Need a YT-1300 in a list.

By Rogue Dakotan, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I just did my first ever repaint and now i need to fit that ship into a list so I can play wth my pretty new ship.

It's a YT-1300. Not interested in the prototypical "fat" builds for this ship. What can we come up with.

I've got two options so far. Not looking to win a championship, just something that won't get torn to shreds.

Option A:

100 Points

35 points
Jan Ors HWK-290
Blaster Turret Kyle Katarn Moldy Crow

35 points
Outer Rim Smuggler YT-1300
Gunner Millennium Falcon Ion projector

15 points
Prototype Pilot #1 A-Wing
Chardaan Refit

15 points
Prototype Pilot #2 A-Wing
Chardaan Refit

Option B:

100 Points

21 points
Airen Cracken Z-95 Headhunter
Swarm Tactics

51 points
Lando Calrissian YT-1300
Han Solo Chewbacca Millennium Falcon

28 points
“Dutch” Vander Y-Wing
Ion Cannon Turret

here lando takes an evade each turn, using a TL from Dutch and combined with the Han crew to use that TL how he needs. actions for everyone.

I can totally understand the desire to run a generic ORS since you've got a sweet custom paint job on it, but lots of guys with way more experience than I have would tell you that the ONLY use for the generic YT-1300 is as a blocker with Navigator, Intelligence Agent and Anti-Pursuit Lasers. Otherwise you're always better off with one of the named pilots if for no other reason than the extra attack die. I ran it once myself, before reading up on it, and found it to be SHOCKINGLY ineffective in the combat phase. Just my two cents!

One list I've had fun with back in the Phantom Menace days was a massive PS bid:

Chewie

Swarm Tactics

Dutch

ICT (can be updated to TLT)

R2-D6

Swarm Tactics

Roark

ICT

99 points (100 with TLT)

Nothing fat about that Falcon

My friend made a cool synergetic build

Chewbacca

Kyle Katarn

Jan ors

Ptl

MF

51 points.

The idea is you basically ptl every round and go a one forward every time to activate Kyle, than action, ptl and so on. He also found out that if you clear a stress by a green maneuver but bump someone, You can still do Kyle which activates ptl. It was very survivable, and he flies a lot now, the only build he lost to was a dual yt-2400. It is very interesting and really annoys me when I fly against it. Hope this helps!

He also found out that if you clear a stress by a green maneuver but bump someone, You can still do Kyle which activates ptl.

Just to clarify, this is NOT true. PTL activates when you perform an action, while Kyle reads "you may assign a focus token", which isn't the same as performing an action.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

Finally! I can argue that when I fly against him! Thanks : )

FatHan or Tankbacca all day long.

IMO its just a waste to fly YT1400 any other way.

My go-to Falcon build is this:

Chewbacca (Predator, Gunner, C-3PO, Millenium Falcon) 54 points

It has served me very well. I combined it with two B-Wings (Dagger and Blue), or Leebo (Determination/Lone Wolf, HLC, Recon Specialist), or A-Wing (Green with Chardaan Refit and PTL) + Headhunters (2x Talas)

Another strong one is this:

Chewbacca (Push the Limit, Recon Specialist, Jan Ors, Millenium Falcon, Engine Upgrade) 55 points

Here's a few others, inspired by Return of the Jedi:

Lando (Push the Limit, Nien Nunb, Jan Ors, Millenium Falcon)

Green (Push the Limit, Chardaan Refit, Autothrusters)

Dagger (Advanced Sensors)

100 points

Lando (Push the Limit, Nien Nunb, C-3PO, Millenium Falcon, Engine Upgrade)

Wedge (Predator, R2-D2, Proton Torpedoes, Shield Upgrade)

100 points

Lando (Nien Nunb, Millenium Falcon)

Prototype (Chardaan Refit) x2

Blue (Fire-Control System)

100 points
