Xizor, Boba + Thug

By arolig, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Syndicate thug + Autoblaster turret, 20

Boba fett + veteran instincts, engine upgrade, Inertial Dampeners, 45
Prince Xizor + veteran instincts, Autothrusters, 34




So I really wanna try out my new scum ships a bit more. What is your take on this list? Have you played something similar?
On long term I would like to run something like this to a store championship, Boba can be really nasty.

The tactic is to deploy late, Xizor teams up with the thug or completely avoids deploying with him, depending on what I face. So the deployment of the Thug can work as a decoy.
But most games Xizor and thug start on one edge of the board, and Boba deploys so that he can get into the heart of the enemy position.

I did something similar with the scum z95 ace with lone wolf instead of a y and Palob with opportunist in a casual game. Palob was the star of the show

I ran a Boba Fett + Syndicate Thugx2 list for Regionals in my area. The Thugs didn't perform as well as I'd hoped, but the Boba Fett performed very admirably.

He was built with Lone Wolf, EU, Inertial Dampener, and Recon Specialist for a total of 49 points. The idea is that Boba gets his re-rolls by either being far away from the action (Lone Wolf), close up to the action (Boba ability) or by being the last man standing then getting Lone Wolf (Ys are too good and too easy to pop not to target first).

If I had to do it again, I might change up the Ys and replace them with a 37pt Xizor + 13pt Black Sun, or possibly 1 Y and a pair of Z-95s, or maybe a decked out Palob + a Z-95. Either way, I wouldn't touch the Boba. He worked great. The extra focus tokens and multiple methods of getting re-rolls on his green dice really helped him to last and last.

Edit: I do NOT advise PTL + K4 Security Droid. Even though those cards have great synergy and do a lot of work when put together, you REALLY hamstring yourself in a Firespray by being limited to your green maneuvers. You really want access to your white hard turns. Predator or Lone Wolf + Recon Spec is plenty of action economy and your dial stays open. It may seem like Lone Wolf and Predator overlap with Boba's ability, but the truth is that they reinforce each other.

Ohh that is a Boba I would love to play! :)
What about?

Boba + Lone Wolf, EU, Inertial Dampener, Recon Specialist, 49p
Kavil + Blaster turret, R4 astromech, 30p
N'dru Suhlak + cluster missiles, 21p

100 pts


I know N'dru seems pretty weird upgraded, but that madness is 8 red dice(2 shots that one round), I dunno if it's really worth it. I know Lone Wolf is an option OFC.
The tactic would be something like, Kavil in the middle, and the other two both taking a flank, goaing fast, while Kavil moves slow.

Maybe a Spice runner with Ion is a better choice than N'dru?

I used Boba during local regionals (top8/20 players).

VI and EU works great on him.

I wouldn't advice K4, becouse Boba have to fly close to enemy to use his skill and he cannot be restricted by greens.

Also, I wouldn't recomend Recon spec., becouse when flying close, You bump a lot. Sometimes You'll even bump willingly to avoid enemy fire.

I consider trying Navigator, to possibly avoid blockers (and reposition with PS10).

Inertial Damper is also cool, if You'll not forget to use it..

I also used Autoblaster to handle Interceptors/Brobots/Vipers, but somehow I met someone from this list only once, so I don't have verified opinion.

PTL, K4 and EU is a set for Kath.

I personally like Emon and his bombs better then Boba ... but he ends up costing lots

Yea, a list I've been running that's a lot of fun is

Boba - VI, Gunner, Engine Upgrade

Palob - Moldy, Recon crew, blaster turret, wingman

Kaatos Leeatch - opportunist

The opportunist and wingman is interchangeable on the Z95 and HWK.

But the combo of focus token stash and stealing/borrowing btw Palob and Kaatos is great,

then triggering opportunist is icing on the cake. I usually fly them formation while Boba is blasting ahead doing his Boba thing

Syndicate thug + Autoblaster turret, 20

Boba fett + veteran instincts, engine upgrade, Inertial Dampeners, 45

Prince Xizor + veteran instincts, Autothrusters, 34

I ran this today vs a friend, he got to borrow the Corran/Dash. He might have failed a tad on tactics, but not mutch, and this build knocked that out the park. The thug really becomes an issue no matter what you fire at.

Next up I let my friend borrow the list vs me trying a Janson/Wedge/Hobbie-striptoken+opportunist list, and they won no questions asked.
