40 point small ship

By killerbeardhawk, in X-Wing Squad Lists

My Local game store is holding a 40 point small base ship tournament. I was looking for list ideas. Kwing and punisher might be available by then but can't be sure I'll have one. Currently I'm looking at two ships:

Whisper vi fcs acd and maybe ia but might just take the 39 points to shoot first.

Corran fcs focus for shield droid

At 40 points all ships will have weaknesses but these two can end a 1v1 in two rounds of combat if the dice go your way. What's your 40 point ship?

Echo

VI

ACD

Rebel Captive

FCS

or if yoyu'll have Wave 7 and raider i'd say

Vader

VI

Advanced homing missles

title

ATC

EU

for 38 points and ps 11

Tycho

PTL
Lone Wolf (only ship lol)

AT

Homing Missles or Conc missles to flavor.

If it's just one ship,

Vader VI.

TIE/x1, ATC, Veteran Instincts, Engine Upgrade, Free choice of missile.

Yea I'm trying not to include lone wolf but so far there hasn't been a rule made against it. Lone wolf Vader would be my choice. It seems cheap to use lone wolf tho but if anyone else does that day i b was think of using it.

Yeah, Lone Wolf seems like a no-brainer... still, here are some ideas for Rebels:

Ten Numb (Veteran Instincts, Mangler Cannon, Advanced Sensors)

39 points

Luke Skywalker (Lone Wolf, R2-D2, Shield Upgrade, Flechette Torpedoes)

40 points

Wedge (Predator, R2-D2, Shield Upgrade)

40 points

Tycho (Push the Limit, Test Pilot title, Daredevil, Proton Rockets, Experimental Interface)

38 points

Dagger (Advanced Sensors, Heavy Laser Cannon, E2 title, Gunner)

40 points

Keyan Farlander (Push the Limit, Advanced Sensors, E2 title, Lando Calrissian)

39 points

Delta with HLC and hull upgrade.

1v1 you can just Kturn all the time, then smack them with 4 red while they try to beat you 7hp protected with 3 greens. I would take that.

I've ran a Guri with at, advanced sensors, dampers and predator. Low ps sucks but it's the only 3 red 3 green 5+ health ship that u can fully upgrade at 40 pointd

I've considered a delta before because if my ps less than 7 it might as well be 1 verse most pilots.

Exacly.

And in 1v1 scenario you got two possibilities:

You go vs arc dodger: i think proper use of this awesome white 4kturn will keep them in arc most of time. And then you gonna blast them MUCH faster then they gonna even scrach your paint.

You go vs another jouster. Looking at what people before posted, maybe only those Bwing setups are threat, rest just cant stand 4 reds every turn....+ most of that ships are 1/2 green with 5 hp most...compared to yours 3green and 7 hp.

This, all day long. I bet no one sees it coming because the Defender is widely regarded as a suboptimal choice for tournament lists. Makes me wish my FLGS would run a tournament like this because the Defender was MADE FOR IT - could relive my glory days, playing the TIE Fighter PC game. Memories...

fly Palob; laugh

he goes up to 30 with the blaster/moldy/rec spec package, and 38 with opportunist and a shield :P

troll the competition!

Another 2 points rounds him off at 40, and you can get Glitterstim (or Dead Man's Switch, if necessary).

Both sound lovely (though stim's a tad redundant; the man is swimming in focus more often than not)

Deadmans or feedback are stupid situational but utterly hilarious if you pull them off :P

Having 'stim nets you longevity when you're getting focused down. Even though you've got quite a few focuses saved up, you do lose them faster than you generate them, after all :)
