual turnament in which I flew the following:

Azzameen Bomb boys

Amon Azzameen (36) = 46

Andrasta (0), Prox. mines (3), Seismic Charges (2), Ion Bombs (2), Rec. Sepc. (3)

Syndicate Thug (16) = 24

Prox. Mines (3), Autoblaster Turret (2), Unhinged Astromech (1), Bomb Loadout (0)

2 x Black Sun Soldiers (13) = 30

Feedback Array (2)

Lots of Fun, but NOT a top tier list, although I finished 4th in a 16 people store championship :-) .

It surprises a lot of people, who are not used to bombs, Feedbacks are for anoying Aces. Maybe I need to look at Black market Slicers and revive this list :-)

Cheers

I run this strictly for giggles.

Firespray-31: · Emon Azzameen (36)

Seismic Charges (2)

Intelligence Agent (1)

· Andrasta (0)

Proximity Mines (3)

Seismic Charges (2)

G-1A Starfighter: · 4-LOM (27)

Advanced Sensors (3)

· Zuckuss (1)

· Mist Hunter (0)

Tractor Beam (1)

Z-95 Headhunter: Binayre Pirate (12)

Z-95 Headhunter: Binayre Pirate (12)

-- TOTAL ------- 100/100p. --

I had a lot of fun with Kavil, VI, Bomb Loadout, Proton Bomb and FIVE Binarye Pirates each with the criminally underused Dead Man's Switch.

Your MoV will be terrible, but when that proton Bomb slips a direct hit on a few of your Zs and everything blows up...

Hmm. I think the TIE bomber deserves the title:

4 x Scimitar Squadron Pilots (16)

Cluster Mines (4)

Plasma Torpedoes (3)

Extra Munitions (2)

Long Range Scanners (0)

Total: 100 points.

4 cluster mines a turn is truly awe inspiring - that's 24 tokens all up, or 48 dice. The plasma torpedoes give them some actual pop in a dogfight. You could swap clusers for connor, or Clusters for proximity and upgrade the plasmas to protons. If only I had 8 cluster mine sets, this would be my go-to bomber list.

I've been having lots of fun with this list:

Miranda w/ TLT, C3P0, EM, HomingM, ProtonB, Connor, AdvSLAM.

Warden w/ TLT, Sabine, EM, Connor, , Prox, Seismic, AdvSLAM.

It's got a pretty high skill requirement though, so it's only best if you're very confident in your ability to control the initial engagement.
