So I'm after a freighter collection for the Rebels. While the big three (Ghost, Falcon and Outrider) are included, I'm happy with my Outrider, working on the Falcon and waiting for the Ghost. But I also wanted an all HWK-290 list.

I'm thinking one Kyle Katarn with Moldy Crow

The rest being Rebel Operatives

Was also looking at 5 Ion Cannon Turrets

My list, which is an attempt to make each ship different, is as follows:

HWK-290: Rebel Operative (16)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

· Experimental Interface (3)

Saboteur (2)

HWK-290: Rebel Operative (16)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Stealth Device (3)

Flight Instructor (4)

HWK-290: Rebel Operative (16)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Stealth Device (3)

Tactician (2)

HWK-290: Rebel Operative (16)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Shield Upgrade (4)

· Lando Calrissian (3)

HWK-290: · Kyle Katarn (21)

Predator (3)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Shield Upgrade (4)

Recon Specialist (3)

· Moldy Crow (3)

Total = 147 Points

But I'm always open to suggestions on how to get the best out of the HaWKs.

Do you like? Do you shake your head in disbelief at me being a dumb dumb knucklehead? Or is your opinion somewhere between the extremes?

Any improvements?

I'd throw a Blaster Turret (TLT when that comes available) on Kyle and maybe even ABT on one of the Operatives. Otherwise your damage is maxed out at 5 and in a 150 point game, that's garbage. You can control nicely, but most lists would just simply outdamage you. I'd also try to throw Roark or even Jan Ors in there as well. The SDs are also worthless. They'll be shot off really quick. Better off just going with Shield Upgrades, you have the points to spend.

Have fun!

Throw in a Jan, yes, but as crew.

Prefer Blaster Turret for Range 1-2 whereas the ABT is just Range 1. Was originally going to be a 5 Blaster Turret list. So Kyle and one operative can have that.

Yeah, the Stealth Device was a gamble. Will definitely go Shield instead.

Jan seems the popular choice, though if points allow I'll add Roark too.

I'll be back with updated list...,,

.....still needs some fine tuning but this is how it looks with a few changes. My thinking is to have Rebel Operatives with Ions to slow down ships for the characters to blast:

HWK-290: Rebel Operative (16)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Shield Upgrade (4)

Tactician (2)

HWK-290: Rebel Operative (16)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Shield Upgrade (4)

· Lando Calrissian (3)

HWK-290: · Kyle Katarn (21)

Predator (3)

Blaster Turret (4)

Shield Upgrade (4)

Recon Specialist (3)

· Moldy Crow (3)

HWK-290: · Roark Garnet (19)

Blaster Turret (4)

· Han Solo (2)

HWK-290: · Jan Ors (25)

Marksmanship (3)

Blaster Turret (4)

Might shield upgrade the characters, and kit them out with upgrades to make them hit hard while leaving the Ion Operatives to be quick nuisances.
