Rockhopper Squadron (HBBA)

By Pandademic, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've been wanting to find a good use for the Dash crew card since it came out. Now that Twin Laser Turret has been spoiled, I think I've got a pretty good candidate:

Roark Garnet (19)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Dash Rendar (2)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Fire-Control System (2)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Fire-Control System (2)

Gemmer Sojan (22)
Chardaan Refit (-2)
Predator (3)
Autothrusters (2)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

Total: 100

Roark hovers around the edges of the melee, jumping behind obstacles whenever possible, while Gemmer and the B's do their knife-fighting. In the best-case scenario, Roark is tossing two 3-dice attacks with no defense bonuses, while shielded from return fire by 4 defense dice.

I've got a few different variations of the list for Roark's wingmates, but this one seemed best. Any thoughts?

Looks alright, although I think a green with push or pred and proton rockets would be more useful than gemmer.

I agree. Green Squadron with Procket and PTL > Gemmer w/ Predator. I feel like Gemmer and Arvel are a point too expensive. Gemmer can be silly hard to kill though.

I like the squad though. The TLT really gives Dash crew a reason to exist.

I admit I haven't had much success with Gemmer in the past, but I keep putting him in lists anyway. My thinking here was that I want the full A-wing dial, including the 1-turn, for close-range maneuvers. Prockets would give it a lot more teeth though, so I'll give the PTL Green a try.
