Rebel 40pt small base ship - thoughts?

By JamieSpace, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi,

So later today I'm going to a little event to celebrate Star Wars day!

The premise is that two people are taking control of the imperial ships with constant reinforcements.

Everyone else gets a single 40pt small base ship (no characters allowed) with the aim to get the most points before you die in a fiery ball!

I was thinking of using a generic E-Wing to be a bit different plus I really enjoy using it.

Here's my thoughts;,

Blackmoon Squad - E wing - 29

Fire control system - 2

R7 Astro -2

Stealth Device -3

Proton Torps -4

Let me know what you think or what you have used that would be better on the E

May the force be with you!

I'd go with R2d2, adv.sensors and engine upgrade

Don't think I can have R2D2 - no unique indicated cards (the dot next to the name)

Was thinking engine and Adv Sensors but wasn't sure how useful on a low ps genetic E

Maybe...Blkmoon + R7 + eng + flec torp + adv sens...40 pts

R2D2 comes in the starter box...

So I went with my orig list.

It did pretty well, surviving till the end. FCS & R7 did its job a few times and Stealth device more than paid for its points.

The main issue I had was killing anything. With a low PS value of 3, most other generics shot before me so either destroyed my target or cleaned up anything I had damaged from the round before.

Was a great game tho, 16 Rebel/Scum single ship players vs continuous waves of imps ships, sometimes getting bigger/deadlier ships .

The stars seemed to be the Bwing and M3-A with HLC They destroyed most things in their path!!!
