5 ship rebel build

By coolfishboy, in X-Wing Squad Lists

99 points Pilots ------

Dagger Squadron Pilot (24) x 2

Biggs Darklighter (25)

Tala Squadron Pilot (13) x 2

So basically, enough power to take down large ships, and still have a low enough ps to block large ships, soontirs etc

and shoots before more traditional rebel swarms

Thoughts?

:)

I'd drop those Tala's down to Bandits and put something like R2-F2 on Biggs. If you want low PS blockers, go all the way with that, and there's no reason to leave a point on the board when you're not going for the initiation bid.

I'd change Dagger x2 with Blue+FCS x2, one Tala with Bandit and the other, with the 2 points remaining, Prototype+Chardaan.

dagger --> blue + FCS

tala --> bandits

Biggs --> Biggs + r4-d6

For an alternative, you could also drop the Talas to Bandits and the Daggers to Blues with Ion Cannons to add a bit of control to the list. Keep Biggs the same for a 99 point initiative bid, or maybe stick R5 on him for a tiny bit of crit resistance.
