Have you had enough of trolls?
Enjoy:
Any thoughts on a Fellowship of the Ring themed list for X-Wing?
Points don't matter so much.
It's just a bit of fun to see what nine ships and/or upgrades you'd use to represent them?
What's your Fellowship of the Wing?

You da man!
that is a great list and you jumped right into the spirit of the challenge.
NERDS!
NERDS!
Geek
and proud
NERDS!
Like Xander, Geek. There is a difference. 
.
Have been for 38 years now (since I learned to read) and don't plan to change.
Harder would be to X-Wingify Dune. But first let others come up with their take on this challenge, I'm curious, there's so much choice!
I think I'd make Gimli some sort of B Wing. (slow dwarf and all that)
NERDS!

Indeed there is. Nerds wear pocket protectors.
A geek is a nerd with social skills...
Nice job on the list, agree that Gimli could be a B.Wing, but autoblaster is a nice touch ...
How about an Imperial version ...
Oh .... I was thinking Buffalo Wings nevermind.
THEY'RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO CORUSCANT!
THEY'RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO CORUSCANT!
So, the One Ring is actually just ...
The Schwarz?
Merry: Tala Squadron Pilot (by RotK, I'd make him a Green with Opportunist)
Pippin: Tala once again (by RotK, Green with Predator)
Frodo: Prototype (by RotK, Green with VI)
Sam: Tala (by RotK, Rookie X-Wing)
Legolas: Corran Horn with VI and FCS (cus seriously . . . Legolas OP!)
Gimli: Warthog
Boromir: Blue Squadron Pilot (well, perhaps a named B-Wing with DtF ;P)
Aragorn: Wedge Antilles with R2-D2, Predator, Engine
Gandalf the Grey: Kyle Katarn with TLT, RecSpec, Moldy Crow
Gandalf the White: Lando with Nien Nunb
Edited by AilowynnLet's mix this up with other factions! Here comes the Imperial Fellowship.
Frodo: "Echo" (Advanced Cloaking Device, Push the Limit) - Very hard to catch him and he pushed himself to his limits
Sam: Black Squadron Pilot (Wingman) - Always by Frodo's side
Pippin: Black Squadron Pilot (Decoy) - Remember the Palantir?
Merry: Black Squadron Pilot (Daredevil) - For riding with the Riders of Rohan
Boromir: "Fel's Wrath" (Royal Guard TIE, Hull Upgrade, Shield Upgrade) - You just can't take him down, and once you do, he's still not done fighting!
Legolas: Col. Vessery (Marksmanship, Stealth Device) - An excellent marksman and quite maneuverable as well.
Gimli: Rexlar Brath ("Mangler" Cannon, Hull Upgrade) - A bit redundant, but I feel it matches Gimli's "take-'em-down" attitude
Aragorn: Darth Vader (TIE Advanced/x1, Advanced Targeting Computer, Veteran Instincts, Engine Upgrade) - He's basically the best of the best
Gandalf: Colonel Jendon (ST-321, Sensor Jammer, Weapons Engineer) - I know crew is a bit of a stretch, but it helps Gandalf perform the supporting roll he had in the books. Note the total lack of a Cannon upgrade here.
Also you'll note that Gimli and Legolas are the same ship type because despite all their differences, they had much more in common than either of them realized.
Indeed Budgernaut; I never stated a faction.
Be interesting to see a Scum and Villainy Fellowship of the Wing
Frodo: Sam, I'm Glad You're With Me
IG-88D + Determination + Accuracy Corrector + Ion Cannon + Flechette Cannon + Cloaking Device + IG-2000 + Ion Projector
Sam: Don't You Leave Him, Samwise Gamgee
IG-88A + Adrenaline Rush + Sensor Jammer + Mangler Cannon + IG-2000 + Counter-Measures
Merry: I'm the Tall One
Binayre Pirate + Concussion Missiles + Glitterstim + Engine Upgrade
Pippin: It Comes In Pints?
Binayre Pirate + Assault Missiles + Feedback Array
Boromir: One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mordor
Guri + Draw Their Fire + Virago + Engine Upgrade + Dead Man's Switch + Enhanced Scopes
Legolas: I'm on Seventeen!
Palob Godalhi + Moldy Crow + Recon Specialist + Twin Laser Turret
Gimli: And My Axe
Syndicate Thug + Autoblaster Turret + BTL-A4 + R4-B11 + Plasma Torpedoes + Engine Upgrade
Aragorn: Stand, Men of the West!

Gandalf: Death Is Just Another Path
Latts Razzi + Mangler Cannon + Homing Missiles + Bossk + Weapons Engineer + K4 Security Droid + Hot Shot Blaster + Hound's Tooth + Tactical Jammer
Frodo and Sam just go together; while Sting finds orcish weak spots and the One Ring shrouds Frodo in times of need, Sam stands stalwart.
Pippin and Merry dish out the damage they can, providing comic relief.
Boromir charges in boldly but is built to die in glory.
Legolas uses his sharp eyes to guide his swift arrows.
Gimli drives in slow (but can be tossed!) and cleaves through anything that stands in his way.
Aragorn can hit hard but inspires his troops as a strong leader.
Gandalf supports the team, obstructs the opponent, and even comes back from certain death!
Who would you even select for a Dune-themed list? Leto, Jessica, Paul, Duncan? Stilgar, Chani? The Baron, Feyd, Beast Rabban? The Emperor, Irulan?

Nicely done. One small super geek mistake though, Gandalf bore Narya, Galadriel bore Nenya.
Ah, of course. I wasn't quite sure but couldn't be troubled to look it up thinking nobody'd notice. I know Vilya was carried by Elrond.
I keep my knowledge up to date with the LCG
Aragorn: Stand, Men of the West!
Serissu + Squad Leader + Heavy Scyk + Shield Upgrade + Heavy Laser Cannon
I was trying to find an Aragorn with an illicit slot. He practically begs for a Glitterstim, not all that glitters is gold after all. .

What to do for worms? Asteroids, of course!
Just to counter those rebel fellowships, here's the Imperial Wing Wraiths:
Er-Murazor, The Witch King of Angmar
First of the Nine, leader of the Ring-Wraiths, it was said that no mortal man could slay him. His great strength allowed him to dual wield immense weapons in combat, making him the true terror of any battlefield he entered.
Soontir Fel (27)
-Push the Limit (3)
-Autothrusters (2)
-Stealth Device (3)
Khamul the Easterling
Often named as Second of the Nine, Khamul was Er-Murazor's right-hand wraith. He inspired great terror upon the elves of Mirkwood, corrupting the woods near his stronghold.
Carnor Jax (26)
-Push the Limit (3)
-Autothrusters (2)
-Stealth Device (3)
The Other Nazgul
Names long forgotten to all but the most ancient and forbidden archives, the Nazgul follow the commands of their dark master, and he himself, those of Sauron. Their search for the ring will continue until it is returned to the burning throne of Mordor.
7x Royal Guard Pilot (22)
-Autothrusters (2)
-Veteran Instincts (1)
244 points total
Same point value as the epic Fellowship list above. If we added Faramir, maybe Eomer, and a couple orc fillers, we could have a grand Epic fight
Edited by ErulethoWhat to do for worms? Asteroids, of course!
Well they are canon 
Enjoying these lists!
Wing Wraiths; how did I miss that?
