Dual Decimators

By GreenSpeed, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Has anyone had success with dual Decimators lists? Was thinking something like:

RAC- expose, rebel captive, ysanne isard

Patrol leader- vader crew

Patrol leader with vader can deal,with interceptors, while rac puts out a lot of damage himself

Expose is about the same as taking focus only you paid points for it. It's only really useful if you have some way of combining with something else, like expose AND focus.

A friend of mine attended a regional where dual Deci won - it was at IQ in the UK, so you can find the list on ListJuggler.

You can't manevuer like Dash Rendar (YT24) and you can't tank and evade like a fat Falcon so your options are stress and re-rolling red dice. I think he had rebel captive, and actually Oicunn's ability is pretty good against blockers.

My "convoy list"

fly the patrol leader in front as he moves first and follow it round the outside of the board with Kenkirk

if you can always shoot the same target with both of them

Commander Kenkirk

VT-49 Decimator
Ysanne Isard, Mara Jade, Mercenary Copilot

Patrol Leader
VT-49 Decimator
Mercenary Copilot, Rebel Captive, Tactician

I like your list alot, but I would change out the Tactician for something else. While the Tactician is good in theory, you only get in at targets at range 2 in your front arc. And that is alot easier said than done. I ran a dual Decimator list at a local tournament and had a Tactician on each one. I think I did like 1 or maybe 2 stress all tournament. I really felt like it was a waste of points given how the ship plays.

you can replace it with Moff Jerjerrod

or Anti-Pursuit Lasers

I'm sure Oicunn + EPT is better than Kenkick + antipursuit laser.
