Hi All,
I had been playing Imperial for my FLGS for a campaign. Now with the campaign winding down, I wish to try out a Rebel build.
I have the following and I wish to know of a viable Rebel build @ 400 points.
A. Core Set
B. 2 x Assault Frigates
C. 2 x Neb B frigates
D. 6 x CR90 corvettes
E. 2 x Rebel Squadrons Sets
Suggestions and tried/tested fleet builds are welcome.
I went to a tournament with 2x AF, one Corvette and 4 squadrons A-wings.
And did very well.
I upgraded one A to Tycho. (do not leave without him)
I added the titles Paragon for one AF and Jaina's Light plus Leia for the Corvette.
This leaves very few points to play with. Season to your own personal tastes.
IMO 2x AF are rather n00b-friendly. which is good. Since everyone is n00b for the moment.
(at least; we were in our area)
[edit]; missed the '400' points. *oops*
I'd add a Nebulon B Escort with Salvation. And most likely some extra squadrons. Perhaps a Corvette with Dodonna's Pride.
Edited by Elkerlyc2 Assault Frigates (no titles, ECM of course)
Neb B Escort (Salvation, XI7 Turbolasers)
Maybe another Neb B if you like them
Corvette B (Dodonnas Pride)
fill up with squadrons (mainly A Wings, some X Wings)
The ships will get you to 300 - 340 points (depends if you go with 2 Nebs and if you load any extra upgrades), that leaves you with 60 - 100 points for fighters. If your ships gets you over 350 (upgrades, commander etc) I wouldn't add any fighters and instead get another Corvette A or throw in some nasty upgrades for the whales and the second Neb B (turbolasers, XX-9 or XI7 are really nice)
I prefer to play my ships almost bare (very upgrade-light), and since you have such a nice selection you might want to go that way too (at least at the beginning of your Rebel career).
