Twin Laser Turrets are ridiculous

By Celes, in X-Wing

^I'm definitely thinking about swapping the Greedo HWK out for a Y, but I think I like the Glit-spike too much to run 3Y/1HWK

That is I am dusting off my 4 HWKs for a Twin Turbo Laser PARTY!!!!! :D

Rebel or Scum?

Thinking about:

[27] Torkil, TLT, Glitterstim

[25] Spice, TLT, Greedo, Glitterstim

[24] Spice, TLT, Glitterstim

[24] Spice, TLT, Glitterstim

That is nasty.

That list will kill people's hobby. :)

Who could live with the shame of Hwks kicking you own ass?

Biggest worry with something like this is that you are probably going to lose a Spicer before it ever shoots.

tbh I'm just using it as Spice Girls -1

Drugs Are A Girl's Best Friend?

Holding Out For a Heroin?

When do Death Sticks get an Illicit upgrade!

I mentioned this earlier in this thread,but I flew against almost the exact list, but instead he had feedback array on all of them.

I have to admit I wasn't prepared for what was next

The way he set up took couple turns to get it into position. But he literally flew around in circles with no option for me to come at him. Again this was on vassal. A timed game I wouldn't have to go after him.

It did it's job well

My list was a fun list not competitive so I'm not sure how well it do against more competitive lists but if an opponent isn't expecting it, I'd say it do quite well

We already have B-Wings?

Maybe your fickle green dice are not so fickle after all, huh ☺

Maybe he's just one of the most basic trolls you see on any message board.

Ficklegreendice is a nice guy. He always puts some reasoning to back his complaints, and is never disrespectful - that's more than good enough for me.

What's your thoughts behind R4-D6 on Horton? I'd probably go for a generic R5 Astro on him instead to cancel about half the crits he can receive (including the prevalent Direct Hits that can really shorten his life span). I like the 2Y/2HWK split though, and Horton has some pretty consistent offence with the TLT

R5 doesn't cancel, it just turns crits into normal hits. R4 D6 cancels hits outright, and you are hit with at least 3 hits in Y wing you are not very likely to cancel any, so its 2-3 canceled hits per game for 1 point, and Horton in this list will get focus fired very fast

Well right, R5 flips Ship crits, which I figured would be more likely than a bunch of high-damage attacks. If you've got the TLT you should be flying to discourage focus-fire, and even with the best intent you should be able to make it so no more than an attack or two a round happen against him. R4-D6 only clicks if more than two damage get through anyway, while R5 will passively fix your worst problems (console fire, damaged engine, critical hit, hull breach, damaged sensor array...) often before they even become an issue.

But for the same cost, I think it's just a matter of preference. My local guys love throwing crits so it happens a lot more often to me across the five HP of a Y-Wing.
