Cracken Leebo

By USCGrad90, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just want some feedback on a potential build for 99 points:

Z95 Airen Cracken (19) Swarm Tactics (2) Cluster Missles (4) Munitions Failsafe (1) = 26

YT-2400 Leebo (34) Determination (1) Dash Rendar (2) Outrider (5) Mangler Cannon (4) = 46

B Wing Blue Squadron (22) Fire Control System (2) Ion Cannon (3) = 27

The idea is to use Airen with the B-Wing and let Leebo Flank on the outside and use Asteroids for cover.

I thought about another B Wing instead of Cracken, but don't like the idea of all pilots being under PS6.

These are my available ships if anyone has suggestions for any changes:

4x-Z95; 3x-XWing; YT2400; 2x-YWing; 2x-AWing; EWing; HWK

I think MF on Cracken is possible a waist with CM. most of the time 1 of them will hit unless you have bad dice or shooting at interceptors. Determination on Leebo is good but looks much better on paper the in play testing

I would try

"Leebo" (34)
Lone Wolf (2)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)
Recon Specialist (3)
Outrider (5)

Airen Cracken (19)
Veteran Instincts (1)

Keyan Farlander (29)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Fire-Control System (2)

Total: 100

Pair up Craken and Keyan and use Leebo to run around the outside trying to keep him beyond range 2 of the others. lone wolf and Recon will work wonders together that way

don't like ships below ps 6 do you have a IG problem?

I'd switch the Ion Cannon out for a Flechette Cannon. 1 stress token (no actions, no red manoeuvres) is often handier than 1 ion token, and works against big ships just a well.

If you do want to spend the 2 pts in a 100pt build (initiative is nice, but not amazing), you could then E2 the Bwing and throw Nien Numb aboard. It's not much, but having green speed 3/4 forward can occasionally be useful on a B. It's surprising, and it's only 2pts.

Just lost with a different build against 2 IGs, so I guess I am hedging a bit.

Scum Kath and boba with bombs are great a dealing with twin IG'S joust drop bombs and fly past shoot out the rear work very well
